For two years Frank
Katch chronicled the achievements of exercise-nutrition/science
history makers in these pages. Take a journey into the
past for a snapshot of the rich and exciting heritage
the founders of our discipline bequeathed to us. For other
history makers in exercise nutrition, refer to McArdle,
W.D., Katch, F.I., and Katch, V.L.. Sports and Exercise
Nutrition. Williams and Wilkins. Baltimore, 1999. See

INDEX
| Wilburn Olin Atwater |
| |
Wilbur
Olin Atwater
(1844-1907). His
pioneering metabolic studies helped shape the emerging science
of human nutrition and exercise..
Jan-Mar 99
|
| William Beaumont |
| |
William
Beaumont (1785-1853) revolutionized
concepts about digestion. Mar-Apr 98
|
| Francis Gano Benedict |
| |
Francis
Gano Benedict (1870-1957)
investigated effects of diet, temperature regulation, and exercise
on metabolism. May-June 98
|
| Claude Bernard |
| |
Claude
Bernard (1813-1878), one
of the greatest experimental physiologists of all time, made crucial
discoveries that impacted medicine, nutrition, and exercise science.
March-April 97
|
| Russel Henry Chittenden |
| |
Russel
Henry Chittenden (1856-1943),
influenced future research in nutrition and exercise physiology
with experiments on low protein diets. Sept-Oct 98
|
| Archibald Vivian Hill |
| |
Physiologist
A.V. Hill (1886-1977),
wins Nobel Prize for crucial discoveries about chemical and mechanical
events in muscle contraction. May-June 97
|
| Frederick Gowland Hopkins |
| |
Frederick
Gowland Hopkins (1861-1947),
winner of Nobel Prize, pioneered studies in nutritional biochemistry
and experimental physiology. July-Aug 98
|
| August Krogh |
| |
August
Krogh (1874-1949), winner
of Nobel Prize, conducts studies in exercise physiology. The inaugural
profile in this series by Frank Katch. January-February 97
|
| Antoine Laurent Lavoisier |
| |
Antoine
Laurent Lavoisier (1743-1794),
paved the way for future studies in metabolism, nutrition and
exercise physiology. Jan-Feb 98
|
| Justus von Liebig |
| |
Justus
von Liebig (1803-1873).
This reknowned chemist advocated protein for exercise, but human
experiments disproved his assertions. Nov-Dec 98
|
James Lind |
|
James
Lind (1716-1794), carried
out a decisive experiment that changed the course of naval medicine.
By adding fresh fruit to sailors' diets, Lind fortified their
immune systems and defeated scurvy. Sept-Oct 97
|
Santorio Santorio |
|
Santorio Santorio (1561-1636) was a friend of Galileo. He used innovative mechanisms for his research and inspired later researchers in metabolism. Mar-Apr 98
|
| Edward Smith |
| |
Edward
Smith (1819-1874), used
closed-circuit spirometry to show that protein was not the main
fuel for exercise. Nov-Dec 97
