معرفی
Jean-Benoit Morin is a Full Professor in the Department of Sport Sciences and Physical Education at Université Jean Monnet, Saint-Étienne, France, where he also serves as Head of Department. He is a researcher at the Interuniversity Laboratory of Human Movement Science (LIBM), an Associate Researcher at Auckland University of Technology, and a Visiting Professor at Loughborough University, UK.
- Nationality: French
- PhD in Human Motor Function (2004), University of Saint-Étienne & University of Udine
- Research Director Degree (2011), University of Saint-Étienne
- MSc in Sports and Training Science (2001), University of Saint-Étienne
His research focuses on biomechanics of human locomotion and sports performance, particularly sprint mechanics, force-velocity profiling, fatigue, and injury prevention. He has developed and validated innovative methods for field-based performance assessment and training optimization. His work bridges biomechanics, physiology, and practical coaching applications, with strong emphasis on horizontal force production, neuromuscular fatigue, and individualized training.
His recent publications highlight trends in force-velocity profiling, wearable technology validation, hamstring injury mechanisms, running biomechanics under fatigue, and advanced footwear effects. These works span elite sprinting, team sports, trail running, and rehabilitation contexts, often involving international collaborations and field-based data collection.
He has received several scientific awards, including:
- Master International Strength and Conditioning Practitioner (IUSCA, 2024)
- European Athletics Innovation Award (2012)
- Excellence in Science Award, University of Nice Sophia Antipolis (2015)
- French Football Federation Innovation Award – Performance Category (2018)
Morin has supervised numerous PhD students and is actively involved in scientific advising, editorial work, and peer review. He serves as Associate Editor for Frontiers in Physiology and Journal of Sports Sciences, and has reviewed for over 40 journals. He is also an external reviewer for PhD theses and research institutions across Europe and North America. His applied work includes scientific advice to high-level sports structures and federations.
He leads research within the LIBM laboratory, collaborates with elite sports teams and institutions, and contributes to the Football Science Institute through online education. His team investigates mechanical determinants of performance and fatigue across various sports and populations.
