Enzo PIPONNIER : Effects of muscle group, muscle length and metabolic profile on differences in neuromuscular fatigue between prepubertal children and adults
Summary: The aims of this PhD thesis were to quantify the effects of (i) force level differences, using different muscle groups and muscle lengths, and (ii) of metabolic profile differences on the differences...

François FAVIER : How muscle stops building when it's working
Summary: Muscle cells have to cope with high energy demand during physical exercise. Some anabolic processes are ATP-costly (protein and glycogen synthesis) and can thus be reduced to ensure cell survival...

Thomas LAPOLE : Acute and chronic neuromuscular adaptations to local vibration: Toward a new neuromuscular rehabilitation modality
Summary: Vibration applied locally to a relaxed muscle or its tendon is a powerful stimulus for Ia afferents originating from muscle spindles. Their prolonged activation (i.e. 20 to 60 min) may trigger...

Romuald LEPERS : Changes in corticospinal excitability after whole body exercise
Summary: The efficacy of the corticospinal pathway to relay neural signals from higher brains areas to the locomotor muscles (i.e. corticospinal excitability) is subject to alterations following exercise...

Pedro JIMENEZ-REYES : Effectiveness of an individualized training based on force-velocity profile on jump performance
Summary: Ballistic performances are mainly determined by the maximal power (Pmax) lower limbs can generate, but also by the underlying individual force-velocity (F-v) mechanical profile, especially the...

Callum BROWNSTEIN : Fatigue and recovery of neuromuscular function following competitive soccer match-play
Summary: The topic of fatigue and recovery following competitive soccer match-play has gained considerable attention within the scientific literature, largely due to the demanding nature of modern-day...

Vincent MARTIN : Neuromuscular consequences of obesity
Summary: Although the cardiovascular and metabolic consequences of obesity have been studied extensively over the last two decades, less attention has been paid to investigating the impact of obesity...

Sebastien BANZET : Circulating miRNAs in response to exercise and muscle injury
Summary: MicroRNAs (miRNA) are small non-coding RNAs involved in the post-transcriptional control of gene expression. They can be released by the cells upon stimulation or injury and can be measured in...

Presentation: Non disponible
Le 3 octobre 2019
Metabolic and Fatigue Profiles Are Comparable Between Prepubertal Children and Well-Trained Adult Endurance Athletes
Summary: It is well acknowledged that prepubertal children have smaller body dimensions and a poorer mechanical (movement) efficiency, and thus a lower work capacity than adults. However, the scientific...

Billy SPERLICH : Current & future methods in endurance training to improve and maintain performance
Summary: The talk will present current evidence and viewpoints on how to prescribe training intensity, volume, frequency in elite and recreational athletes in order to improve and maintain organ function...

Nicola MAFFIULETTI : From ‘De Motu Animalium’ (1680) to ‘De Velocitate Neuron-Motorium’ (2019): towards a better understanding of how the nervous system drives muscles
Summary: The objectives of my talk will be to discuss the often underestimated contribution of the nervous system to the force-generating capacity of a muscle and the valuable role such knowledge can...

Jorn HELGE et Laurent MESSONNIER : Maximal fat oxidation: Implications for health and performance
Pr Jorn W Helge
Summary : Maximal fat oxidation can be determined by a simple incremental exercise test in both athletes but also older and very untrained persons. The first part of this talk will focus...
