Development of the Field of Exercise Physiology

• Historical Pioneers and Leaders
• Development of the field

4
European Heritage

• Archibald Vivian Hill
• "for his discovery relating to the production of
  heat in the muscle"

5
European Heritage

• August Krogh of Denmark - Kroghs research on
  capillary circulation as well as being known for
  designing a considerable amount of
  instrumentation used in exercise physiology
  research a precise gas analyzer to measure
  carbon dioxide within 0.001 and a precision
  balance to weigh human subjects within a few
  grams. The August Krogh Institute is a very
  prominent exercise physiology laboratory in the
  world.

6
European Heritage

• Otto Fritz Meyerhof
• "for his discovery of the fixed relationship
  between the consumption of oxygen and the
  metabolism of lactic acid in the muscle"

7
Additional European Scientists

• J.S. Haldane - original work on the role of
  carbon dioxide in the control of breathing
• C.G. Douglas - worked with Haldane
• Christian Bohr - oxygen binding with hemoglobin
• Otto Frank Henry Starling of Britain -
  cardiovascular blood flow

8
United States History

• Harvard Fatigue Laboratory (1927-1947) - studied
  industrial hazards/how different employment
  condition affected the body
• Dr. Bruce David Dill directed lab for 20 years -
  noted for his environmental work with heat and
  environmental physiology
• Other U.S. Physiologists
• John Holloszy, Phil Gollnick, Charles Tipton,
  Frank Booth, Ron Terjung,

9
Contemporary Exercise Physiologists

• Costill - Ball State University (Fiber Type
  Metabolism)-retired (1999)
• Coyle - Univ. of Texas (CHO metabolism)
• Kraemer - UCONN (Muscle Endrocrine/Training)
• Blair, Bouchard, Clarkson, Poehlman, Goodyear,
  Pate, Wilmore, Haskell, Evans, etc.

10
Relevance of Physiology

• Understanding the functioning of the body during
  exercise is a primary responsibility of each
  exercise physiologist, physical educator, coach,
  and health science professional (Brooks, 2000)
• More and more diverse populations - new
  populations interested in assuming an active
  lifestyle and participating in competitive sports
  (Brooks, 2000)

11
Exercise Physiology

• According to George Brooks (UC Berkeley)
• A branch of physiology that deals with
  functioning of the body during exercise.
• We shall see definite physiological responses to
  exercise influenced by a number of factors
  intensity, duration frequency of exercise
  other factors such as the environment, diet, and
  current training status
