Frédéric Meyer | Evolution of muscular stiffness during a marathon

At the occasion of the launch of our the PhysiRun Lab that took place at the Centre Sport et Santé de Lausanne on November 1st, 2018, Frédéric Meyer (Researcher – Sport Science Institute – Lausanne University) made a very interesting presentation on the evolution of  muscular stiffness during the Geneva marathon 2017. Within the frame of this study, 15 runners were equipped with our shoe-worn inertial sensors (Physilog®).
