Masaki Nishida, Professor
0 student voices
The Nishida Lab studies how exercise, the brain, and the mind work, from the perspective of sleep and biological rhythms. It examines how the way athletes sleep relates to their performance in competition and their physical condition. Athletes' mental health and well-being are also one of the lab's research themes. The effects of sleep environments, such as naps and bedding, are tested by simultaneously measuring EEG, core body temperature, and heart rate variability.
Naoyuki Hayashi, Professor
0 student voices
The Hayashi Lab studies how the body responds to exercise, eating, and sensory stimulation, from the perspective of blood flow and the autonomic nerves. It measures flow in hard-to-capture sites, such as blood flow at the back of the eye, in the brain, and in the face. It investigates how the blood flow that supports vision is maintained during exercise and mental tasks. It also covers changes in facial blood flow in response to taste and emotion, and the effect of thorough chewing on metabolism after a meal.
Seiji Maeda, Professor
0 student voices
The Maeda Lab studies the changes that exercise causes inside the body, from the standpoint of physiology. In particular, it examines how exercise changes arterial stiffness and the function of the inner lining of blood vessels. The relationship between exercise and the function of the kidneys and heart is also a research theme. The lab aims to connect its findings to ways of exercising that prevent disease and maintain health.
Hiroaki Masaki, Professor
0 student voices
Masaki Lab is a lab for sport psychology, psychophysiology, and cognitive neuroscience. The lab studies athletes' refined movements and their mental functions. Its strength is that, beyond behavioral measures and questionnaire surveys, it can measure brain activity with EEG and functional MRI. The lab also studies ways to prevent choking under pressure (agari) and the effects of exercise on brain function.
Masashi Miyashita, Professor
0 student voices
Miyashita Lab studies how exercise and diet affect energy metabolism. The lab measures how blood lipids and glucose change after a meal and examines differences due to exercise and eating patterns. The lab also covers appetite-regulating hormones and the effects of chewing on how energy is used. Another research theme is the relationship between daily physical activity and fitness and health, from children to adults.
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.
