Ajinomoto National Training Center

Hoshiumi, about Sakusa and Atsumu : My god, would you two just get a room already?

Sakusa : Excuse me?

Atsumu : What?

Komori : You both just keep agreeing about horrifying things and relishing everybody else's misery. So seriously, when's the wedding?

Atsumu : ...

Kageyama : I ship it.

Sakusa : CAN YOU NOT?

Warnings: suggestive content, mentions of sex

Having Oikawa as a temporary roommate doesn’t sound too bad at first.

Unless you’re dating his best friend, Hajime Iwaizumi.

Both you and Iwaizumi have been high school sweethearts, now dating officially for almost 8 years.

While your boyfriend, actually fiancé now, is working as an athletic trainer for the national Japanese volleyball team, you work as a pharmacist in the local hospital.

When Iwaizumi came home after a work-out one night, he had an annoyed expression on his face when he entered your apartment.

Pausing your actions on making dinner, you know that face already.

"What?"

Iwaizumi sighs, drops his gym bag and walks over to you with an exhausted expression.

"Those shitheads are really getting on my last nerves. Thought I lost them all already back in high school with Oikawa." The brunette hugs you from behind and can feel himself relax when he smells the familiar smell of your pineapple and coconut shampoo.

Which reminds you.

Oikawa texted you yesterday, asking if he can stay at your place for a week while he is training with his Argentinian team at the Ajinomoto National Training Center.

And the Setter knows the former Outside Hitter all too well, knowing 100% already that Iwaizumi would just leave him on read when he reads Oikawa’s message about staying at your guys’ place.

Which is why Oikawa asked you instead, knowing you’re Iwaizumi‘s kryptonite.

And Iwaizumi can never say no to you.

"Say love, don’t be mad at me."

The bliss on Iwaizumi’s face disappears and he turns you around to look at you with a frown on his face.

"What did you do?"

"Uhm… you know how much I love you? Your muscles certainly got a LOT bigger-" Tracing his firm pegs with your finger, you start to get distracted.

"Don’t try and sweet talk your way out of this. Just tell me." He gives you that look.

"Oikawa is coming to visit Japan and he needs a place to stay."

"And?"

You look at him with pleading eyes and he realizes immediately.

With big eyes, he steps away from you and the realization turns into deep annoyance.

Iwaizumi turns around to walk to your shared bathroom, he can’t deal with this right now.

"So does that mean you’re okay with it?" You call after him.

The only reply you hear, is a frustrating scream coming from the shower after a while.

"Eh, he’ll be fine." You mutter as you turn around to finish dinner.

The next day, Oikawa arrives bright and early at your front door, thankfully you’re both already awake, due to Iwaizumi’s early morning jog routine and you having the opening shift of the pharmacy.

A storm of the ringing doorbell makes the athletic trainer walk towards the door, and when Iwaizumi opens it, Oikawa jumps to hug Iwaizumi.

Not seeing in coming, Iwaizumi falls to the ground with a loud grunt, impacted by Oikawa’s weight.

"Get off of me you stupid idiot!" He pushes Oikawa off and can feel himself breathe again.

"But Iwa-chaaaaaaaan! I missed you dearly! Is this the way to greet your best friend who you haven’t seen in 4 years??" Oikawa pouts and when this chocolate brown eyes find yours, he yells your name out excitedly and runs towards you with alarming speed.

"My beautiful future best-friend-in-law looks gorgeous as always!" The giant Setter hugs you tight.

Giggling at his enthusiastic hug, you return it.

"It’s nice to have you here Tōru." You smile at him, parting from Oikawa.

"Come on, Shittykawa, let’s go on a seven mile run, like I do every morning."

The Setter pales like a ghost at that.

"But- I just got here and you’re already making me run? You can treat those mediocre third class athletes at the gym like that but not me, your best friend who just traveled half the globe to see you!" Oikawa tries to make an excuse but it doesn’t sit well with Iwaizumi.

"I am dead serious. Get your Argentinian ass outside, now."

Huffing in defeat, the brunette joins his best friend.

Now, originally Oikawa only meant to stay for a week, but one week turned into two and now the stay is reaching the third week.

In the beginning, it was only a stay because of training but now the practice time is over and before the real game starts, the coaches gave them two weeks off additionally.

You have the patience of a saint, really, while Iwaizumi feels each day his patience getting thinner and thinner. You can’t blame your partner, since he sees him at work AND at home.

The worst part for Iwaizumi is, he can’t have sex with you, because whenever he tries to seduce you or vice versa, the Setter seems to have a hidden talent on knowing when the two of you want some alone time.

On the couch, in the kitchen, the bathroom, you can’t even have alone time in your own bedroom because Oikawa is bursting in your bedroom every night, complaining and gossiping about every. single. player. while laying in the middle between you and Iwaizumi.

But now, even your patience begins to run out, your sexual frustration beginning to eat you alive.

So on a Tuesday night, you and Iwaizumi want to go out on a date, hopefully stopping by a hotel afterwards to relieve some of that tension. Or all of it.

And Oikawa wants to tag along, not wanting to be left alone in the apartment by himself, while the athletic trainer is trying to hint at his best friend that he wants to have sex with you.

"Why can’t I come with you?" The Setter whines.

"Because (Y/N) and I are going out tonight, we want some privacy to ourselves, because you couldn’t give us any for the last damn three weeks."

