研究紹介	私たちが運動を行うときには、体の中で様々な変化や生理的反応を引き起こすことで、最高のパフォーマンスを発揮したり運動を維持することができます。また、運動中の生理反応は運動の様式や運動する環境によって様々に変化します。私は、特に運動の様式や環境によって運動中の生理的反応や感覚がどのように変化するか、その反応が運動中の身体に対してどのような役割を持っているのかを研究し、それらを基に運動時の安全やパフォーマンスを高める方策の開発を目指しています。

Profile

Research Areas	Exercise physiology, Environmental Physiology
Research Introduction	When we exercise, various physiological changes and responses occur in the body, enabling us to sustain exercise and perform at our best. These physiological responses vary depending on the type of exercise and the environment in which it is performed. My research focuses particularly on how physiological responses and perceptions during exercise are influenced by exercise modality and environmental conditions, and on the roles these responses play in the exercising body. Based on this work, I aim to develop strategies to enhance both safety and performance during exercise.
