  • research domains

    The research team works on 2 major topics :

    • TOPIC 1 : “Well-being, education and environment” combining three subtopics
      : “training engineering”, “physical risks and environment” and “physical norms” ;

     

    • TOPIC 2 : “Sport and health engineering” with two sub-topics : “muscular
      function and movement” and “empowerment and motivation”.

     

    Areas of expertise

    • Analysis of human movement and sports performance
    • Design of innovative methods and approaches to assessing movement
    • Design of adapted physical activity programmes
    • Assessment of the muscular function
    • Posture assessment
    • Training for adults
  • key research projects

  • main scientific collaborations

    SOCIETY OF BIOMECHANICS / NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL NETWORK
    Academic society aiming to promote research in the field of
    biomechanics. Cooperation between researchers and sharing
    knowledge more widely. Several members of the team are
    also members of this society.

    IBTN (INTERNATIONAL BEHAVIORAL TRIALS NETWORKS) /NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL NETWORK
    International researcher network to improve the quality of
    clinical trials and behavioural intervention :
    • Help improve behavioural trials on an international scale
    • Set up a network to boost the ability to undertake higherquality trials
    • Develop a list of recommendations, tools and methodological
    articles on behavioural trials and the development of non medical interventions

  • Main research facilities

    Technical support centre (165m2) for analysing movement and posture, and equipped on a permanent basis with 3 reaction force platforms synchronised with an optronic movementdetection system (12 cameras).

    This technical support centre has additional devices to assess motor and muscular functions :
    1 portable electromyography system,12 inertial measurement units, 2 equipped ergocycles, 1 leg-extensor ergometer, 1 myoton Pro,  Actigraphs,  1 Opto Jump system.

  • Main collarations

    ERASMUS agreement with : University of Lausanne (Switzerland)
    Reunion University Hospital Laboratory of Simulation and
    Movement Modelling (Canada) LAAS (Toulouse) etc.