Oikawa nods.

"Just the two of us."

He nods again.

"Alone." Iwaizumi feels like speaking to a four year old.

"Alright, no problem, I’ll try to hit up Matsun or Maki." Oikawa whistles while making himself comfortable on the couch again, texting his former teammates.

Iwaizumi feels his anger rising abruptly, about to snap his neck and before you have to clean up a crime scene, you push your lover out of the apartment before an accidental murder happens.

In the end, you and Iwaizumi don’t even make it to dinner because you teased him during the ride, caressing his thigh up and down.

You don’t come back to the apartment for another two days, missing thousands of messages from Oikawa, enjoying each others bodies like you did the first time you got intimate.

[oinkawa-bb]

synopsis: you're volunteering at the all-japan youth training camp, and you actually make some friendly admirers along the way. but there’s one black-haired, frowny setter boy who stands out the most to you.

word count: 1.3k

mentions: pure fluff, gender neutral volleyball player!reader, cw food/eating

even if it meant taking off a week from your own training, it was beyond exciting to volunteer for the all-japan youth training camp—but as much as you tried to remind yourself that this was a priceless opportunity, you were inevitably envious of those who would actually get to play this week.

so here you were, strolling towards the front of the ajinomoto national training center with your hands shoved deep into your winter coat pockets, a wool scarf engulfing the lower half of your face, and a scowl resting on your lips as you huff and puff against the itchy fabric, pondering about how great it would feel to be in uniform instead of typical winter clothing.

“someone’s a lil’ cold, aren’t they?”

you hear a man chuckle behind you, and you feel your cheeks burn up as you turn around and catch sight of a tall, blonde boy sporting a clean black undercut and a teasing smile. he walks quickly, but once he reaches you, he slows down to match your pace, taking his hands out of his tracksuit pockets to cross his arms.

“what’s a cutie like you doing here? it doesn’t look like yer here for the camp,” he remarks, leaning forwards to catch a peek of your frowning face shielded by  the hood of your coat. 

you mutter under your breath that you’re volunteering at the camp to catch balls and do some other dumb tasks rather than actually playing, and he smiles slyly.

“work hard then ‘cause you’ll still hav’ to keep up with me.”

you could’ve sworn that he winked at you before he nonchalantly sped up his pace and entered the building. what an ass, you thought to yourself, silently cursing him as you reach the front doors.

but as you enter the main gymnasium, the sight of the huge volleyball courts and the flat screen television live broadcasting the entire gym leave you speechless and forgetful of the encounter that occurred just moments ago. you can’t help but gape open-mouthed at your surroundings as you stand in the middle of the two courts and take in the sight of everything from the huge light fixtures dangling above to the multitude of players warming up. 

there’s a tap on your shoulder, and a boy with floppy chestnut hair and thick, round eyebrows is grinning sheepishly at you.

“are you lost?”

at this moment, your cheeks flare up again when you realize that you’re the only one in the whole gymnasium bundled up in thick winter clothing. and with that, you notice that many of the boys in the room are glaring at you confusedly too.

“oh no, i-i’m just a volunteer,”

you smile politely back at the boy, frantically pulling off your coat and scarf and bowing your head towards him. he looks like he’s about to introduce himself and extend his hand, but you’re already rushing towards the front of the gymnasium to meet with the coordinator and escape the eyes that seem to follow you everywhere.

quickly after the coach introduces himself and delivers a typical motivational spiel, the boys of the camp are warming up and playing practice sets. you stand at the end of one of the courts, intently following the ball with your eyes and thoroughly tracking the players and their next moves. 

as the morning progresses, you learn the names of many of the players—from atsumu the prick you met outside the training center to komori the sweet boy who initially asked if you were lost. but there’s one boy who draws your attention the most out of everyone in the room.

whether it’s admiration for his skill or just solely physical attraction or a combination of both, you can’t take your eyes off of tobio kageyama. 

so much so that one time the ball actually comes straight at your face and takes your eyes off of him for you. and unfortunately for you, the boys see this happen—so you’re almost certain that at this point they must think you’re an absolute fool. 

but you’re actually unaware of how some of them steal admirable glances at you during breaks or leave their fingers lingering over yours for a few seconds too long as you hand them a water bottle. or even the select few of them (looking at atsumu) that like to check your expression as soon as they pull off an impressive play.

the boys of the training camp think your intense game expression and devotion to the game is more adorable than anything, and so you actually slowly find yourself warming up to casual conversation with the ones who approach you.

actually, you warm up to nearly all of them except for kageyama—the first year player from karasuno with messy black hair and cold eyes focused on setting and really nothing else. 

honestly, it isn’t until lunch that he even takes notice of you. 

sitting alone at a table and sipping milk through a straw, the setter is caught off guard when his eyes meet yours. he’s a bit startled at first by your intense and enthusiastic glare, reminding him of a certain orange-haired doofus back at home. 

but when he processes that you’re just looking for a spot to sit, he absentmindedly scoots over and shifts his tray (even though the entire table he’s sitting at is empty). the poor boy blushes and glances down when he notices how dumb he probably appears to look, but what he doesn’t see is the grin that crosses your face as you approach his table.

you introduce yourself first, and before kageyama has the chance to introduce himself, you blabber that you know who he is and also how talented he is and now both of you sport flushed cheeks and the inability to make eye contact. 

