Undergraduate Degree Program (100-Level)
Students measure various health indicators of their bodies. In particular, they take physiological measurements, such as body fat percentage, endurance, heart rate, blood pressure, and physical activity, study the meaning of these measurements, and learn what changes should be made to their lifestyles to improve these values. In addition, changes to mental health indicators that are associated with exercise are observed.
Professor Kunihiro Sakuma
Students learn how to measure health indicators using themselves as human guinea pigs, and study the significance of these measured values. By understanding things such as the background of endurance measurement methods and the meaning of blood pressure, they will come to appreciate the ingenuity and mysteries that surround the functions of the human body. The goal is to ensure that students acquire the basic knowledge necessary to maintain good health through this practical course.
