In 2000 he moved to Quebec (Canada) to take a postdoctoral position at the University Laval and was finally named at the sport department of the Savoy University in 2001. His general research area investigates the behavioral, neurophysiological and biomechanical factors associated with fatigue. The valorization of this work was formalized by the signature of several contracts with the industrial (Téfal, Salomon, ...) and institutional (French Handball Federation) worlds. In October 2020 the scientific activity is characterized by the drafting of 30 indexed international publications, 18 peer-reviewed and 9 professional. It is accompanied by a regular dissemination of the results in about twenty National and International congresses or conferences. Nicolas has supervised 7 students at Master2 level and trained 6 PhD students with supervision rates above 80%. He participates in the editorial process as an expert for 7 international journals in the general field of behavioral neurosciences, his H index was 12.
1. Specific sensorimotor adaptations giving rise to palliative motor forms (Compensatory Motor Strategies) are observed in connection with the establishment of local peripheral fatigue. 2. The CNS can proactively integrate the state of muscle exhaustion into internal models of control. 3. In the field of motor rehabilitation, the reproduction of the axes of natural destabilization reinforces the sensorimotor restoration. 4. The sensory origin of the sense of effort depends on the context of the realization of the voluntary movement. |
