معرفی
Mathieu Berger is an Associate Professor in the Sport Sciences Department at Université Jean Monnet, Saint-Étienne, appointed in October 2023. He leads research in exercise physiology and adapted physical activities and will serve as the program director of the International Health and Performance Science (HPS) Master in 2024. His research is affiliated with the [PAF] team at the LIBM laboratory, focusing on health, performance, and sleep interactions.
- PhD in Exercise Physiology, Université de Lyon / Saint-Étienne (2018)
- Accreditation to Supervise Research (HDR), 2023
- Postdoctoral Researcher, Center for Investigation and Research in Sleep, Lausanne University Hospital (2018–2021)
- Postdoctoral Researcher, Sleep and Vigilance Center, Hôtel Dieu Paris (2022–2023)
His research centers on the role of physical activity in preventing and managing chronic conditions, particularly obstructive sleep apnea and cardiovascular risk. He investigates how interventions in physical activity, nutrition, medication, and napping impact sleep and autonomic health in high-risk populations such as shift workers and OSA patients. He also develops epidemiological models to identify early cardiovascular risk markers during sleep using polysomnography and HRV.
The analysis of his key publications reveals a strong focus on sleep-cardiovascular interactions, exercise as therapy, and long-term health outcomes. His work bridges clinical physiology with public health, emphasizing sustainable lifestyle changes and early detection. Key trends include the use of objective sleep and autonomic measures to predict future disease and the evaluation of community-based physical activity programs.
Mathieu Berger has received notable recognition for his work:
- Thesis Excellence Award, University of Saint-Etienne
- Young Investigator Award, World Sleep Society
He has secured over €760,000 in research funding and currently supervises two PhD students. His research is integrated within the [PAF] team at the LIBM, where future projects will explore the impact of sleep on sports performance. He is actively involved in mentoring and developing academic training programs, particularly through the HPS Master’s curriculum.
His laboratory affiliations include:
- [PAF] – a research team within LIBM focused on physical activity and health
- Collaborations with clinical sleep centers in Lausanne and Paris
