Subject of research
1.	Development of training and/or nutritional methods for enhancement of competition power
2.	Elucidation of molecular mechanism for the improvement of arterial stiffness by exercise
3.	Exploration of blood biomarkers that reflect the effect of exercise on arterial stiffness

Research summary
The development of exercise training and nutritional (dietary supplement) approach for the prevention and improvement of cardiovascular disease risk (arterial stiffness), and the elucidation of the molecular mechanism. ①It is well-known that cardiovascular disease risks (arterial stiffness) are increased by aging or obesity and that these risks are improved by aerobic exercise training. However, appropriate exercise duration, intensity and time for improvement of arterial stiffness remain unclear. Therefore, I elucidate molecular mechanism of exercise effects on arterial stiffness and propose appropriate exercise to prevent or improve cardiovascular disease risks (arterial stiffness). ②I elucidate the molecular mechanism of effects of exercise and/or nutrition(dietary supplement) on arterial stiffness. ③I identify the blood biomarkers that represent effects of exercise on arterial stiffness.
