معرفی
Guillaume Millet is a Professor at Jean Monnet University in Saint-Étienne, France, where he leads the ActiFS (Physical Activity, Fatigue, Health) academic chair. He is also the Director of the inter-university Laboratory of Human Movement Biology and a Senior Member of the Institut Universitaire de France. Previously, he directed the Neuromuscular Fatigue Lab at the University of Calgary and held research positions at INSERM. His work bridges exercise science, clinical rehabilitation, and human performance.

His research centers on neuromuscular fatigue, exploring its physiological, neurophysiological, and biomechanical underpinnings in both elite athletes and clinical populations such as those with neuromuscular disorders, cancer, or ICU-related fatigue. He aims to translate fatigue mechanisms into tailored rehabilitation strategies to improve quality of life. His work spans extreme endurance, hypoxia, and locomotor biomechanics.
Analysis of his recent publications reveals a strong focus on endurance performance, ultra-running, trail running, and the application of elite sport research to public health. His work integrates biomechanics, physiology, and clinical outcomes, with recurring themes of fatigue assessment, performance optimization, and cross-disciplinary translation. He frequently publishes in high-impact sports medicine journals such as Sports Medicine, Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, and European Journal of Applied Physiology.

Guillaume Millet has supervised 37 postdoctoral fellows and PhD students from 13 countries and served as an external reviewer for over 60 PhD candidates. His research is supported by major grants including the IDEXLYON fellowship, enabling interdisciplinary work on fatigue and physical activity. He actively collaborates across institutions and disciplines, particularly in exercise oncology and rehabilitation science.
He leads the ActiFS academic chair and previously directed the Neuromuscular Fatigue Lab at the University of Calgary. His teams integrate researchers, clinicians, and trainees focusing on fatigue mechanisms, human movement, and clinical applications. The inter-university Laboratory of Human Movement Biology fosters collaboration across Saint-Étienne, Lyon, and Chambéry.
