AboutAbout the lab

It also conducts survey research on the relationship between university students' mental health or depressive states and their lifestyle habits, and on the mental health and exercise of women who are raising young children.
Lecturer Shigemi Takayanagi belongs to the Campus Life and Health Support Center and is in charge of the master's program in the Health and Sport Sciences Course at the Graduate School of Human-Environment Studies.
