From August 25 to August 28, 2023, Professor Yasuo Kawakami<\/a> of the School of Sport Sciences Waseda University\u2019s Health Promotion: The Joy of Sports and Exercise Unit (Top Global University)<\/a> visited the Faculty of Sports Science at Kasetsart University<\/a> in Thailand to hold a research seminar, \u201cFuture of Skeletal Muscle Mechanics Research,\u201d with their staff and students.<\/h4>\n

The seminar introduced the findings of Professor Kawakami\u2019s group regarding the visualization of human skeletal muscles and bio-measurement of muscle function. Then they discussed the future prospects in terms of of the measurement of skeletal muscle shape during contraction, the connections and interaction between multiple muscles, and from the perspective of individual differences including control strategies by the nervous system, and the relationship with sports performance and injury.<\/p>\n
