Research on a topic of your choice from a wide range of sports-related fields
In the seminar, which is compulsory for the 3rd year, students choose from various sports-related fields such as practical teaching methods for sports, training methods for improving health, sports management, nutrition management for athletes, and athletic training. Students choose the theme they want to study and learn more deeply.
Specialized field Clinical exercise physiology, healthcare
ゼミ紹介 上記の研究テーマのほかに、地域やキャンパスで歩く人を増やす国際プロジェクト（EIM on Campus）や、歩くこと（散歩）と主観的幸福度（ウェルビーイング）の関係メカニズムの解明なども行っています。健康運動指導士をめざしている人や地域で働くこと（公務員）に興味がある人に向いているゼミです。
Specialized field Physical education principle, basketball
Main research contents Sports philosophy, sports ethics, basketball coaching, referees, technical theory
Seminar introduction Students learn about "teamwork" and "fair play" in sports. Modern sports have a strong victorious aspect, and there are cases where problems arise regarding the relationship with the rules of the game and the relationships with the people around them. The purpose of these studies is to utilize them in activities within companies, organizations, and circles in daily life. Also, since I am teaching the basketball club of our university, I am thinking of giving advice to students who are interested in the teaching method, technical theory, refereeing method, etc. of this sport.
Specialized field Athletic training, rehabilitation
Main research contents Elucidation of the causes of injuries in sports and examination of injury prevention methods
Seminar Introduction This course deepens the knowledge of injuries necessary for athletic trainers and teaches how to identify the physical causes of injuries. It also teaches how to measure physical fitness and acquires the knowledge and skills necessary to prescribe rehabilitation and training methods suited to the competitive characteristics of each sport, and also holds exercise classes for middle-aged and elderly people and provides training instruction. The knowledge and skills acquired will be useful in their work as student trainers, and for students who will be active as athletes, the aim is to help them understand their own bodies through self-measurements and to be able to plan their own training menus.
Main research contents Research on injury investigation, verification of training effect, conditioning, etc.
Laboratory introduction We aim to be a human resource who can support athletes when they stand in the field of sports. Targets range from athlete level to lifelong sports level. Not only as an athletic trainer, but also as a sports instructor, students learn knowledge and skills, and first aid methods through practice. Students present the contents of research papers in related fields together, and plan and manage physical fitness tests for athletes in the athletic club. We aim not only to acquire knowledge, but also to improve presentation ability, flexible response ability, and problem-solving ability.
Main research contents General research on sports, mainly on sports conditioning
Seminar introduction We aim to acquire the ability to think about sports from various perspective. Currently, sports have a large number of staff to support athletes, and various abilities are required among them. There are many areas that support sports, such as sports conditioning, athletic rehabilitation and first aid. Through this seminar, we aim that everyone who will carry the sport of the future will gain knowledge and experience. We also have high expectations for student independence, such as conducting a thorough survey of the sport in which they are interested, understanding the current situation, and thinking about how to develop it.
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.
Main Research Topics Elucidating the effects of exercise, physical activity, and food intake on physical and mental health through life and health science
Seminar Introduction In this seminar, each student will explore a topic of interest, such as health, exercise, sports, or nutrition. They will deepen their understanding through literature research, delve into their questions, conduct experiments and surveys based on hypotheses, and analyze and evaluate the results. They will hone their communication and problem-solving skills through group research and discussions. They will also value an independent spirit of inquiry and develop the ability to tackle problems from multiple perspectives.
Main research contents Predictive judgment in sports scenes: what do players see and feel?
Laboratory introduction Focusing on the behavior prediction of the confrontation type competition scene, we clarify the prediction clues used by the first-class athletes (experts). This research can be expected to contribute to coaching and top performance research. 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.
