Physiological Adaptations to Exercise and Exercise Rehabilitation (APERE)

Research unit - UR 3300

Description

The research themes of APERE are aimed at studying the adaptations inherent to muscular exercise and motor skills in healthy and pathological subjects, based on an integrative human physiology and physiopathology approach.

The research focuses on the interactions between the respiratory, cardiovascular, neuromuscular and energetic systems involved in motor function. It provides a better understanding of physiological adaptations and behaviours to effort, with the aim of setting up personalised, adapted and innovative effort rehabilitation and sports training programs.

Example(s) of projects

ANR - NEPTUNE project «Swimming and Para-Swimming: All United For Our Elites»: Obtained under the Investment Plan of Future (PIA) «Sport of Very High Performance» in preparation for the Olympic and Paralympic Games of Paris 2024.

This project brought together a consortium of five (5) grandes écoles (ENPC, ENS, Centrale Lyon, INSA Rouen and INSA Lyon), five (5) universities (Universities of Rouen, Rennes, Picardie, Lille and Paris XIII) of the Institut National du Sport, de l'Expertise et de la Performance (INSEP) and two sports federations (Fédération Française de Natation - FFN and Fédération Française Handisport - FFH).
To meet the needs of these sports federations, three areas of work were identified in the NePTUNE project, in accordance with the 5th challenge (Learning and Performance Optimization), the 7th challenge (Big Data and Artificial Intelligence for Performance) and the 9th challenge (Specificity of the Paralympic) of the ANR project call.
