The Graduate School of System Design and Management at Keio University and Kohoku Ward are working to enhance interest in sports and improve athletic ability in physical education classes at Yokohama City's Hiyoshidai Elementary School. Using equipment such as GNSS receivers compatible with GPS and the Quasi-Zenith Satellite "Michibiki," as well as drones, they are promoting improvement through video and data.
This fiscal year, the classes will make extensive use of video so that children can objectively understand their own athletic abilities and use this understanding for their next steps.
Additionally, with the full cooperation of the Keio Rugby Football Club (a general incorporated association), coaches from the Keio University Athletic Association Rugby Football Club will also participate, incorporating training methods from top athletes and verifying their effectiveness based on sports data.
Through this tag rugby initiative, we will build excitement from the local community for the Rugby World Cup 2019TM, which kicks off on September 20.
