M.S. in Health and Physical Education (University of Tsukuba)

Educational Contents

Undergraduate Course: Aquatic Sports, Practice of Health and Sports Science

Graduate Course: Biomechanics of Human Movement

Research Interests

My area of research is biomechanics of human movement, especially in aquatic sport. The main goal of sport biomechanics is to understand the cause-effect mechanisms that make some techniques better than others. The main tool in my research is motion analysis, in which the three-dimensional location of a number of anatomical points are obtain through video during a human movement,

• Analysis of the sculling movement in competitive swimming and synchronized swimming.
• Estimation of the exercise intensity during the movement in water.

Message for Students

I welcome the students who are interested in human exercise. I research mainly about the exercise in water, but do not mind you are concerned with even land exercise.
