Miyachi Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that investigates how physical activity and eating affect health.
AboutAbout the lab
Moving and eating: measuring how the two interact.
Miyachi Lab studies the interaction between physical activity and diet in relation to health.
The lab uses both physiological measurements in the laboratory and epidemiological methods that study large numbers of people.
The lab covers exercise and dietary approaches to prevent aging of skeletal muscle, and the role of gut bacteria in health and disease.
The lab also incorporates wearable devices and genetic analysis to explore exercise and dietary approaches tailored to each individual.
Key terms
- Physical activity
- All movement of the body in daily life, such as walking and doing housework. Exercise is one part of it
- Epidemiology
- A method that uses statistics to study the relationship between lifestyle habits and disease or death in large populations
- Gut bacteria
- The diverse community of bacteria living in the intestines, which is involved in digestion and immunity
