Koji Kaneoka, Professor
0 student voices
The Kaneoka Lab clarifies how the human body functions from the standpoint of sports orthopedics. It investigates how low back pain, spinal disorders, and sports injuries occur. The lab uses electromyography to capture the activity of deep muscles in the body and explores the mechanisms that stabilize joints. It applies its findings to injury prevention, rehabilitation, and improving athletic performance and quality of life.
Yasuo Kawakami, Professor
0 student voices
Kawakami Lab (Biodynamics Lab) studies the mechanisms of how the body moves. Drawing on biomechanics and exercise physiology, the lab examines the form and function of muscles and tendons. It also investigates how the body changes with growth, training, and aging. It applies this knowledge to developing ways to improve athletic performance, promote health, and support the healthy development of children.
Tsukasa Kumai, Professor
0 student voices
Kumai Lab (Musculoskeletal Sports Functional Anatomy Lab) studies the mechanisms of the organs that move the body. To understand abnormalities of the musculoskeletal system, it is essential first to know how the body works normally. Using diverse methods such as ultrasound imaging, electromyography, and microscopy, the lab investigates the causes of pain and injury. From this, it aims to prevent injuries in athletes and to make proposals that identify disease conditions and lead to treatment.
Susumu Sawada, Professor
0 student voices
Sawada Lab (Sports Epidemiology Lab) addresses issues in populations of people involved in sport. Epidemiology is a practical discipline that infers causes and effects through scientific comparison and finds ways to improve problems. The lab has compared people with high and low fitness, and people who are and are not physically active, to examine their relationships with health and longevity. Recently, it has also taken on questions about how watching sports and the Olympics relate to people's happiness.
Katsuhiko Suzuki, Professor
0 student voices
The Suzuki Lab studies preventive medicine, which aims to prevent the onset and worsening of disease by removing its causes. Using exercise and training as models, the lab examines how the body responds and adapts to stress. Using white blood cells and cytokines as clues, the lab develops methods to measure immune function and the development of inflammation. The lab also tests whether antioxidants and functional foods can suppress reactive oxygen species and inflammation.
Yudai Takarada, Professor
0 student voices
The Takarada Lab studies how the brain and nerves work when a person produces force. The lab investigates how far the brain's activity can change the maximum muscle force a person can exert voluntarily. It uses muscle contractions with blood flow restricted in the arms or legs, shouts, and words presented without the person's awareness as clues. Using methods such as transcranial magnetic stimulation, the lab measures the state of the brain while force is produced.
Motoko Taguchi, Professor
0 student voices
Through research in sports nutrition, the Taguchi Lab clarifies how athletes should eat. The lab studies human participants, examining energy metabolism and energy balance, body composition, and nutrient intake. It builds up evidence using both cross-sectional comparisons and long-term follow-up. The lab aims to turn its findings into forms that can be used in competitive settings.
Jun Tsuchiya, Professor
0 student voices
The Tsuchiya Lab studies how movements in sport work, from the standpoint of sport movement science. Focusing on gymnastics skills, the lab measures the movements of different parts of the body and investigates how rotation and takeoff are generated. The lab applies what it learns to ways of coaching athletes to acquire skills.
Suguru Torii, Professor
0 student voices
The Torii Lab is a lab for musculoskeletal sports medicine. The musculoskeletal system refers to the organs involved in movement, including muscles, tendons, bones, cartilage, ligaments, and nerves. In the lab's exercises, students learn the basic structure of each part of the musculoskeletal system, knowledge of typical sports injuries (acute trauma and overuse injuries), and how to assess them. The lab also measures bone density in growing children and athletes, and conducts medical checks for teams.
Yoshio Nakamura, Professor
0 student voices
The Nakamura Lab studies exercise and sport for promoting health. The lab also covers how to exercise to keep the body mobile into old age, and how to coach it. Management and marketing for delivering exercise and sport services to the people who need them are also subjects of the lab's research.
