Nobuhiro Nakamura Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that investigates how blood pressure and blood vessels respond during exercise.
AboutAbout the lab
How does blood pressure change when you exercise?
The Nakamura Lab studies exercise physiology, particularly the regulation of circulation during exercise.
It deals with the rise in blood pressure that occurs when muscles are activated, and the mechanisms that work to keep blood pressure stable.
The lab also investigates how training changes the stiffness of blood vessels.
Through measurements in human participants, it aims to clarify the relationship between exercise and cardiovascular health.
Key terms
- Exercise pressor reflex
- A response in which signals from working muscles raise blood pressure and heart rate
- Arterial baroreceptors
- Sensors located in blood vessels that detect changes in blood pressure and take part in its regulation
- Arteriosclerosis
- A condition in which blood vessels become stiff and lose their flexibility
NewsLab news
A joint study in which Lecturer Nakamura participated reports that brain volume can be estimated from head composition measured by DXA
Lecturer Nakamura and colleagues published in Scientific Reports that the exercise pressor reflex remains in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
A joint study in which Lecturer Nakamura participated reports that loss of muscle mass can be estimated from changes in calf circumference
A joint study in which Lecturer Nakamura participated reports on the relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and the genetic risk of hypertriglyceridemia and obesity
ResearchResearch themes
The lab investigates how blood pressure and heart rate change during exercise, focusing on the mechanisms of neural regulation. The effects of training on the properties of blood vessels are also a subject of study.
*Illustrative imageDaily Rhythms and Blood Pressure
"Social jet lag," in which sleep and wake times differ between weekdays and weekends, places a burden on the body. The lab investigates how this kind of disruption of daily rhythms affects the rise in blood pressure in the early morning.
*Illustrative imageMental State and Brain Activity
How is a tendency toward mindfulness, paying attention to the present moment, linked to mental health? The lab examines whether brain activity at rest mediates this link, and measures cerebral blood flow while people watch a game.