however, as you attempt to make conversation and start talking about your own volleyball team and teammates, his ears perk up and he’s listening intently. 

and with that, your conversation begins to bounce back and forth as he starts to talk about his team too—about hinata “the wannabe ace” to tsukishima the “unnecessarily tall, four eyed jerk” to just about everyone else on his team. 

lunch goes by quickly that day. a little too quickly, in kageyama’s opinion.

but as the days go by, and with each lunch that passes, the two of you grow to know each other better—you learn about the time hinata served directly into kageyama’s head, and the two of you share a lot of good laughs about mishaps. your conversations even sometimes draw the attention of other guys at the camp who occasionally join you at the table, only to be deterred by the fact that kageyama’s eyes are only for you and vice versa.

when the final day of camp arrives, your friendship with kageyama is set in stone the moment you hand him an extra milk carton that you picked up from the lunch line. he feels the same warmth rush to his cheeks as it did the first day when you sat with him, and he murmurs his appreciation with his eyes avoiding yours, solely making eye contact with the cow on the milk carton. 

before practice ends that day, you muster up the courage to scribble your number down on the back of a paper, crumple it up, and shove it into kageyama’s palm in passing. 

“maybe i’ll see you around, country bumpkin?”

and as the tips of his ears go bright red and a soft smile graces his lips, you know this won’t be the last time you’ll hear from tobio kageyama.

A Wall (Not) Too Tall [Haikyuu]

Warning: Manga spoilers

The bus squeaked to a halt in the driveway of an upscale hotel in Tokyo, ready to accept its modestly famous cargo. Black Jackals personnel hoisted luggage into the coach’s underbelly, while the distinguished athletes themselves mingled in the lobby, mostly unbothered by hotel guests.

On a coffee table in a corner of the lobby, Atsumu’s glass, coated in condensation, clinked when the ice broke and floated to the top. Hinata was stretched back on the opposite couch, texting Kageyama about the luxuriousness of the room he and Atsumu shared last night.

“You’re surprisingly calm,” Miya teased the wing spiker.

The Black Jackals were headed to Seoul, Korea, for a rare international exhibition game. It was the first time the Black Jackals would visit Korea for a match. Bokuto lauded all the cool stuff they’d see, Sakusa asked the internet for cultural hygiene standards, and Atsumu pretended to be cool and laidback, although team captain Meian teased him for being one of the most nervous of them all.

But Hinata…what Atsumu didn’t realize was Hinata took solace texting on his phone to clear his excitement.

He was texting Kageyama, because the Adlers last year had been selected for the foreign game.

“I think that’s near Ajinomoto,” Tobio replied when Hinata mentioned the hotel. Clearly Kageyama’s sense of direction had improved. He was referring to the national training center, where coincidentally Kageyama had attended the youth camp years ago.

The reply made Hinata sit up cross-legged on the couch. Miya peered at him. The ice in the glass threatened to melt.

With tenacity that took even Atsumu by surprise, Hinata immediately scoured the map on his phone for directions to the training center. It was but ten minutes away, if he ran.

“Hey, Coach! How much time do we have?”

Coach Samson Foster chatted with a hotel rep when the young player interrupted. Due to a logistics issue, it would take longer to load up than expected. He told Hinata about 30 minutes.

“Tsum-Tsum!” Shouyou cried, adopting Bokuto’s nickname by osmosis. “Can you show me the training center? I want a pic.”

Although the endless energy of Bokuto and Hinata usually suffocated him, Atsumu found the sprout’s reservoir more pleasing to the taste buds than his senior’s. The youthful vigor was on full display here as Shouyou Hinata bounced out of the hotel, almost too fast for Atsumu Miya to realize what was happening. He sprinted after the spiker, leaving the sweating glass to warm up in the lobby. …

東京四間運動相關機構 帶你了解日本對運動的投資有多深

2019年10月底參加了台灣運動醫學醫學會TASM的日本東京運動醫學參訪，見識到日本國立體育科學研��所JISS(Japan institute of Sports Sciences)跟國家培訓中心NTC(National Training Center)，以及許多讓人讚嘆不已的運動醫學相關醫院與學校。

◎ 加入領客體育粉絲專頁，設定「搶先看」掌握最新體育資訊！

 國家菁英的搖籃JISS和NTC

日本高性能體育中心HPSC(High performance Sport Center)下面有不同部門，其中JISS和NTC是日本體育科學和運動醫學的主要中心，JISS和日本體育協會、各大學和研究機構合作，NTC則由日本奧林匹克委員會獨立營運，兩個機構的主要目的都在於提高日本運動員國際競爭力。 

在HPSC的業務中，主要包括透過系統性的運動醫學與科學支援，進行研究與開發，創造有用的知識與策略來提升競爭力，也透過運動醫療業務，給予選手檢查、復健、營養諮詢或運動傷害諮詢的服務，幫助他們獲得更好的成績。將未來有潛力的運動員派外國外參加進修或頂級聯賽，也希望提高女子運動項目的支援，也建立強化的網絡圖，整合地區運動醫學資源和體育大學的合作，建立全日本的支援網絡。 

