"Inter-Limb Coordination in Swimming"

Dr. Seifert is assistant professor at the Faculty of Sport Sciences at the University of Rouen in France since 2004. His main topic of research concerns motor control, motor learning and biomechanics in complex skills. His Ph.D. completed in 2003 focussed on the “Flexibility and stability in front crawl coordination: biomechanical and dynamical approach”. He has published numerous peer-reviewed scientific papers and has authored of five book chapters on inter-limb coordination in swimming in relationships to interacting constraints, such as organismic, task and environmental constraints.

"Muscle fatigue in swimming"

Dr. Rouard is a full professor in sport sciences with a specialty in biomechanics at the University of Savoie in France. She teaches sports biomechanics, general theories and application on sport equipment. Her research for 28 years, worked on biomechanics approaches of fatigue and coordination specially in swimming and cross country skiing with national teams (Italy, France, USA) and with sport industry (Arena, Salomon). The fatigue is evaluated from EMG, kinematics and kinetics parameters. She has 26 international publications, 55 international congresses and 2 book chapters.

"The psycho-physiology of overtraining in swimming"

Dr. Lemyre works as an Associate Professor and Head of Department of Coaching and Psychology at the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences in Oslo. His research work has been focused on the motivational processes in sport participants and how they are differentially related to adaptive and maladaptive sport participation outcomes. At the present time, he is involved in research and intervention projects aimed at better understanding and preventing underperformance syndrome and burnout in elite athletes. He is a past recipient of the Young Investigator’s Award of the European College of Sport Sciences, as well as the Dissertation Award of the Association of Applied Sport Psychology. He is currently associate editor of the International Journal of Sport Psychology.
