Jeffry Roy Chauchat

Dr. Jeffry Roy Chauchat serves as Assistant Professor and Coordinator in the Department of Exercise and Sports Sciences within the Faculty of Health Sciences at Eastern Mediterranean University (EMU). His academic leadership spans curriculum development and departmental coordination in sports science education.

Education:

• PhD in Sports Sciences, Aegean University (2015-2020)
• MS in Technology, Human and Society, Joseph Fourier University (2006-2007)
• BS in Physical and Sports Activities Sciences and Techniques, Joseph Fourier University (2003-2006)

His research centers on exercise physiology with emphasis on youth soccer development, biomechanics, and metabolic responses to training. Key investigations include anthropometric correlations with athletic performance in U13 players, genetic polymorphisms affecting oxidative stress during anaerobic exercise, and rehabilitation techniques for muscle recovery. His work bridges laboratory findings with practical applications in sports training.

Scientific Recognition:

• 2021 Award for research on U13 soccer player body composition and physical fitness characteristics

Dr. Chauchat actively mentors graduate researchers, currently co-supervising a PhD candidate (Erdogan Cetintas) and recently guiding an MS thesis on plant-based supplements' acute effects on aerobic performance (Erol Ates, 2024). He contributes to national initiatives like the YOK Sports-Friendly Campus Project (2024) and has authored book chapters on aerobic power testing. His laboratory work utilizes EMU's Therapeutic Movements Laboratory and Nutrition and Diet Polyclinic Laboratory for human performance studies.
