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.
