About the conference
What makes Usain Bolt run so fast? Why can't humans jump very high compared to other animals? How can training be optimized to improve performance? With the Olympic Games in Paris just around the corner, athletic performance has never been more of a focus in France, particularly understanding what limits it. These performances are the result of interactions between the laws of physics that affect us all and the physiological principles that govern how our bodies work. Biomechanics allows us to better understand the good and bad relationships between these two constraints applied to each of our movements. Altius, Citius, Fortius: what limits human performance? Convergence between physics and physiology...
