"The Effects of Whey Protein Supplementation on Hepatic Function in Patients with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease after Short-term Resistance Exercise Training (Sep. 2023 - present)"
- Supported by the National Research Foundation of Korea
- This research project investigates the potential synergy between resistance exercise training and whey protein supplementation in improving hepatic function and reducing hepatic fat content in patients with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). The study aims to validate the individual and combined effects of these interventions in addressing NAFLD.
“Establishment of physical fitness standards for ship inspectors (Feb. 2023 – Jun. 2023)”
- Supported by International Plant-quarantine Accreditation Board
- We develop physical fitness tests and cut-off values for inspectors of the International Plant-quarantine Accreditation Board who perform ship and cargo inspections to ensure the effective detection of invasive plant species.
“Efficacy evaluation of protein supplements for muscle strength and muscle recovery after resistance exercise (Jun. 2021 – May. 2023)”
- Supported by Maeil Health Nutrition Co. Ltd.
- We conduct a study to examine the effects of protein supplementation on the improvement of various physical functions such as muscle strength, liver function, and immune response, induced by resistance exercise.
“Development of physical fitness test and exercise program for firefighters in Korea (Jan. 2017 – present)”
- Supported by National Fire Agency (KR)
- We develop a physical fitness test and exercise program suitable for Korean firefighters in the Korean firefighting environment.
“Development of physical activity measurement algorithm using wearable device (May. 2016 -Apr. 2017)”
- Supported by Pusan National University
- We developed a model of energy consumption during walking that can be applied to various sloped surfaces. The model is used in conjunction with a simple wearable device to accurately measure energy expenditure during walking.
“Effects of interval training on endothelial function in hypertensive patients (Jun. 2015 - Dec. 2015)”
- Supported by Korea Institute of Sport Science
- To investigate the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on hypertensive patients, we compared the effects of HIIT and moderate-intensity continuous exercise (MICE) on reducing blood pressure and improving endothelial function in hypertensive patients.
A study on cross-talk in the liver, adipose tissue, and skeletal muscle of obese mice after exercise (Jul. 2009 – Jun. 2010)
- National Research Foundation of Korea
- We studied to reveal the characteristics of gene expression and cross-talk in liver, adipose tissue, and skeletal muscle and its molecular biological mechanism.
