Volodalen laboratory

Cyrille GINDRE

Cyrille is the CEO of Volodalen. He obtained a Ph.D. in sports biomechanics at the University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne, France, in 2009. He is the inventor of the concept of Motor Preferences. Today, he develops all the new concept adopted by Volodalen and trains health and sports professionals to use Motor Preferences in their practice.

Thèse : Modélisation des relations entraînements – performances – adaptations physiologiques chez des athlètes spécialistes de demi-fond court et de fond

Thibault LUSSIANA

Thibault obtained a Ph.D. in sports biomechanics at the University of Besançon, France, in 2016. He conducted the first research study based on Motor Preferences. Today, he coordinates the scientific studies carried out at Volodalen and trains health and sports professionals to use Motor Preferences in rehabilitation and sports training.

Thèse : Terrien et Aérien, concept, validation et implications

Bastiaan BREINE

Bastiaan obtained a Ph.D. in health sciences in 2015 at the Ghent University, Belgium. He has over ten years of experience in biomechanics research for international sports companies such as Mizuno, Nike, Skechers and Decathlon. For the last four years he is part of the Volodalen research team and is responsible for the coaching of endurance athletes.

Thèse : Initial foot contact patterns in shod running, relationship with speed and impact intensity.

Aurélien PATOZ

Aurélien obtained a Ph.D. in sports biomechanics at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, in 2023 and a Ph.D. in theoretical chemistry at the polytechnic school of Lausanne in 2017. He is data scientist at Volodalen and his mission involves developing algorithms to measure the running biomechanics using inertial sensors.

Thèse : Geometric integrators for nonadiabatic molecular quantum dynamics induced by the interaction with the electromagnetic field.

Thèse : Classification of spontaneous running patterns using biomechanics: from the laboratory towards the field.
