Proof that the changes in circulation, blood analysis, and respiration induced by violent exercise are directly connected with length of exercise, training, and lung capacity was revealed yesterday by Dr. L. J. Henderson '98, Professor of Biological Chemistry in Harvard University. Experiments on Clarence de Mar, the famous marathon runner, and other athletes and non-athletes, made by having them alternately run on a treadmill and lic still on a couch, show that the athlete's blood changes less than that of the ordinary man in motion. The acidosis of De Mar's blood remained static while running...
