In Japan, there are many health problems that must be solved, such as an increase in lifestyle-related disease patients and elderly people requiring nursing care, mental illness, and drug dependence, against the background of lifestyle-related changes, aging population, and excessive stress. Exercise has a positive effect on physical and mental health and is useful for maintaining and improving health and preventing and treating diseases, but there are many things that have not yet been clarified. Therefore, in this seminar, we conduct experiments targeting humans and animals (setting research objectives, planning experimental plans, measurement, data analysis, report / paper writing, presentations, disscussion etc.) on unexplained and unsolved problems and issues related to exercise.

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.
