Excerpt from On the Source of Muscular Power: Arguments and Conclusions Drawn From Observations Upon the Human Subjects, Under Rest of Rest and of Muscular Exercise
A logical method of inquiry to apply to this question is to disturb the natural balance between ordinary muscular work and the quantity of food, bv increasing the work; then to calculate the ih come and outgo of matter and to ascertain, if pos sible, what is consumed in the production of force over and above that which can be accounted for by the food taken, assuming that this food is used either in repairing the muscular tissue consumed in the work or in the direct production of the work itself. If it can be shown by such a method of inquiry that excessive and prolonged muscular work consumes a certain amount of muscular tissue, it then becomes a question whether such work involve processes of destruction and nutrition of muscular substance, differing in kind as well as in degree from those which take place in ordinary muscular effort. But I shall not attempt here to prejudge any of the questions that will be involved in the discussion of the facts that I have at my command.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. 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.
