    Research Interests

    A research programme focusing on paediatrics and obesity:

    • AXIS 1: Chronoexercise as an innovative parameter for the prevention of paediatric obesity.
      • OBJECTIVE 1: Identify the optimal time for acute exercise to achieve a negative energy balance.
      • OBJECTIVE 2: To document whether the best timing of acute exercise performed chronically produces a greater negative energy balance.
         
    • AXIS 2: Interactions between lifestyle habits as a new FITT factor for the prevention of juvenile obesity.
      • OBJECTIVE 1: Identify the best scenario for changing diet in order to improve physical activity and body weight regulation.
      • OBJECTIVE 2: To reveal the best scenario for reducing sedentary behaviour, increasing PA levels and controlling body weight.
         
    • AXIS 3: Validation of the updated FITT+ recommendations.
      • OBJECTIVE 1: To quantify the contribution of the enhanced FITT+ components associated with lifestyle habits and weight control.

    In parallel, we are also working on studying the chemosensory (taste/smell) and visual response in an EXiNU context (Exercise-Nutrition Interaction). Finally, the intuitive aspect of adopting healthy lifestyle habits (physical activity and nutrition) is being promoted in the Écoute ton corps, il te parle! project.

    Research Topics

    • Physical activity
    • Exercise physiology
    • Obesity
    • Youth
    • Cardiovascular health
    • Lifestyle habits, including nutrition.
