معرفی
Anne-Marie Heugas de Panafieu is a Lecturer at the Faculty of Sports Sciences of the University of Paris-Saclay, located in Building 335, 91440 Bures sur Yvette. Her academic work focuses on the optimization of sports performance through integrative physiological approaches to motor control, examining how expert athletes achieve energy efficiency in their movements.
Her research program is structured around three interconnected axes:
- First Axis: Investigation of adaptation strategies in speed and learning constraints among experts, identifying key variables that characterize the expert's motor signature and energy efficiency (Phamsoupha et al., 2019; Heugas et al., 2018; Majed et al., 2013, 2017).
- Second Axis: Optimization of sporting gestures through learning techniques including virtual reality, mental imagery, and action observation to enhance performance in gymnastics and race walking, connected to the "REVEA" PPR High Performance Project JOP 2024.
- Third Axis: Analysis of coupling strategies between locomotor and cardio-respiratory systems in expert athletes and their effects on energy metabolism, with potential applications for delaying fatigue onset and increasing endurance.
Her integrative approach uniquely combines the study of energy expenditure, motor coordination, and perception of effort to understand athletic expertise from multiple physiological perspectives. This multidisciplinary research bridges sports science, physiology, and biomechanics to develop practical applications for athletic training methodologies.
Dr. Heugas de Panafieu's work has significant implications for sports training programs, potentially revolutionizing how coaches develop energy-efficient movement patterns and how athletes learn complex motor skills through technological interventions. Her involvement in the "REVEA" PPR High Performance Project indicates substantial institutional support for her research program focused on athletic excellence.
