The Physiology of Muscular Exercise

IT may reasonably be doubted whether any two physiologists would deal with the subject of muscular exercise along similar lines, nor is it desirable that this should be so, the subject being so complex and presenting so many different points of view. A comparison of the present volume with the writings of thirty years ago on the same subject is an instructive demonstration of the fact that physiology, as regards certain of its branches at least, has in the course of a generation reached a stage at which experimental results begin to show an integrative connection with problems of a broad and complex nature.The Physiology of Muscular Exercise.By Prof. F.
