Research and development of social implementation on health maintenance by integration of musculoskeletal regenerative medicine and sports/health epidemiology

Sports are important in that they contribute to both health and longevity by improving physical activity, and musculoskeletal regenerative medicine, which plays a fundamental role in sports activities, is currently being conducted worldwide from basic research to bridging practical application research, the true outcome of which is to obtain health maintenance through improved physical activity. However, research on prevention of musculoskeletal diseases from the viewpoint of social contribution to physical activity is still in its infancy. The purpose of this cooperative research program is to integrate basic research on muscles, bone and cartilage, nerves, and other musculoskeletal organs important for health maintenance with research on prevention of musculoskeletal diseases, and to develop it into a new medical research field for social implementation.
