His research perspectives on the prevention of hamstring muscular injuries related to sprinting is partly included in the FULGUR research programme (team : 30 researchers, Grant: €1.9 M, ANR-19-STPH-003) funded by the French National Research Agency with a view to the 2024 Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games.

1. Injuries in athletics varied with sex and disciplines. Hamstring muscle injuries were the first during international athletics championships, and mainly for disciplines including sprints (Edouard et al. 2015, 2016, 2020, 2021) 2. Hamstring muscles have fundamental role in the horizontal force production for sprint performance (Morin et al. 2015), this role change with fatigue and compensatory strategies with gluteal muscles (Edouard et al. 2018). 3. Hamstring injury rehabilitation should be multifactorial and individualised to improve secondary prevention (Mendiguchia et al. 2017). 4. Reduction of injury occurrence in athletics can be performed by regularly session of exercises-based prevention programme (Edouard et al. 2020).
