Nounagnon F. Agbangla

Thèmes de recherche

Mon activité de recherche se focalise sur les mécanismes neurophysiologiques sous-jacents des effets de l’exercice physique sur les fonctions exécutives chez les seniors et les jeunes adultes. Je m’intéresse particulièrement à l’hypothèse cardiorespiratoire. Mes travaux ont examiné la relation entre la réponse hémodynamique cérébrale, mesurée par la Spectroscopie Proche de l’Infrarouge (SPIR), et les performances exécutives des seniors et des jeunes adultes en fonction de la condition physique cardiorespiratoire.