其中JISS的科學研究設施令人歎為觀止，除了生理實驗室、生化實驗室、心理學實驗室、體力科學實驗室、陸上競技實驗室，還有模擬高原低溫實驗室跟風洞實驗室。針對比賽狀況進行研究，很多設施都是世界一流，給予選手具有實質的訓練或比賽建議。在JISS醫學中心裡面，有專任醫師輪流看診，檢查設備包括超音波、X-ray、電腦斷層，和兩台核磁共振，其中一台還是3T等級，另外也提供藥劑室、營養諮詢等相關服務，這樣的醫療支援是很多國家無法相比的，可以感受到國家對於體育選手的健康狀況重視程度。 

NTC的設施主要座落在兩棟建築物裡面，原館有摔角、拳擊、體操、柔道、舉重、羽球、籃球、排球跟桌球等室內練習場，還包括一個室外的陸上競技場，跟選手宿舍，因為味之素的贊助，所以給予冠名權，稱為味之素國家培訓中(AJINOMOTO NTC)。NTC東館是今年新完工的建築，有新式會議室，還有室內擊劍、射擊、重訓、桌球練習場以及一個50公尺的泳池。在所有參訪的場館中，發現日本對於很多細節都有全盤規劃，連參訪的路線都別有心思的設計運動相關佈置，讓人佩服他們的巧思與設計。 

在當天早上參訪時很多日本著名的運動選手都在裡面練習，很多令人一邊參觀一邊讚嘆的設施，例如用燈光模擬速度的設計，讓人感受不同運動項目速度的快感，也有泳池旁擬真跳台，讓人情不自禁站在上面，深呼吸、彎腰、準備做出跳水出發的動作。

更別提牆上各種設計美感，像日本各地區擅長哪種運動、各運動的巔峰年齡區間都用視覺化圖像給人耳目一新的感受，為了讓選手無後顧之憂，連托育中心都有了，可惜規定無法拍照或室內照片無法外流，只能筆述驚訝與佩服，對他們投入運動領域的精神與專業素養，欽佩得五體投地。希望有天，台灣也有能跟日本HPSC媲美的科學化設施與場館，幫助選手追求更好的表現。

東京醫科齒科大學

東京醫科齒科大學(TMDU)是傳統國立大學。成立於1946年。簡稱為醫科齒科大、東京醫齒大，其中牙醫學部是日本最早成立的公立牙醫教育機構，在日本排名第一。台灣每年都有很多牙醫師或學生申請前往TMDU進修。 

登泰山而小天下，參訪時，分別由Yagishita教授為我們介紹高壓氧治療、Churei教授介紹運動齒科學、Koga教授介紹ACL injury機轉、Aizawa博士介紹ACL重建前後的復健計畫。 

我比較有興趣的是在高壓氧治療與運動齒科學，目前研究認為高壓氧治療(Hyperbaric oxygen treatment)在幫助運動員具有一定角色，Yagishita教授統計在2016年期間共有數十位奧林匹克選手接受過高壓氧治療，分別在日本JISS、Toshiba hospital跟TMDU。平均每位選手大約治療3.4次，其中這些奪牌選手中接受過高壓氧治療的，總共獲得6面金牌、6面銀牌跟7面銅牌。在TMDU每年日本國民保險給付跟自費的高壓氧治療人數大約接近200位，人次介於600-800之間。 

根據過去研究，雖然個案數較少、缺乏盲性研究等因素，但發現高壓氧治療在促進軟組織恢復可能有助益，而近幾年基礎研究也發現，發現高壓氧不僅可以減少急性時期的發炎狀況，也促進肌肉細胞的再生。雖然目前國內高壓氧治療大多以健保給付相關適應症為主，相信未來會有更多人投入相關研究。

在台灣牙科次專分科眾多，但是東京醫科齒科分得更細，身為全日本最大的牙科醫院，有矯正齒科、小兒齒科、齒周病科、口腔顏面疼痛科、精神官能相關齒科、顳顎關節治療科、口腔外科、義齒科、睡眠呼吸相關齒科、運動齒科、語言治療科、植牙科、齒科綜合診療部、齒科麻醉門診、放射科、 特殊需求門診、吞嚥困難科、齒敏感科等 。 

為我們介紹的是運動齒科的Churei教授，他說明運動齒科主要業務是幫助運動員

牙齒檢查

一般牙科治療

治療顳顎關節問題處理口腔顏面傷害

提供客製化運動員牙套與臉罩

他分享很多運動類型需要運動員牙套(與一般牙套使用不一樣的材質，目的也不同)的保護，例如：橄欖球、拳擊等，根據BJSM研究發現使用適當的牙套可以減少43%的牙科相關花費，受傷的風險也相差4.6倍。他也提到目前市售飲料酸鹼值pH很多小於5.5，像是果汁、碳酸飲料等，對於牙齒不好，而運動飲料也偏酸性，不建議平時沒事喝運動飲料，如果運動時有補充飲料，及時漱口是需要的。 

很難得的機會一覽日本頂尖醫科齒科大學的內部，老舊的房舍與新建的建築融合出一個新的氣象，每天在臨床、研究與教學中��掘問題與創造知識，從他們分享的近期研究可以發現每位醫師都學有專精且不斷的在進步，積極與世界接軌，是我們學習的標竿。

船橋整形外科病院

船橋整形外科病院是運動骨科專門的指標性地區醫院，各醫師有擅長的部位，主要分為下肢、上肢、人工關節跟脊椎，醫院負責的業務包括門診、開刀跟術後復健，因為專業特殊性，也提供運動傷害醫療跟支援運動賽事，例如最近在日本舉辦的的世界杯橄欖球賽。 

