Through psychological research on exercise and sport, the lab works toward a more mature inclusive society through para sport. Since April 2025, it has focused on the dual nature of para-athletes' bodies and has been examining how explicit and implicit attitudes develop through interaction with the environment.
Self-Transformation of People with Acquired Physical Disabilities
The lab studies the process by which people who have lost physical function or a body part through an accident or illness change themselves through exercise and sport, as well as how to provide psychological support.
Psychological Support for Para-Athletes
As the need for psychological support grows, the lab works with para-athletes, combining quantitative and qualitative approaches in both support practice in the field and research.
Sport Careers of Para-Athletes
The lab studies the psychological and social challenges that arise at each career stage, such as acquiring an athlete identity in the early stage of a sport career and multifaceted self-growth in the middle stage and beyond, along with strategies to support athletes.
The Merits and Demerits of Elite Para Sport
The lab clarifies the merits and demerits of elite para sport from the perspectives of three groups: people without disabilities, people with disabilities who do not play sport, and para-athletes. It aims to establish psychological and social support strategies for resolving the problems identified.
