Hisashi Naito, PhD
Full profile
Relationship statement: King Brand utilized the individual's work in the development of our products and treatments. The study and all the professional's work was independent of King Brand - they did not work for us, nor were they compensated by us - it is truly independent. King Brand has relied on the results of this study, this individual's work, and the work and studies of others in the development of our medical solutions.
Identity and Disambiguation
Disambiguated from multiple Japanese namesakes: the study's "Naito H" is the Juntendo University exercise physiologist. He is the only "Naito H" in the study's co-author web - 29 co-authored papers with Ichinoseki-Sekine N (2008-2026) plus a 22-paper extended cluster with Katamoto S (2005-2022) - while other "Naito H" namesakes (emergency medicine, oncology, cardiovascular surgery) share zero co-authors with this cluster.
Career Timeline (Verified)
- Graduate School of Health and Sports Science, Juntendo University, Chiba, Japan - explicit affiliation string on PMID 42528121 (2026); the Juntendo Institute of Health and Sports Science & Medicine is the affiliation center of his co-author web since the early 2000s (cluster papers PMIDs 16324224 (2005), 17224440 (2007), 21222186 (2011)).
- Co-authored extensively with Scott K. Powers (University of Florida) and Takao Sugiura on heat-shock-protein and muscle-biology research (PMIDs 18367652, 25059237, 26384411).
- Caveat: his PhD institution and year are not stated in machine-fetchable sources (the OpenAlex and AOR Japan profile pages are bot-blocked) - unverified - omitted.
Achievements and Standing (Verified)
- Bibliometrics (OpenAlex, as of 2026-09-03): 520 indexed works, over 7,000 citations, h-index 44.
- Long research focus on heat stress and skeletal muscle: heat-shock protein responses to exercise (PMIDs 16324224, 17224440 "Microwave hyperthermia treatment increases heat shock proteins in human skeletal muscle", 21222186 "Heat stress enhances mTOR signaling after resistance exercise", 30304029); heat stress protecting against ventilator-induced diaphragm atrophy (PMIDs 25059237, 26384411); and exercise genomics (muscle fiber composition polymorphisms, PMIDs 29345962, 34728329).
- Still publishing with the same group in 2026 (PMIDs 42528121, 41340603) and active in applied sports-science reviews (IRONMAN triathlon scoping review, 2026, OpenAlex record).
