Assessment of cognitive performance and fatigability in elite athletes: Short and portable protocols for field monitoring under hypoxia
Purpose This study aimed to evaluate whether short (~15 min) cognitive protocols can detect fatigability in normoxia versus normobaric hypoxia in elite youth athletes, using tasks directly transferabl...

🚨NEW! This work concludes the project we did with the Canadian team of short track to understand and improve sleep after long haul travels. In particular, for their world championships in Asia last year (~13 time zones crossed). Available at: doi.org/10.14814/phy...

🚨 New, OA in JOSR!🎄🎅 Very happy to share this one, done in collaboration with the ice hockey team of the Remparts de Quebec. Probably one of the best and most fun in-the-field study I've done so far, with plenty of potential practical applications. 👇 doi.org/10.1111/jsr....

Since I was a student, preprint is a very discussed topic in open science, and I had the opportunity to discuss it in several steps of my academic journey. After reading this, I wanted to share some thoughts 1/12 scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2025/04/17/g...

Guest Post:  Preprints Serve the Anti-science Agenda – This Is Why We Need Peer Review - The Scholarly Kitchen
Science is built on a foundation of rigor and credibility. Preprints are adding to the crumbling of that foundation, which is already under attack by anti-science political agendas.
