This course is designed for both international and Japanese students who are interested in the cultures of sports, health, and longevity in Japan and other countries. We will learn different ways of thinking about what is important to enjoy sports, to achieve good health and longevity throughout the world. The ultimate goal of this course is for students to learn how to participate in and enjoy sports, in order to become healthy and increase longevity in their own lives and take good presentation skills.

Students will actively participate in research works, presentations, and feedbacks for each other. The instructor will provide on demand each classmate’s video files at class #3-7. You can join in these classes from all over the world. Students will have on site presentation at class #8-14. You can have face-to-face presentation and feedback each other. Please enjoy speaking about you and your home country to new friends, learning about different cultures, and discovering useful information from your classmates as much as possible.
