Former high-level athlete and then international ice dance trainer, Christophe HAUTIER completed his PhD in "Biology of muscular exercise" in December 1996 at the Jean MONNET University of Saint-Etienne under the supervision of Prof. Jean-René Lacour. This work entitled "determinants of muscle fatigue during sprinting" dealt with the determinants of performance and manifestations of fatigue during short maximal exercise. At the end of this PhD, Christophe was recruited as an associate professor at the Blaise Pascal University of Clermont-Ferrand where he was director of the Master's Degree “Sports Training” and develops research on the pediatric exercise. After having defended, in 2002, his Habilitation to Direct Research, on the theme of "The influence of mechanical constraints on the production of power in humans", Christophe was recruited at the Claude Bernard University - LYON 1. He has been responsible for the Master's Degree "Mental and Physical Preparation and rehabilitation" for more than 10 years before becoming director of the Interuniversity Laboratory of Motricity Biology - EA 7424 on the Lyon site. In parallel with his University functions, Christophe created in 2007, with several partners, the company Soléus, Leader in the control of sports equipment. Christophe's research activity focuses on a single axis: studying the influence of mechanical stress on power production, metabolic rate and fatigue in humans. This research is applied in the field of sports performance, health and the design of sports and medical equipment. The mechanical stress studied are the force and velocity of the movement, the vibrations transmitted to the human body as well as the training load. Currently, Christophe is leading the VIBRINNOV project aimed at reducing the vibratory stress in sport (FEDER funds) in collaboration with the companies BABOLAT, GERFLOR, HOKA ONE ONE, NATURAL GRASS and ATECA.

1. Optimal pedalling speed is correlated to the relative surface of fast-twitch fibres in the vastus lateralis. 2. The level of antagoniste muscle coactivation decreases in a fatigued state as a response to the loss of force of agonist muscles in trained athletes. 3. Pedalling frequency influences the metabolic output and performance efficiency during maximal spring repetitions. 4. The amplitude and origin of fatigue differ depending on force/velocity conditions of contraction during maximal exercise. 5. Vibrational behaviour during running is influenced by the type of material and movement pattern. | |
