Takumasa Anno is a physiotherapist and trainer who writes about research on resistance training and sports nutrition. He holds a doctorate in medicine. After completing graduate school, he worked in a university hospital rehabilitation centre, supporting people with injuries or illnesses as well as athletes. Alongside clinical work, he presented research and wrote papers to bring scientific findings into training practice. Writing under the pen name Takumasa Anno, he established the blog “Rehabilimemo” to introduce studies on exercise and nutrition. His 2019 book “Kagakuteki ni Tadashii Kintore: Saikyo no Kyokasho” organized findings from sports science, medicine, and psychology around muscle growth, strength development, training design, protein intake, and adherence. In “Kagakuteki ni Tadashii Diet: Saiko no Kyokasho” (2021), he considered weight management through the interaction of sleep, food choices, and exercise rather than through dietary restriction alone, explaining research on both weight loss and health. In 2026, he published “Kagakuteki ni Tadashii Kintore Taizen,” a substantially revised and expanded edition of his first training book. It distinguished increasing muscle size from improving strength and arranged its discussion into nine themes, including conditioning, exercise technique, nutrition, supplements, ageing, and maintaining a training routine. Drawing on research accumulated since the earlier edition, it updated its treatment of protein and calorie intake, dieting, and training in middle and later life.
