After obtaining a National Coaching Diploma in Athletics (1998) and a PhD in 2004 (University of Saint-Etienne, and University of Udine, Italy), Jean-Benoit worked as Senior Lecturer at the University of Saint-Etienne (2005-2014), and then Full Professor the University of Côte d'Azur (2014-2020). Before transferring to the University of Saint-Etienne and to the LIBM (2020), he was Deputy Director of the Laboratory of Human Motricity Expertise Sport Health and Vice-Dean for research of the Faculty of Sports Sciences of the University of Côte d 'Azur. Jean-Benoit is also Associate Researcher at the Sport Performance Research Institute (Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand), and Visiting Professor at Loughborough University (Masters in Strength and Conditioning). JB's main research topic aim at the development of biomechanical models and methods for analyzing human and sporting locomotion and performance (pedaling, jumping, running, sprinting), and the associated neuromuscular capabilities of strength, speed, power and stiffness. These models have been extended to field experimental conditions, in particular using accessible tools. This has enabled significant applications and advances in sports training (for example via the concept of “individual force-velocity deficit” in jumping), and in the prevention of hamstring muscle injuries, a current research topic within the Sport Performance Injury Prevention team at LIBM. These research activities and projects have received 3 international awards, major funding within the framework of the “FULGUR” program funded by the ANR (Elite sports performance research program), and led to more than 130 international publications (H-index 36 and> 4000 citations, Source Scopus October 2020), a collective book (2018) and more than 50 invited international conferences. Finally, these research activities led to numerous collaborations with sports federations and professional clubs (mainly Football, Rugby, Athletics).

1. Ultra-endurance runners adopt a ‘’protective’’ biomechanical running patter in fatigued situations. 2. An optimal individual force-velocity profile exists, which maximises vertical jump performance. 3. The performance during the acceleration phase of sprinting is linked to the direction of the pushing forces exerced on the ground. 4. The hamstrings play a key role in ground force production and transfer during the acceleration phase in sprinting. 5. High-level resistance training improces horizontal force production in sprinting without affecting the overall movement. | |
