Research Content
Sports play an essential role in fostering a vibrant, healthy, and active society, as well as in supporting the sound physical and mental development of individuals (Basic Plan for the Promotion of Sports, Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology-Japan).
In recent years, the application of information processing technologies to sports has increasingly contributed to the advancement of athletic performance.
Our laboratory approaches sports and welfare from the perspective of engineering and informatics, engaging in data analysis as well as the development and evaluation of sports equipment.

A Day in the Lab
Students in our laboratory select research topics based on their own interests and pursue them independently with appropriate guidance from instructors. Our weekly 90–120‑minute seminar sessions include progress reports, planning, and discussions on related technologies and literature.
The laboratory is equipped with systems for electromyography, motion capture, ground‑reaction‑force measurement, seat‑pressure analysis, and real‑time 3D skeletal tracking, which are used according to each experimental theme.
