Ishii Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that uses surveys to study "sitting too much" and physical activity among children and working adults.
AboutAbout the lab
Confirming excessive sitting and physical activity with data.
The Ishii Lab studies the physical activity and sedentary behavior of children and working adults based on surveys.
It examines, through long-term follow-up, how sitting too much affects mental and physical health as well as academic performance.
The lab focuses on the balance among time spent moving, sitting, and sleeping within the 24 hours of a day.
Its findings are applied to how health education and health promotion are carried out.
