About Us
We are studying the adaptation of the exercise and training to body from genetic and environmental perspectives
Within the field of health and sports science, we are specialize in exercise physiology and muscle physiology. In this context, we are conducting research on how the body changes through exercise and training. Currently, in collaboration with other universities and companies, we are pursuing the following research themes.
-
Clarifying the mechanisms of muscle hypertrophy, muscle damage, and muscle atrophy induced by exercise and training
-
Physiological characteristics of children during their growth and development and programming of the exercise
-
Physiological characteristics of cancer patients and survivors and development of exercise programs
-
Physiological characteristics of the elderly and development of exercise programs (Kesennuma-city, Rikuzentakata-city)
-
Changes in bone metabolism and cardiovascular response to exercise and training
-
Investigation of supplements and nutrition for prevention of muscle pain and muscle hypertrophy
The obtained findingswill be utilized for health promotion and prevention of sarcopenia and frailty in the general public, the elderly, and cancer patients with or without exercise habits, as well as for athletes to improve their competitive performance and strength conditioning.