這邊知名醫師包括菅谷啓之、高橋憲正、高橋謙二等，其中肩關節擅長的高橋憲正醫師，之前TASM研討會曾經邀請來台演講。 

主要建築有門診大樓跟住院大樓，中間沒有通道相連，要從室外步道通行，雖然僅有106床、7間開刀房，但去年共有5300件骨科手術，每個病人平均約住院5.3-5.4天。其中醫師約50人(10人麻醉科、40人骨科醫師)、27位運動防護員、159位物理治療師、一般職員有600人，一天十幾個診間，總門診量含復健治療包括一千多位病人。骨科醫師是這間醫院的骨幹，從門診、影像判讀到術後復健，都以骨科醫師為主軸，其他專業人員同樣扮演不可或缺的角色，另外每天刀房術式不同，例如同樣週三可能都以人工關節置換為主。

物理治療室中的配備很簡單，病房復健在病房空間或復健室，門診復健與運動訓練多在二樓的近百坪開放的復健室裡治療，除了儀器治療有用隔間，其餘的人其實都可能看得到其他人，儀器治療只佔其中一小部分，徒手跟運動訓練佔術後復健的大宗，在運動訓練區可以看到七八十歲的爺爺奶奶很熟練地在做棒式��利用彈力帶練習深蹲。 

除了臨床，醫院對於研究也很重視，醫師每年會列出發表論文以及受邀演講的清單，並且給予一年五次研討會的補助，從院內研究海報可見，醫師之外，院內的治療師、護理師也有相關研究發表，可見醫院對研究的重視程度。

病房內地版的乾淨程度像剛打過蠟，床與床之間的隔簾是台灣醫院比較不喜歡的米白色，每間病房窗機清明，陽光從窗外射入的感受像日劇中出現的景象，純淨的白光中減少了疼痛的雜念。很多大家熟悉的日本奧運選手曾在這邊就診過，其中近期最著名的應該是冬奧羽生結弦。

整個醫院的動線設計清楚流暢，有如工廠製程般追求職人的效率，每天要進出的病人很多，但幾乎沒有排隊的狀況，雖然規模無法跟醫學中心相比，很多細節都可以發現這間地區醫院，處處都是經驗與時間所歷練出的高效精準，如何將事情做得又快又好，是我們可以學習的對象。

 帝京大學 

2011年成立了TUISSM 學會(Teikyo University Institute of Sports Science & medicine)，在2018年完成主要設備跟建築。

希望聯合各種專業，包括骨科醫師、物理治療師、訓練師以及校內研究室、訓練室等幫助受傷運動員、擴大運動社群，對運動科學與與運動醫學做出更多貢獻，讓日本社會再次因為運動而偉大。

他們主要透過四個核心技術：醫學、科學、科技、生理的結合，完成幾個任務，包括教學、研究、臨床，和特別支援，因為帝京大學的重點體育項目包括曾經全國八連霸的橄欖球、啦啦隊、路跑等，特別支援任務主要有

TASK ：透過一系列專業分析了解身體狀況，訂定客製化的計畫加以訓練

MPI：利用高科技產品測量，結合動作分析、相關實證、傷害預防等研究，給予建議

Sports medicine and science clinic：結合運科與運醫的資源，幫助運動員追求更好的成績

例如研究有氧能力，會針對運動員做一系列的分析與評估，分別在實驗室檢驗、訓練時評估以及生理評估，項目包括休息時與訓練時VO2、乳酸、心跳、乳酸閾值等，去了解運動員身體狀況。 

校內餐廳會根據抽血、體組成結果、選手專長項目，給予不同的營養建議，例如餐廳內就可以見到路跑選手、啦啦隊的每日菜單。這些隊伍都是全國頂尖的隊伍，參訪的時候剛好遇到啦啦隊練習，每個人充滿活力，第一次不是在電影中，而是真實在你的面前連續後空翻，場景讓人難忘。

醫療部分，每天有骨科醫師輪診，校內影像設備包括X ray、超音波與MRI， 當校內選手或合作的運動員受傷時，立即全面的評估跟給予醫療資源，也有完整的支援系統，當合適的醫師在外地開會時，也能透過網路給予建議。復健治療儀器完整，相當於台灣一個診所的規模，還搭配水療、單人或多人高壓氧艙等治療���式，是國內大學診療室目前望塵莫及的。

訓練方面，學校內擁有多項完善的訓練設備，例如一般健身房的重型裝備以外，還包括等速肌力機、antigravity treadmill、體表體態分析、攀岩場地等，都在運動醫學與科學這棟大樓裡，從學校對於這塊領域投入龐大的心血，可以了解被重視程度。

結論

這幾天參觀完日本目前非常厲害的國家訓練中心、醫科齒科大學、地區醫院、運動科學和醫學重點大學，很多日本正在做的事情都一拳拳地撞擊了大家的腦袋，一針針扎出大家的熱血，日本對於體育的重視程度遠遠比我們想像的還要多很多，這不是單純用別人人口比較多就可以安慰自己的話。 

台灣雖然小，但我們有很多熱血的運動員，而在學校、在醫院、在訓練場，也有一群想幫助運動員有更好表現，對運動有熱愛的專業人士，相信這些日本參訪後埋下的想法，會逐漸茁壯蔓延，就像賈伯斯所說過：

You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. 

