Outline of Final Research Achievements

Human body is consisted from cells, which regulate own center of gravity automatically, against their secreted microenvironment, extra cellular matrix. Our body and mind has a dual nature; conscious trunk regulation through neuro-muscular linkage is necessary for an unstable posture control. We developed advanced educational program let people understand the dual nature of body and mind, and bring behavior modification to them. Effectiveness of the program was evaluated by questionnaire to university classes and open lecture with wide age group (about 1000). Results showed that program was effective to almost all the people we examined. Y. Atomi awarded “The Commendation for Science and Technology by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology” on this very program in 2015. This important program to understand own life system should be deepened to solve the violence problem especially among the athlete and school sports before 2020 Tokyo Olympic game.
