Marie Gernigon

Marie Gernigon is a lecturer at Université Paris-Saclay, affiliated with the Complexity, Innovation, Motor Skills and Sports Activities Laboratory (CIAMS) and the Graduate School Sport, Movement & Human Factors. Her research focuses on exercise physiology and cardiovascular adaptations to exercise, with applications in both athletic performance and rehabilitation for persons with disabilities.

• PhD in exercise physiology (defended 2015 at Université d’Angers)
• Specialist in cardiorespiratory adaptations and vascular training methods
• Co-developer of innovative pedagogical approaches in physiology education

Her current projects explore blood flow restriction training (tourniquet methods) and GPS-based mobility assessment for peripheral arterial disease patients. She contributes to cross-disciplinary teaching initiatives and international collaborations, including Paralympic movement accessibility studies.

Marie Gernigon co-supervises PhD research with François Cottin and Dan Gordon while leading laboratory practicals that integrate physiology, biomechanics, and motor control principles. She actively promotes student engagement with real-world applications through disability simulation training and fieldwork experiences.
