The aim of the project is to provide tools and methods in order to improve and to monitor top elite swimmers of the French team for the 2024 Paris Olympics and Paralympics games. The current post-doc or research engineer position concerns mainly Work Package n°3 of the project, which investigates how stroke rate and speed influence motor coordination and energetic cost.
Description
The two laboratories (UR) CETAPS (location Rouen, Haute-Normandie, France) and APERE lab (location Amiens, Hauts de France, France), are in charge of dealing with the scientific issues related to the behavioral patterns transition in swimming, and more specifically:
- To the effects of swimming speed and swimming style on the swimmer’s coordination in terms of stroke frequency and stroke length management during the stroke cycle (biomechanics of swimming)
- To the relationships between the different combinations of stroke frequency and stroke length and the contribution of aerobic and anaerobic metabolisms to the swimmer’s energy expenditure (exercise physiology applied to swimming)
The post-doc will spend part time at Amiens and part time at Rouen, knowing that 75min separate the 2 locations. Arrangements can be discussed to organise works between those two locations
