M1 Sport Sciences for Health and Performance

Dr Yiou E Dr Hamaoui A Dr Vignais N.

This course contains the three following sub-courses:

1) Biomechanical basis of postural control (6h CM).
This sub-course focuses on the biomechanics of postural equilibrium, considering in one hand the ability to maintain the bony chain in a fixed geometrical configuration (conservative system), and in the other hand the ability to compensate for the different internal forces challenging body balance (operative system). A specific attention will be given to the interaction between posture and respiration and its implication in sport performance.

2) Coordination between posture and movement (12h CM, 6hTD).
In this sub-course, the functional links between postural control in dynamical conditions (pointing, gait initiation, lunging), motor performance and stability is presented through the concept of "posturo-kinetics capacity" (PKC). The impact of innovative methods (whole-body vibration, spine manipulation) on the PKC is also presented.

3) Sport Biomechanics (6h CM).
This teaching unit is dedicated to applied knowledge of biomechanics in sport sciences. Firstly, the different systems allowing measurement of sport movement will be presented, according to their advantages and drawbacks. Kinematical, dynamical and electromyographical signals related to these systems will be tackled. Secondly, biomechanical characteristics of sport capacities will be defined, i.e. running, jumping, throwing and cycling.

Fundamentals in Sports Psychology Lectures will be interactive, based on the knowledge of the students to present the theoretical concepts and theories. They will be based on academic research and on best practices in sport psychology. We will use scientific article and case studies, as well as students’ experience.

- The content on Neuroscience of human movement will provide up-to-date knowledge about the methods and procedures currently used to study the brain functions of perception and action; motor adaptation and learning; the characteristics of brain plasticit.

This Unit of assessment will be composed of muscular physiology, cardiorespiratory and environmental physiology. The muscular physiology will look into major parts of a skeletal muscle fiber at cellular level as well as the neural control of skeletal muscle contraction.
The cardiorespiratory module will concentrate on cardiorespiratory interactions at rest and during exercise.
The environmental physiology module will look into the physiological adaptations to extreme environments at rest and during exercise.

The aim of this unit is to prepare students to design and implement a research project at master’s level. Students will be presented with innovative projects carried out in the various laboratories, hospital units and start ups involved in the field of exercise and chronic diseases with a view to interact with these professionals. The ultimate goal would be the student’s integration in the various research projects carried out for their internship. Students will also participate in the School of Sport yearly conference providing a wealth of topics related to their field of study and beyond.

This course is divided into three different subcourses:
- Research methods 1
A critical examination of current scientific paradigms, and research methodologies related to conducting research in the field of human movement sciences.
- Measurement tools for Sports Performance
Some concepts of metrology, different sensors and human motion capture systems are presented and explained to students. Students will take part in some practical work.
This module will also introduce a variety of physiological field and laboratory tests and protocols used to measure performance capabilities in various sporting situations.

- Analysis of Movement and Physiological signals:
Presentation of the main characteristics of signals that are commonly analyzed in the field of human movement sciences
Practical work: writing Matlab scripts and functions in order to analyze some human movement data.

During lectures we will present the fundamentals in statistics, with a focus on data analysis related to human performance and sports science. Applied statistics tutorials will be based on this theoretical knowledge and data analysis oriented towards human performance and sports science.

The module on Statistics will focus on qualitative and quantitative variables, descriptive statistics, unimodal/bimodal distributions, statistical threshold and confidence intervals, hypotheses, standardization (z scores), and inferential statistics (Student t, ANOVA, correlations).
Theoretical knowledge acquired during lectures will be applied and extended during tutorials, such as statistical threshold (type I and II errors), graphical representations, etc.

The module on Performance Analysis and Monitoring will examine techniques used to assess and monitor sporting performance using real-time coding systems and look into advanced physiological field and laboratory monitoring systems.

To enhances students' analytical skills
To provide students with the intellectual means against which to evaluate or better understand their work
To enable students to apply theoretical and conceptual frameworks to their field of study.
