The conference “Physical Activity and Health: What If It All Depended on the Perception of Effort?”, presented by Florian Monjo, a faculty member and researcher at the Interuniversity Laboratory of Motor Biology (LIBM) – Faculty of Sciences and Mountain Studies (SceM), will take place on Friday, March 19, 2027, at 8:00 p.m. at the Fabrice Melquiot Community Hall, Place de l’Europe, 73500 Modane.
About the conference
Engaging in regular physical activity is essential for good health. Despite growing public awareness, many people give up due to persistent obstacles: fatigue, lack of time, competing priorities… Yet the scientific evidence is clear: physical activity is a powerful driver of good health, while a sedentary lifestyle is a major risk factor.
The obstacle is not just motivation, but the neuropsychological perception of effort, which is often experienced as too taxing. Neuromodulation techniques are being explored to reduce this negative perception, make exercise more enjoyable, and promote long-term commitment.
