Profile
Loïs Mougin is a PhD candidate in Environmental Physiology at Loughborough University, funded by a Vice Chancellor’s Scholarship within the Sport for Climate Action and Nature research cluster. His research focuses on the interplay between nutrition, hydration, and thermoregulation in endurance athletes competing in hot environments. Loïs holds a Master’s degree in Exercise Physiology awarded by Jean Monnet University Saint-Étienne and Savoy Mont Blanc University. Loïs is a member of ACSM, ECSS, and The Physiological Society, and regularly presents his work at international conferences.
