Research Focus

Prof. Ridha Aouadi’s research primarily centers on sports science, with a strong focus on exercise physiology, biomechanics, plyometric training, and physical performance enhancement in youth and elite athletes. His studies frequently examine the impact of in-season training regimens—such as plyometric, agility, and sprint exercises—on neuromuscular performance, particularly among adolescent handball, soccer, and basketball players. Additionally, his work explores cognitive-motor relationships, reaction time, and fatigue resistance, highlighting the link between physical activity and cognitive functioning. He has also contributed to understanding anthropometric predictors of athletic performance and how environmental factors (e.g., playing surface, training load) influence physiological outcomes. His research spans applied interventions, such as the FIFA 11+ program, and their measurable impact on injury prevention and functional fitness. Beyond performance optimization, he has investigated the biological effects of natural supplements and exercise on metabolism and health markers, demonstrating his integrated approach to sports health and human physiology
