AboutAbout the lab
Preventing injuries and keeping the body able to move
Maeda Lab studies the prevention of sports injuries and rehabilitation.
Para sports, played by people with disabilities, are also a major subject of its research.
Women's health is also one of the lab's pillars of research.
Using tools such as ultrasound to measure the condition of the body, the lab investigates how the state of the musculoskeletal system relates to injury risk.

- Para sports
- Sports played by people with disabilities

ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies the prevention of sports injuries and the rehabilitation that follows. Taking into account Para sports and the characteristics of the female body, it approaches these questions by measuring the condition of the musculoskeletal system.
*Illustrative imageTrunk Asymmetry and Sports Injuries
Continuing to play sports that involve twisting the body, such as tennis, can produce differences between the left and right trunk muscles. The lab investigates how these differences relate to years of playing experience and to lower back injuries (lumbar spondylolysis), using the findings as clues for preventing injuries.
*Illustrative imageLanding Movements and Injury Prevention
Landing from a jump is a situation in which knee injuries easily occur. The lab measures knee angles, impact forces from the floor, and differences in landing sounds when athletes land while twisting, and explores movement patterns that prevent injuries. It also compiles records of injuries among young athletes at tournaments.
