Laboratoire MIP Nantes Université

Laboratoire MIP Nantes Université

The centre’s mission is to better understand how movement is generated and organised at multiple levels—from muscle systems to whole-body actions. We focus on three core themes: 1) the physiological and biomechanical basis of motion; 2) the interaction between humans and their environment; 3) applications for performance in sport and health.

The Laboratory MIP Nantes Université fosters multidisciplinary collaboration. We bring experts together from sport sciences (STAPS), biomechanics, physiology and psychology. This broad stance allows us to generate novel insights.

Areas of Expertise

• Physiology of muscle and movement

• Biomechanics of human motion

• Psychological interactions in performance contexts

• Applied optimisation of movement in sport and health

We deliver tailored research and training that address real-world problems. For example, we study how athletes optimise force production, how the nervous system adapts to training, and how human interaction with machines or environments affects safety and performance. UR 4334 – Motricité Lab+1

Facilities & Collaboration

The Laboratory MIP Nantes Université hosts platforms for experimental measurement, biomechanical analysis and data modelling. We partner with international universities and industry to translate research into practice. Our “Entreprise” space encourages innovation and applied outcomes. UR 4334 – Motricité Lab
