On-going Projects

This study exploratorily investigated changes in cerebral blood flow following short-term cognitive load and the effects of aerobic exercise at different intensities on the recovery from these changes. Cognitive load was induced by having participants perform cognitive tasks for 20 minutes, after which one of the following conditions was randomly applied: low-intensity, moderate-intensity, high-intensity aerobic exercise, or a resting condition. 

This research investigates how cognitive function, shared mental models, and gaze alignment are associated with match performance in elite collegiate volleyball players.

By integrating muscle mechanical properties, cognitive performance, prefrontal cortex activation, and extracellular water ratio, this research investigates individual neurophysiological responses to localized isometric upper trapezius loading.

By integrating changes in heart rate variability (HRV) and prefrontal cortex activity, this research investigates how slow-paced breathing modulates the brain–heart axis and influences autonomic regulation and recovery-related neurophysiological responses. 

This study exploratorily examined changes in dietary inhibitory control according to aerobic exercise intensity (moderate-intensity and high-intensity). The findings were primarily interpreted based on changes in prefrontal cortex activation measured using fNIRS and attentional bias toward food stimuli assessed using an eye-tracking device. 

This study investigates the effects of the Loughborough Soccer Passing Test (LSPT) on cognitive fatigue and neural efficiency in youth soccer players by examining changes in cognitive task performance and prefrontal cortex activity following the task. Through this approach, the study aims to identify the cognitive and neurophysiological responses associated with repeated sport-specific performance and their relationship with athletic performance. 

This study examines whether intentionally loading the forefoot before squatting can alter foot pressure distribution at the bottom position and influence lower-limb muscle activation and kinematic strategy during squats.