我想這也是TASM舉辦日本參訪最重要的初衷。

最後感謝 前體委會主委陳全壽教授一路上的經驗分享、聯新國際醫院張煥禎院長強力支持、林頌凱學長、劉又銓學長跟TASM強大的秘書與背後團隊支援，沒有你們就沒有這次滿載而歸的參訪。

Yuzuru's close ups at today's Workshops at Ajinomoto National Training Center [ asahi.com/n97j ]

[mephistopheles2022]

JOC Workshop team building Ajinomoto National Training Center #YuzuruHanyu #羽生結弦 😍😄

[matsuoka-lin]

My totally-not-over-the-top research for At First Click led me to Ajinomoto National Training Center today & I thought I’d share some of the pictures I took for those of you who are curious about these things!

While I was already on my way back to Akabane station, I belatedly realised this actually isn’t the place I originally imagined AFC!Rin training --- but it’s only two blocks away from Toyo University’s General Sports Center (where I’m guessing Hirai Norimasa usually oversees some of the athletes underneath his wing)! At least I don’t have to adjust the address of the apartment building I picked out for him as well... ^^;

I strongly feel like both of these facilities would make great candidates for places Rin and/or Haruka might eventually end up training at (either as transfer students at Toyo University or as graduates), though, so I hope this information will come in handy to other writers/artists. It’s unfortunately not the club we see Haruka training in with Free! ES ep. 13, but that doesn’t really mean much in the long run. He’ll have to go somewhere after graduating, and... y’know... these two locations have some very nice pools. They’d be pretty damn difficult to resist for someone like Haruka, IMO.

For the record: Ajinomoto NTC was built in 2008 (& JISS in 2001), but Hirai didn’t get his own fancy training facility at Toyo University’s Sports Center until 2013.

Anyway, I wouldn’t say the experience was as spectacular as my visit to Foro Italico with @shimizu-k in 2015, but I got preeeetty excited when I noticed all the TOKYO 2020 stuff & I’m definitely all fired up for AFC’s next chapter now. It’s such a nice area, too... I mean, it’s a lot calmer than Shinjuku/Ikebukuro/Shibuya/etc. Everyone I came across was so ridiculously friendly as well. I just had a genuinely lovely time there!

CAPAS, Tarlac -- Veteran long-jumper Marestella Torres-Sunang believes that she has now reached at least 70 percent of her peak in performance as she ruled the women’s long jump of the 30th Southeast Asian Games (SEA Games) athletics test event at the New Clark City (NCC) Athletics Stadium on Saturday.

“Sa December, kailangan nanduon na (By December, I should be ready),” said the 38-year-old Torres-Sunang, who is on her seventh SEA Games stint.

During the test event at the newly-built 20,000-seater NCC Athletics Stadium, Torres-Sunang leaped a distance of 6.2 meters on her fourth attempt to win the gold medal.

In beating her Thai and Vietnamese rivals for the gold, Torres-Sunang moved closer to her target, which is the 6.45-meter mark that earned her the bronze medal back in the 2017 SEA Games.

“Nag-practice na ako dito. Pero this time, may mga foreigners. Hindi naman namin ito focus kasi, siningit lang ito sa training (I practiced here already. But this time, we have foreign rivals. It’s not really our focus, it was just included in our training),” said Torres-Sunang, who set a national record of 6.72 meters which qualified her to the Rio Olympics three years ago.

Thai bet Parinya Chuaimaroeng settled for the silver with her 6.17-meter performance on her fifth attempt, while Vietnamese standout Thi Ngoc Ha Vu took the bronze (6.02 meters) on her first try.

Torres-Sunang's feat came as defending women's discus throw champion Insaeng Subenrat of Thailand heaved a mind-boggling 56.99 meters for the gold medal.

Subenrat's feat surpassed the 55.23-meter heave which won her the gold medal in the 2017 SEA Games, with Filipino bets Daniella Daynata and Aira Teodosio came up with heaves of 38.53 and 37.49 meters respectively for second and third places.

The two-day test event in athletics is expected to show how ready the Filipino tracksters are for the biennial meet which the country will host for the fourth time.

The Philippines will field 72-member athletics' team which put their skills to test against opponents from Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam.

Among the Philippines' toughest challengers is top Vietnamese sprinter Trần Thị Yến Hoa, who will defend her crown in the women's 100-meter hurdles.

Hoa showed up at the 20,000-seat New Clark City athletics' stadium all by herself and is getting ready to face Filipino bets Melissa Escoton and Jelly Diane in today's running events.

Two years ago, Hoa took the gold in 13.4 seconds, and early this year, she had a slower time of 13.79 seconds in the Vietnamese national championships.

Escoton, who had a time of 14.19 seconds in the recent PATAFA Weekly Relays, is her closest foe.

Twenty-four of the total 48 athletics' events in the SEA Games will be played in the test events

In diving at the NCC Aquatic Center, Koh Hui Yan of Malaysia took the women's individual platform honors with 11.8 points, beating Jana Mary Villaflor of the Philippines (8.4 points).

Malaysians Muhammad Syahmi Mohd Rezal and Mohammad Haris Mohd Rezal took a 1-2 finish in the men's 3-m springboard individual finals.

