Study Notes

History of Medicine and Exercise Physiology

Ancient Greek physicians like Sushruta and Herodicus recognized obesity as a disease and emphasized the importance of diet and exercise.
Hippocrates is considered the "father" of modern medicine, emphasizing the importance of a healthy lifestyle.
Claudius Galen, an influential physician, taught the "laws of health" including proper diet, exercise, and emotional control.
During the Renaissance, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Vesalius made significant contributions to anatomical understanding and medical knowledge.
William Harvey discovered the continuous circulation of blood, challenging previous dogmas and church doctrines.
Claude Bernard discovered the liver's internal secretion of glucose and the effect of carbon monoxide on erythrocyte respiration.
Scandinavian scientists like August Krogh and Johannes Lindhard pioneered studies on gas exchange in the lungs and blood flow redistribution during exercise.
Drs. Jonas Bergtrom, Erik Hultman, and Martti Karvonen made important contributions to exercise physiology and heart rate prediction.
Exercise physiology involves understanding homeostasis, stress, exercise, training, and the body's response to different exercise intensities.
Training adaptation leads to physiological changes that promote optimal functioning, as seen in the resting and maximal heart rates after a 6-month training period.
The concept of exercise intensity, as categorized into light, moderate, heavy, very heavy, maximal, and supramaximal, influences the body's response.
The text discusses the characteristics of training subjects, dose-response in energy expenditure, and the impact of exercise on mortality rates, emphasizing the importance of physical activity in reducing the risk of death.
