Motohiko Miyachi, Professor
0 student voices
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.
Naokazu Miyamoto, Professor
0 student voices
The Miyamoto Lab studies the size, structure, quality, function, and use of skeletal muscles and tendons. Based on this, it develops conditioning methods that improve athletes' performance. It also works to clarify how muscle strains occur and to identify new risk factors for injury. The lab also studies how muscle and tendon characteristics differ by age, from children to middle-aged and older adults.
Toshimasa Yanai, Professor
0 student voices
The Yanai Lab studies sports movements using biomechanics methods. It measures the movements of body segments and the forces and moments acting on joints, and expresses them as numerical values. Topics have included the load on the elbow during baseball pitching and the force the hand exerts on the water in swimming. The lab aims both to improve athletic performance and to reduce injury risk.
Norikazu Hirose, Professor
0 student voices
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.
Kumpei Tanisawa, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Tanisawa Lab studies the effects of physical activity, diet, and daily rhythms on the body, and the mechanisms behind them. It combines multiple approaches: physiology and biochemistry, epidemiology, and genetics. It focuses in particular on individual differences in how the body responds to exercise and diet, and on the factors that produce those differences. It aims to develop health promotion that takes individual differences into account, as well as training and conditioning methods for athletes.
Kuniaki Hirayama, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Athletic Performance Lab is the Hirayama Lab, launched in 2018. Its purpose is to help improve athletes' performance and prevent both acute and overuse injuries. It scientifically studies problems and questions that arise in sports settings and publishes the results as academic papers. It also works to train people who can provide coaching and athlete support based on scientific evidence.
Zenya Fujita, Associate Professor
0 student voices
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.
Yuri Hosokawa, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Hosokawa Lab conducts research that integrates exercise physiology and sports medicine and science. The lab aims to optimize both the safety and the performance of athletes and workers. It focuses in particular on research into heat stress, including heat illness. The lab values a back-and-forth approach: data obtained in the laboratory are verified in the field, and phenomena observed in the field are examined in the laboratory.
Gaku Kakehata, Lecturer
0 student voices
Kakehata Lab specializes in sports neuroscience and coaching science. Focusing mainly on sprinting in track and field, the lab studies body movements and the use of muscles during running. It also pays attention to responses that occur at the level of the spinal cord, and explores the regulatory mechanisms specific to sprinters. The lab aims to apply its findings to coaching in sport.
Noriaki Maeda, Associate Professor
0 student voices
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.
