L-ViS

The Laboratory of Vulnerabilities and Innovation in Sport (L-ViS ) gathers 30 researchers, 1 ATER, 2 postdocs, 30 PhD students, and about 26 associate researchers who conduct research projects on sports phenomena from a social sciences lens (sociology, psychology, history, management).

This multidisciplinary approach aims to better understand vulnerabilities induced by sports participation and physical activity (accidents, athletes and coaches’ burn out, discriminations, doping, etc.), and the ways sports and physical activities can help reducing individual (e.g. chronic diseases, disability, ageing, health promotion, etc.) and organisational vulnerabilities.

Sport is also the place of various innovations (technology, materials, social, participation and service) that are studied in our research centre, and particularly in link with their capacity to reduce vulnerabilities.
