On the Source of Muscular Power: Arguments and Conclusions Drawn From Observations Upon the Human Subjects, Under Rest of Rest and of Muscular Exercise (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This comprehensive book explores the relationship between food and the human body in terms of caloric intake versus muscle power. Breaking from traditional notions of the era, the author argues that the food humans eat is not the direct source of power for muscular action. Instead, the author postulates that muscular activity involves the destruction of muscle tissue and the subsequent need for repair of these tissues through nitrogenous elements. To support this view, the author presents physiological research studies conducted on humans under controlled conditions, such as intensive exercise, rest, and a variety of diet regimens. The results from these studies show that muscle exertion increases the production of nitrogen by the kidneys, indicating the breakdown of muscle tissue. The author concludes that muscle tissue is a living apparatus that consumes non-nitrogenous substances for energy, and that nitrogenous substances are used to repair muscle tissue. This groundbreaking work challenges the conventional understanding of how muscles function and provides a new perspective on the intricate relationship between food, exercise, and the human body.
