 Until now, Keio SDM and Keio Rugby Club have collected and accumulated various data such as body composition, training intensity, video in games and GPS from the viewpoint of system design in order to prevent injuries to athletes and demonstrate high performance. By doing so, we are practicing nutritional guidance and training guidance based on scientific analysis.On the other hand, Taisho Pharmaceutical has been developing fatigue-related products such as Lipovitan D for many years and has accumulated knowledge about fatigue.In this joint research, by fusing and developing the strengths of both, we aim to understand the fatigue state and find out how to deal with it, and to build a recovery program for athletes.
