Maeda Lab

The lab studies how exercise affects blood vessels and internal organs.
AboutAbout the lab
How does exercise change blood vessels?
The Maeda Lab studies the changes that exercise causes inside the body, from the standpoint of physiology.
In particular, it examines how exercise changes arterial stiffness and the function of the inner lining of blood vessels.
The relationship between exercise and the function of the kidneys and heart is also a research theme.
The lab aims to connect its findings to ways of exercising that prevent disease and maintain health.
Key terms
- Arterial stiffness
- The stiffness of the arterial wall. The stiffer it becomes, the greater the burden on the heart and blood vessels
- Vascular endothelium
- The layer of cells lining the inside of blood vessels. It regulates how easily vessels dilate
- Sedentary behavior
- Time spent sitting or lying down with almost no body movement
ResearchResearch themes
The lab uses physiological methods to investigate how exercise affects the function of blood vessels and internal organs. Using arterial stiffness, kidney function, and the effects of prolonged sitting as clues, it considers what kind of exercise helps maintain health.
*Illustrative imageExercise and Arterial Stiffness
The lab investigates how exercise changes arterial stiffness and the function of the cells lining the inside of blood vessels, exploring how to exercise to prevent arteriosclerosis.
*Illustrative imageExercise and Kidney Function
The lab investigates the changes that high-intensity endurance training causes in the kidneys, and the effects of exercise for people with reduced kidney function.
*Illustrative imageProlonged Sitting and the Heart and Kidneys
Focusing on the effect of a lifestyle of sitting for long periods on the link between the heart and kidneys, the lab examines measures to prevent it.
