This exercise, performed in a recumbent position and designed to be safe for even the elderly, is based on the principles of body-mind integration science and is expected to have effects such as strengthening core muscles, improving balance, and increasing the movement index that supports standing bipedal walking.
On the first day of the event, Wednesday the 30th, Nikon Solutions Corporation demonstrated live cell fluorescence observation, and Aya Atomi, a research student at the Atomi Laboratory of the University's Advanced Comprehensive Research Organization, demonstrated DNA extraction, in order to deepen understanding of the cellular science behind the "Atomi Health Exercise."

Visitors interested in preventing elbow injuries in baseball pitchers came to the event, and enthusiastically asked questions and provided opinions about the significance of the research and its future prospects.
