In this episode of "Va Savoir", the CNRS series that takes you to the heart of its laboratories, Maxime Labat introduces you to the sport-related research of the Institut des sciences du mouvement (AMU/CNRS).
With the Paris 2024 Olympic Games fast approaching, athletes around the world are taking advantage of their final weeks of training to claw back a few more millimeters or hundredths of a second. But in this all-out war for records, where every move is optimized, one ally is becoming increasingly precious: science! Ultra-pushed analyses, cutting-edge equipment, virtual reality environments... We take you to the Institut des Sciences du Mouvement, in Marseille, to find out how science comes to the rescue of the greatest athletes... and the most casual sportsmen and women.
