Research Outline

The Matsui Lab at the University of Tsukuba, which specializes in Exercise Biochemistry and Sports Neurobiology, is dedicated to uncovering the essence of high performance in various forms of physical activity such as exercise, martial arts, and eSport. Our goal is to promote a healthy and fulfilling sports lifestyle for all individuals, which in turn can aid in achieving their personal aspirations and fostering strong connections with others.

What is my goal as a transborder researcher?

スポーツ科学の実学的視点を忘れず、その一方でスポーツの身体性・競争性・組織性・遊戯性を動物の根源的活動として生物学的に観察するスポーツニューロバイオロジスト。これが私の理想です。これこそが、産官学でボーダレスに通用しうる次世代スポーツ生命科学の理想とも信じ、TRiSTAR においても研鑽に努めたいと考えています。

As a sport neurobiologist, I strive to maintain a pragmatic perspective on the field of sport sciences while also studying the physical, competitive, organizational, and playful aspects of sports from a biological standpoint, recognizing it as a fundamental activity among animals. This is my ideal. I believe that this vision represents the ideal for the next generation of sport life science, one that can be embraced across industries, government, and academia. I am eager to further develop my borderless understanding of sport biology at TRiSTAR.
