Introduction to the Laboratory

Human Anatomic and Physiology Lab

College of Physical Education, Kyung Hee University

Humans go through the process of growth, maturity, and development in their lifetime. Human anatomic and physiology lab is conducting basic research related to growth and aging, and various studies aimed at improving health through physical activity. In particular, the research focuses on the development of exercise programs and epidemiological surveys to prevent osteoporosis, sarcopenia, and cardiovascular disease among the elderly. In addition to growth and aging, it also conducts intervention studies on training methods and injury prevention for athletes to improve their performance.

The Asia-Fit Study project studied obesity, physical activity, nutrition, and health-related fitness levels among adolescents in seven Asian countries (Republic of Korea, Hong Kong, Japan, China, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia) and successfully conducted them by participating as representatives of Republic of Korea. Recently, it received support from the National Research Foundation of Korea under the theme of "Effects of aerobic and resistance exercise on irisin, adipocytokines, and bone metabolic markers in elderly women with osteosarcopenic obesity." This study carried out epidemiological research and exercise program development research for the health promotion purpose of the subjects who have combined osteoporosis, sarcopenia, and obesity among elderly women. It also received support from the Ministry of Science and ICT under the theme of "Development of prevention and rehabilitation program through the illumination of injury mechanism in winter sports events" to contribute to the successful hosting of the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics and achieving good grades. The study conducted an intervention study to prevent injuries to winter sports athletes and improve their performance.
