and development of physical education and sports in Japan.
We continue to produce world-class athletes and outstanding leaders.

However complex and diverse our society becomes, one thing remains the same: the desire to be healthy in mind and body. To help people achieve this goal, Nippon Sport Science University has spent a long time studying and researching sports, from both a physical and aesthetic viewpoint.
