Hirose Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies injury prevention through coordination within the body and connections between people.
AboutAbout the lab
Seeing connections to prevent injury.
The Hirose Lab conducts research on athletic training.
It draws on how body parts coordinate with each other and how people interact and move together.
It examines how the movement and interactions of injured athletes change, with the aim of preventing reinjury.
Using an interdisciplinary approach focused on connections within the body and between people, the lab targets not only athletes but also children and all members of society.
Key terms
- Athletic training
- A field covering the prevention of sports injuries, first aid, and support through return to play
- Coordination
- Here, the way body parts, or people, adjust to one another as they move
- Hamstrings
- A group of muscles on the back of the thigh, where strains occur easily
NewsLab news

ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies injury prevention and conditioning from two perspectives: coordination within the body and coordination between people. It emphasizes turning its findings into forms that can be used in the field.
*Illustrative imageAnalysis of coordinated movement within the body
Focusing on how body parts work together, the lab analyzes how the movements of athletes returning from injury change. It aims to clarify the effects on reinjury prevention and on how the body is used.
*Illustrative imageAnalysis of connections between people
The lab visualizes connections between people in sports and children's play, and analyzes the interrelationships among individuals, groups, and larger collectives. The results are applied to education and welfare programs, injury prevention, and performance support.
*Illustrative imageIncline Nordic Hamstring Exercise
To prevent hamstring strains, the lab tests the effectiveness of an exercise that uses an inclined platform with an adjustable angle. It aims to make it possible to perform the exercise at shallower knee angles, which conventional methods cannot reach.
*Illustrative imageDevelopment of conditioning equipment and programs
To deliver effective conditioning to society, the lab develops equipment and programs jointly with companies. It academically verifies their validity and reliability.
