For example, in a tennis coaching scene, if you can show the relationship between the opponent's movement and prediction, you can catch up with the ball as quickly as one second or one step, and you will be able to gain an advantage in the game. In order for Japanese athletes who are physically disadvantaged to take the lead in the world of sports, it is essential to gain an advantage in cognitive skills such as predictive judgment.

Specialized field Anatomy Medical Education
Main Research Topics ①Analysis of various movements using biarticular muscles, product development, and educational research and development 2. Research into reproduction, sexual differentiation and comparative anatomy 3) Research related to sports in general
Seminar Introduction Basic science fields such as anatomy are often considered to be dull. However, it is said that choosing basic science such as anatomy in a seminar will give you the ability to scientifically respond to a wide range of fields. The theme of this laboratory is mainly motion analysis focusing on anatomical visualization of the function and load of biarticular muscles, and product development and education and research using them. We can also respond to research on reproduction, sexual differentiation, and comparative anatomy. However, I think that the most important thing is to investigate the background and discover problems for the given theme or theme that interests you, even during the applied exercise period. Furthermore, I think that the aim is to satisfy intellectual curiosity by carrying out efficient means with one's own power in a given environment and verifying and considering the results, and to contribute to society and move the world forward. Let's do our best together.
Specialized field Athletic training, educational technology
Main Research Topics Research into improving competitive ability, creating a safe competitive environment, and building a better learning environment
Seminar Introduction I believe that the role of seminars is to deepen knowledge using specialized fields as material, but to study and master a certain field in a specialized way, one must first acquire the ability to think. And I believe that being able to think well begins with having an interest in many things. For that reason, in my seminar, we aim to broaden the breadth and depth of interests and develop your ability to think by reading, writing, summarizing, and discussing various things related to sports and things that interest you. The ability to think should be a lifelong treasure. We are looking forward to students who want to know the fun of learning, not just those who aim to become athletic trainers.
