Carré):
- impact of early or late beginning of regular physical practice (before 40 or after 50 yrs old) on heart characteristics in seniors (resting and exercise echocardiographic data, resting ECG and resting HRV data)
- vaso-vagal syncope in bradycardial and non bradycardial athletes, using tilt-test (resting HRV and arterial pressure data, in decubitus and during tilt test, resting echocardiographic recording, cardiorespiratory exercise measurements, holter 24H)
- cardiac fatigue during long cycling races (resting ECG and HRV measurements), after intensive training in naval commandos (resting ECG and echocardiographic measurements) and in moderately trained Officer Candidates of Saint-Cyr Coëtquidan School (resting ECG and echocardiographic measurements, resting HRV data)

- 2009-2012 : Head manager of a Work Package in a AAL European project, PAMAP (Physical Activity Monitoring for Ageing People): this project aimed to develop a prototype for recording and controlling physical activity at home or in a rehabilitation center, in healthy elderly or people with cardiovascular disease or functional limitation (useful in regards to telemedicine). Our participation was to evolve the Internet platform of electronic health record of each individual, to propose models contents for muscle strengthening sessions for people testing the prototype, and lastly to test the prototype during a clinical trial developed at CIC-IT Inserm 1414.
- 2010-2013: Consulting and data recording in the EMS-dialysis multicenter research project on the effects of exercise training by electrostimulation during dialysis sessions in a population with chronic renal failure (Dr E. Laruelle).
- 2011-2015: Data collection and processing for the European survey of cardiac safety for fitness centers (investigation of the European Association of Cardiovacular Prevention & Rehabilitation).