The Spin on Aspartame

If you like to learn more about aspartame all you need to do is to type “aspartame”, and browse all the results that will come up. One week will not be enough to browse all the results. There is a lot of information, speculation, researches and studies for this subject.

If you don’t have time to research through all the materials, this article is perfect for you. This article has different approach. It fixes on a small bit of the debate and then it follows it through.

At the beginning, this article focuses on the people who are assuring us it is safe, or simply said-the experts. The same experts from the government, experts from the medical field, everyone are stating that we shouldn’t worry, and if it was harmful they would have tell us.

But the more we research about this subject, the more terrified and skeptical we are. What we will reveal is a great endeavor from the people at the highest levels of our government and the ones at the highest levels of the medical community, to beguile the people about the safety of aspartame.

We all have been tricked about this dangerous product for bigger profits.

Take a look at this video before you continue reading:

We will start from the beginnings. The company G. D. Searle has developed this product at the first time. Still, the Food and Drug Administration which is a federal agency whose job is ensuring that the food and drugs are safe for us, didn’t approve their product.

Supposedly, the substance was applied on monkeys, in which later were appeared lesions, tumors, seizures and even some of them ended up dead.

The FDA has been rejecting the company’s applications for approval, but they insisted in presenting their own evidences that their product is not dangerous.

When FDA had it enough, they asked Department of Justice to charge G. D. Searle for presentation deceptive test information in their endeavor to get their product ratified. The FDA senior toxicologist Dr. Adrian Gross had something to say about this subject on the Congress: “Behind a shadow of a doubt aspartame stimulates brain tumors.”

Then G. D. Searle made Donald Rumsfeld its CEO. When Ronald Reagan became a president, he included Rumsfeld in his team, and then another FDA commissioner was chosen immediately.

The unnatural sweetener created by the company Donald Rumsfeld was leading, over the objections of the FDA scientific board, was ratified in one of the first acts of the new FDA commissioner.

Also, when it seemed like aspartame will be ratified later on for use in carbonated drinks, the National Soft Drink Association disagreed with this act, claiming that it wouldn’t be safe for people because aspartame is very unsteady when in liquid form and decomposes into formaldehyde, amidst other things.

G.D. Searle was bought in 1985 by Monsanto, and the NutraSweet Company functioned as a part of Monsanto until 2000, and then Monsanto has been sold to J.W. Childs Equity Partners, where it remains today.

Meanwhile, the FDA has composed a list of 92 symptoms related with aspartame consummation. Blindness, deafness, sickness, dizziness, weight gain and even death, are all included in this list. Anyway, aspartame still can be found in the markets, included in more products.

Aspartame Resource Center (www.aboutaspartame.com) claims that aspartame is found in over 6.000 products around the world. You can find some “cheerful” information about the safety of aspartame. Ironically, they even have a part labeled as “Meet the doctors,” where you can read a list of their medical advisory board.

In the medical advisory part, you can read the ARC saying: “The Aspartame Information Center Expert Medical Advisory Board was made to help guide the Center’s communications to health professionals and the public about aspartame gains, safety and role in a healthy diet. The board members are giving counsel on present medical and nutrition science, as well as preview on tools that help address the demands of health professionals in their work. Their backgrounds are covering critical areas of medicine and science, and each has unique experience in health and nutrition.”

Does it sound to you like they don’t really know they are? This “Aspartame Information Center”, what is this? I checked the site(www.aspartame.org) and I saw a pretty large list of “experts”, who are a tool for backing up claims that aspartame is safe, including the Calorie Control Council. As a matter of fact, the Calorie Control Center possesses the Aspartame Information Center site, and you can also read on the bottom that it is listed as a copyright holder.

The Aspartame Resource Center promotes all kinds of “fact” lists that you can download, especially the one called “Straight Answers about Aspartame.” This list is created by the American Dietetic Association and the Calorie Control Council. At the bottom of the fact list you can see that it has been sponsored by aspartame.org. The fact is that the Aspartame Information Center, the Aspartame Resource Center and Ajinomoto are all the same and are considered as the biggest producers of aspartame worldwide.

There is a question- who owns the Calorie Control Council? In its site www.caloriecontrol.org you can read that the Calorie Control Council is founded in 1966 and it stand for 60 producers and suppliers of low-calorie, low-fat and light foods and drinks, where more than 10 different producers and suppliers of dietary sweeteners are included.

If you go deeper you will find another site related to the Calorie Control Council. It is called Calories Count and you can visit it at www.caloriescount.com, where you can see that it is sponsored by Ajinomoto, NutraSweet, Splenda and Sweet ‘N Low. You can take a closer look at their sponsorship page: http://www.caloriescount.com/support.html.

To summarize, the FDA claimed that aspartame was harmful, and they didn’t want to ratify it. But, when the new president and his associate appointed new head of the FDA, the aspartame was immediately ratified after 16 years of being rejected. It is a little bit strange, isn’t it?

And even today, if you like to find more information about aspartame, you will end up on sites full with cheerful and comforting data, which is showing you how safe the aspartame is. Associations like American Dietetic Association are writing this information and are sponsored by aspartame itself!

In order to consult those who were meant to be trusted, the medical experts with the needed knowledge I backed out again to the Aspartame Resource Center.

The first name on the list was C. Wayne Callaway, M.D., where I ended up in another endless rabbit hole.

I visited his Web site and after the opening quote from Hippocrates, I found all kinds of information there. You can read his whole CV there.

