- Scientifically clarifying the physical functions of people engaged in sports and exercise
- Developing technologies that enable sports and exercise to be performed more comfortably and at a higher level
- Understanding people engaged in sports and exercise as a pathway to better manufacturing and product development
Associate Professor / OKUSHIMA Dai
He always puts students first and kindly listens to their opinions. The research topics he teaches provide many fresh perspectives that students have not previously encountered, making the learning experience both interesting and intellectually stimulating.
Research Content
His research focuses on clarifying the regulatory system of oxygen supply and consumption in muscles during exercise and developing technologies to enhance sports performance. His recent studies investigate muscle oxygen kinetics, including the heterogeneity of oxygen supply and consumption in active muscles and their relationship with physiological function, endurance capacity, and physical health. Meanwhile, students in his laboratory are engaged in research with a wide range of interests, including topics aligned with his research themes as well as themes aimed at enhancing sports performance and contributing to people’s health through exercise.
A Day in the Lab
Our lab has no set required hours, allowing students to choose research topics based on their interests. Students present papers and technologies related to their topics at weekly lab meetings, collaboratively narrowing their focus with faculty guidance. After selecting a topic, they discuss progress and plans with supervisors and peers.
The lab features diverse measurement equipment (e.g. respiratory gas analyzers for metabolic function, ultrasound systems for subcutaneous tissue and blood flow imaging, near-infrared spectroscopy devices for measuring blood oxygenation/deoxygenation, and electromyography systems for muscle activity) used according to each research theme.
