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.