1. Wayne Callaway, M.D., finished his medical training at Northwestern University, Mayo Graduate School of Medicine and Harvard University. He is also board certified in Internal Medicine, Clinical Nutrition and Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism and has held academic assignations at Harvard Medical School, Mayo Medical School and George Washington University.

He was a head of the Public Information Committee of the American Society for Clinical Nutrition and the American Society for Nutrition Sciences, has been a part of the Board of Directors of the American Board of Nutrition, also was a part of the American Heart Association, and has been a counselor to the American Medical Association.

He cooperates with the Mayo Clinic, the National Institutes of Health, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and the USDA. He was a counselor to the U.S. Surgeon General and assisted in creating dietary directions for the USDA.

He has been working on the heading boards of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, together with other medical magazines. His articles were published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, The Annals of Internal Medicine, the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, and the Internal Journal of Obesity and many others.

In his biography you will find that Dr. Callaway’s opinions on nutrition and health are often published in the New York Times, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, LA Times, Wall Street Journal and many other magazines like Time, Newsweek, U.S. News& World Report, Vogue, Elle, Health and many others.

You can also hear his expert statements on nutrition on NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, PBS, ESPN and many other televisions. He was a guest on the McNeill-Lehrer Newshour, the Today Show, Good Morning America, Phil Donahue, Larry King Live and other shows and talk programs.

All of this sounds perfect. But if you dig a little bit deeper, you will notice in his CV that hi is a member of the American Society for Clinical Nutrition.

He was also a head of the Public Information Committee of the American Society for Clinical Nutrition. Investigating for the American Society for Clinical Nutrition, you will get straight to the American Society for Nutrition (www.nutrition.org)

Both are publishing the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition which is the highest ranked peer-reviewed magazine in nutrition and dietetics, and the Journal of Nutrition which gives the latest research covering a wide field of topics of crucial interest to researchers, scientists, students, policymakers and ordinary people who have interests in nutrition.

If you do some additional research you will find out that the American Society for Clinical Nutrition, A.K.A. the American Society for Nutrition, is backed up by some “sustaining members”, who are (giving) collecting financial back up for the society’s activities in education, scientific programs and professional outreach. The site claims that the sustaining members are able to sponsor educational probabilities, grants and other items.

Mars, McCormick, Monsanto, Campbell Soup Company, ConAgra Foods, Dannon, The National Dairy Council, Nestle, The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, Cadbury Schweppes, Eli Lilly, General Mills, Gerber, GlaxoSmithKline, Kellog, Kraft, PepsiCo, POM Wonderful, Procter&Gamble, The Sugar Association, Unilever, Wrigley and Wyeth are all included in those sustaining members.

Dr. Wayne Callaway is a acknowledged expert in nutrition, who demonstrates before Congress and appears as a guest in some national televisions to declare his statements on food and nutrition.

His statements are released nationally and often. He is surely a national expert and his opinions are taken quite seriously, and are released from respected medical magazines. He also states that the aspartame is not dangerous at all.

He works and writes together with the people who are backed up by the food industry that uses aspartame. He is a hired “medical expert” by the food industry, and his job is to present the safety of the aspartame before the mainstream media.

In his CV you can find that he is an advisor of some government agencies like the National Research Council/National Academy of Sciences, the U.S. Congress, the USDA and U.S. Postal Service (which is a little odd).

Also, the one that we couldn’t neglect is the FDA. In his Web site you can also read which other institutes are paying him. Here are some of them: American Institute of Wine and Food, Mars, Mead Johnson Nutritional Group, the Milk Industry Foundation, the Monsanto Corporation, Nabisco, the National Dairy Council, the Nestle Foundation for Nutrition and Health, Ocean Spray, Parke-Davis, Proctor & Gamble, Quaker Oats and the United Dairy Industry.

One more! NutraSweet

It may look unbelievable and we will summarize again: Dr. W. Callaway is a nationally acknowledged expert for nutrition who claims that there is no danger from aspartame at all. He is paid by NutraSweet and Ajinomoto which are the biggest manufacturers of aspartame.

It is clear that the people are tricked for a bigger profit. Where do the profits come in? It is calculated that the U.S. marker for unnatural sweeteners with aspartame leading the charge will be more than $3 billion around the world.

The quote-“Several ingredients have resisted such detailed testing and iterated, close scrutiny, and the process through which aspartame has gone should give the public with more confidence of its safety”, can be found at the top of the home page for the Aspartame Information Center, who is in fact one of the two largest manufacturers of aspartame.

It’s attributed to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.

How can you know which product is including aspartame? As the Aspartame Resource Center suggested, the aspartame can be found on the ingredients list, if it is included in the product. The FDA obligates the companies to list the aspartame if it is included in their products.

But, not every company lists it in its regular name, so you may find an ingredient called “phenylalanine”, which is actually an ingredient of aspartame. That product contains aspartame.

But you should be careful because of the tiny print on the most of the ingredient labels on the products. You can find aspartame where you never expected, like in the vitamins, or the liquid antibiotics or Metamucil.

The food industry which produces and sells this harmful product is controlling the government and the medical experts, and we shouldn’t expect any help from their side. The only thing you can do is to be more careful about the products you are buying for your children and your family, because that is the only way to protect your family and yourself from this harmful product.

Don’t forget to share and spread the word about aspartame, as sharing is caring!
