Ms. Chihiro Kojima is graduate student of Sport and Health Science of Ritsumeikan University, which collaborated with Associate Professor Kazushige Goto. The study revealed that although exposure to a cold environment during exercise attenuated the exercise-induced reduction in hunger, this result did not agreement with the change of hormones regulating appetite.

 Dr. Atsuki Fukutani is post-doctoral fellowship (JSPS) , and his research manuscript was accepted and published in PLoS One, which collaborated with Assistant Professor Toshiyuki Kurihara and Professor Tadao Isaka. This study revealed that force enhancement by countermovement is caused by preactivation and active lengthening-induced force enhancement (residual force enhancement). Taken this into consideration, sport performance would be enhanced by utilizing these two factors.
