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.
Raki Kawama, Lecturer
0 student voices
The Kawama Lab specializes in training science and biomechanics. The lab investigates how muscles change through strength training. It measures mechanical characteristics of muscle, such as stiffness, shape, and force-producing properties. The lab is also conducting research on muscles such as the hamstrings, which are prone to strains.
Hayato Tsukamoto, Lecturer
0 student voices
The Tsukamoto Lab specializes in exercise physiology and nutritional physiology. The lab investigates how exercise and nutrition affect blood flow, metabolism, and cognitive function in the brain. It measures how the body and brain respond in human participants when the intensity or type of exercise, or what they consume, is changed. The lab explores what kinds of exercise and diet help keep the brain functioning well.
Nobuhiro Nakamura, Lecturer
0 student voices
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.
Toshihiro Maemichi, Lecturer
0 student voices
The Maemichi Lab specializes in sports medicine and athletic training. Focusing on the foot and ankle, the lab uses ultrasound images to examine the shape and function of tissues. It studies the mechanisms of the parts that contact the ground, such as the fat tissue beneath the heel and the movement of the ankle. The lab aims to put its findings to use in preventing sports injuries and in rehabilitation.
Hironori Ayabe, Professor
0 student voices
The Ayabe Lab studies science and technology as a social activity from the standpoint of science and technology studies. It combines a variety of methods from the humanities and social sciences to examine the relationship between science and technology and society. So far, the lab has studied the Cold War science and technology system from a historical perspective, and the frameworks for understanding science, technology, and society themselves from a theoretical perspective. Recently, it has also been paying attention to trends related to communication.
