MASTERCLASS 2

Description

Top-level athletes are often subject to lab studies to reveal the secrets of their exceptional performances. Physiological parameters, such as oxygen consumption, are key in analyzing performances, but aren't measurable during competitions. Amandine Aftalion is dedicating part of her research to building and solving systems of differential equations to model sports performances, and can estimate non measurable variables. What can we now understand thanks to Amandine Aftalion's research, and with what data? How does she envision the future of her research and their possible implementation within sports events? Can technological breakthroughs in data capture allow her to go further in performance analysis?
