معرفی
Benoit DUGUE is a Professor at the Faculty of Sport Sciences, University of Poitiers, France, a position held since 2002. Previously, he served as Associate Professor at University of Franche-Comte (1999-2001) and Assistant Professor at University of Limoges (2001-2002), following 11 years as Senior Researcher at Minerva Foundation Institute for Biomedical Research in Helsinki.
His research centers on physiological responses to cryostimulation and cold exposure, with emphasis on whole-body cryostimulation (WBC) applications in sports and clinical settings. Key areas include sleep physiology in athletes, cardiovascular adaptations post-myocardial infarction, metabolomic profiling during exercise recovery, and thermal regulation mechanisms. His work bridges sports science with clinical rehabilitation, particularly investigating WBC's therapeutic potential for pain management and sleep disorders.
Analysis of his 2024-2025 publications reveals three dominant trends: 1) Protocol optimization studies examining exposure duration, timing, and individual factors (sex/BMI) for maximum efficacy; 2) Clinical applications targeting menstrual pain, cardiovascular recovery, and metabolic responses; 3) Safety-focused research establishing contraindications through international consensus efforts. His work consistently employs rigorous methodologies including randomized controlled trials and metabolomic analyses.
