Pierre SAMOZINO
Since 2011, Pierre Samozino has been an associate professor in biomechanics at the University Savoie Mont Blanc in Chambéry, where he is in charge of the Master degree in Engineering and Ergonomics in Sports and Physical Activities in the Sport Sciences department. He graduated in 2009 from the University of Saint-Etienne where he was then ATER for 2 years (2008-2010). In 2011, he worked as a research and development engineer at Salomon company, an outdoor sports equipment manufacturer. His main research activities focus on the analysis of the force production capacities of the neuromuscular system and on the biomechanics of human locomotion through the use of theoretical (via modeling) and experimental (mechanical and physiological measurements) approaches in order to allow a better evaluation, understanding and optimization of human movements. He thus participated in the development and validation of simple methods and concepts allowing a better understanding of the muscular determinants of explosive performance (jumps, sprints, change of direction) and making their evaluation accessible to as many people as possible, especially coaches, with the aim of athletes training individualization. His research activities also focus on the alteration of these force producing abilities with fatigue or after injury. These various research projects have been done in collaborations with sports clubs, federations and sport equipment companies. In November 2020, he participated in the publication of ~ 100 scientific articles (cited> 5,000 times), co-edited an international book, participated in the writing of 3 other national or international books as well as several dissemination articles to general public (index H = 43). To date, he has co-supervised 8 doctoral and post-doctoral students.

Publications

1. Two new simple methods to determine individual Force-Velocity-Power relationship in jumping and sprinting on the field with an accuracy/reliability similar to lab devices. 2. The concept of optimal Force-Velocity profile to maximise explosive performance (jumping, sprinting) as a tool to help to plan and individualise training and to improve understanding of the underlying determinants of these kinds of performances. 3. The concept and the détermination of the effectiveness of force application in sprinting as a factor of performance during acceleration. 4. A new simple method to determine continuously (unlimlited number of steps) and in autonomy (embedded and no cumbersome) on foot strike pattern onto the ground during running on the field with an accuracy/reliability similar to lab devices. 5. 3D Power(or force)-Velocity-Time relationships to study the power(strength)-endurance capacities regarding force-velocity conditions and to consider it when studying fatigue.
