Fujita Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that analyzes movement in sport through mechanics and applies the findings to coaching.
AboutAbout the lab
Gliding, jumping: measuring the movement.
The Fujita Lab specializes in coaching science and scientifically analyzes movements in sport.
It has studied movement in gliding sports such as cross-country skiing and speed skating.
It also conducts research on force production during gliding, using equipment with built-in force sensors.
It aims to apply what it learns from measurement to coaching in sport.
Key terms
- Coaching science
- A field that investigates and builds ways of coaching in sport using scientific methods.
- Biomechanics
- The discipline that measures and explains body movement using the concepts of mechanics.
- Motion analysis
- Recording the movements of body parts with cameras or sensors and examining them numerically.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab analyzes movement in sport using biomechanics to identify the factors that determine performance. Focusing mainly on gliding sports, it examines the relationship between force production and movement.
*Illustrative imageExplaining skill movements through mechanics
Skills such as the round-off in gymnastics and the smash in badminton arise from the smooth sequencing of movements of each body part. The lab measures where rotational momentum is generated and how movement is linked through the upper body, and applies the results to coaching.
*Illustrative imageMeasurement that supports cross-country skiing
In cross-country skiing, where athletes glide long distances over snow, efficient technique and fitness decide the outcome. To support athletes' training, the lab studies methods for measuring movement and physical strain during skiing.
