Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of our study was to systematically and scientifically examine the effects of odors on resting autonomic nervous activity and physiological parameters. As a result, we found that the mean blood pressure and the rate of change in systolic blood pressure of the vinegar condition with high arousal and low emotional valence were significantly higher than those of the orange condition with low arousal and high emotional valence. We also found that inhalation of diluted ammonia, which brought about a high arousal and low emotional valence, shortened the mechanical delay time (difference between motor reaction time and muscle reaction time) during isometric elbow flexion. However, as a result of the experiment, which had taken into the consideration of arousal level and emotional valence shown above, it was implied that odor does not affect muscle endurance.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

近年、匂いをアロマテラピー・運動・スポーツ競技能力向上に利用することに対して関心が向けられ、Ergogenic aidsとしての匂いの可能性について多くの言及がなされている。しかしながら、その効果を証明する科学的証拠は不十分であり、匂いが生理パラメーターおよび運動パフォーマンスに及ぼす影響についての十分な科学的検証はなされていない。そのような状況の中で、本研究において得られた知見は、匂いに対する生体応答を明らかし、生理人類学的に意義深く、自律神経活動の調整において有意義な情報となる可能性がある。また同時に、匂いの作用をスポーツ競技力やトレーニング効率の向上に活かすことも期待できると思われる。
