Isabelle Rogowski

Isabelle Rogowski is a Lecturer at Claude Bernard University (Lyon 1), specializing in Sports Biomechanics and Physiology. She leads the joint iCAP (Innovation, Design and Support for Pedagogy) service since 2016 and has held leadership roles such as head of the Sports Training department (2008-2013) and member of UCBL's Board of Directors (2016-2020). Her research focuses on athlete performance optimization and injury prevention through biomechanical and physiological analysis.

• PhD in Sports Sciences (1999), focusing on "Man - Equipment - Environment" systems in board sports
• Habilitation to Direct Research (2019)

Her research is structured around three axes: (1) Understanding sports performance through upper limb adaptation mechanisms, (2) Assessing injury risks via biomechanical maladaptations, and (3) Developing evidence-based training and prevention programs. Key contributions include functional tests for post-surgery recovery and motor imagery integration in physical preparation.

Research collaborations span academic institutions, sports organizations, and health stakeholders. Funded by prestigious bodies like the National Research Agency and Auvergne Rhône-Alpes Region, her work bridges sports science with practical applications in tennis, judo, rugby, and swimming.

Notable publications include studies on scapular kinematics in tennis serves, myofascial release effects, and motor imagery applications. Her research emphasizes shoulder mechanics, injury prevention, and training efficiency.
