 III. EXPERIMENTS WITH UNIVERSITY
STUDENTS, TRAINED IN ATHLETICS.
Men in training for athletic events deem it necessary to consume large
amounts of proteid food. Great muscular activity, it is true, calls for the
expenditure of corresponding amounts of energy, but it is by no means
clear that the energy so liberated comes from the breaking down of
proteid material. Indeed, there is more reason for believing that the
energy of muscular contraction comes primarily from the oxidation of
non-nitrogenous matter. Nevertheless, custom and long experience
sanction a high proteid diet, composed largely of meat or of other
foodstuffs rich in nitrogen, for the development of that vigor and strength
that go to make the accomplished athlete. For the development of new
muscle tissue, to make two muscle fibres where before only one existed,
to increase the number of available fibres, thereby adding to the bulk of
the active tissue, a certain amount of proteid food is absolutely
necessary, just as it is for all active tissues and organs of the body. But
that this fact constitutes a satisfactory reason for the daily use of such
quantities of proteid food as usually enter into the diet of the average
athlete is very questionable.
As an illustration of the character of the diet frequently made use of by
men doing prolonged muscular work, I may quote a few figures from an
article by Professor W. O. Atwater[41] and H. C. Sherman on “The effect
of severe and prolonged muscular work upon Food consumption,
Digestion, and Metabolism,” in which are recorded observations made
upon several professional bicycle riders during a six-day race. On one
day subject “M” rode 334.1 miles, consuming for food on that day meat
extract, 311 grams; milk, 4937 grams; bread, 35 grams; boiled cereals,
877 grams; pastry, 142 grams; sugar, 53 grams; fruit, 2003 grams. His
urine for the day contained 46.2 grams of nitrogen, corresponding to the
metabolism of 288.7 grams of proteid matter. Subject “A” on one day
rode 352.7 miles, taking as food, meat, 149 grams; meat extract, 24
grams; broth, 283 grams; eggs, 369 grams; butter, 78 grams; milk, 142
grams; malted milk, 78 grams; jelly, 213 grams; soup, 191 grams; bread,
361 grams; boiled cereal, 532 grams; sugar, about 400 grams; fruit, 933
grams; cocoa wine, 198 grams. His day’s urine contained 39.0 grams of
nitrogen, corresponding to the metabolism of 243.7 grams of proteid
material.
Obviously, if such high proteid metabolism as these figures imply is a
necessary concomitant of vigorous or excessive muscular activity, then a
rich proteid diet is needed to make good the loss of nitrogen to the body;
but we are more inclined to believe that the large quantity of nitrogen
excreted was the result chiefly of the high proteid ration, and only in
small measure connected with the work done. With a sufficiency of non-
nitrogenous food, the energy of muscular contraction does not come in
any large degree from the breaking down of proteid matter, and there
would seem to be no adequate reason for assuming a necessity for such
rich and excessive proteid diet as athletes in training ordinarily adopt.
Yet the contrary view is almost universally held and followed. As a
prominent trainer said to the writer not long ago, “if the men are not fed
on a rich meat diet and plenty of it, they will grow soft and lose their
strength.”
With a view to testing some of these points and thereby broaden the
scope of the investigation and enhance the value of the study, a group of
eight students in the University, all trained athletes, was secured. These
men volunteered to aid in the study, and at considerable self-sacrifice
gave intelligent and hearty co-operation in all ways possible. The men
were under observation from January 15, 1904, to the middle of June,
1904, a period of five months. From January 15 the urine was collected
daily, and for a period of ten days the regular diet of the men was
adhered to without any deviation whatever, with a view to ascertaining
the extent of the proteid metabolism characteristic of each individual. No
restrictions whatever in diet were suggested, but the ordinary food that
the men were accustomed to eat while in training was taken. After this
period the men were instructed to diminish somewhat the intake of
proteid food, and in following out this plan most of the men diminished
quite appreciably the quantity of food consumed at breakfast time, and in
some cases stopped taking food of any kind at breakfast other than a
cereal, with possibly coffee. No specific diet was imposed, but the men,
being willing collaborators in the experiment, gradually cut down the
intake of proteid food, diminishing likewise in considerable measure the
total volume of food for the twenty-four hours.
 STAPLETON

Photograph taken in the middle of the experiment, in April.

The following brief description of the men, taken from Dr. Anderson’s
report of their physical condition, to be referred to later, will suffice to
make clear the characteristics (as athletes) of these subjects of study:
Mr. G. W. Anderson is a foot-ball, base-ball, and basket-ball player, as
well as a crew man (not Varsity). Well built and an all round athlete. 26.5
years of age.
 Mr. W. L. Anderson, a “Y” athlete (hurdler), the captain of the Yale
Gymnastic Team, University Gymnastic Champion, and American
Collegiate Gymnastic Champion. 21.5 years of age.
Mr. H. S. Bellis, a member of the Y. G. A., a gymnast and acrobat and
in constant training. 26 years of age.
Dr. W. H. Callahan, Medical Assistant at the Gymnasium, in daily
practice in the gymnasium; bowling, hand-ball, and running. 27 years of
age.
Mr. M. Donahue, a very muscular and versatile athlete, a foot-ball
player and a Varsity basket-ball player. 25 years of age.
Mr. C. S. Jacobus, a “Y” athlete, a noted long-distance man, and one
of the best University runners. 22.3 years of age.
Mr. H. R. Schenker, an active member of the Y. G. A., a point winner
and intercollegiate competitor in gymnastics. 22 years of age.
Mr. John Stapleton, a wrestler and gymnast. A professional, a man of
large body and great strength. 24 years of age.
The results of the daily study of the twenty-four hours’ urine of each
man for the entire period of five months are to be found in the
accompanying tables. By a careful inspection of these data many
interesting facts are brought to light. First it is to be observed, in
harmony with what has already been stated regarding athletes, that the
men, as a rule, were accustomed to the taking of large amounts of proteid
food daily. Thus, during the preliminary period of ten days, Dr. Callahan
excreted through the kidneys 22.79 grams of nitrogen as the daily
average, corresponding to the metabolism of 142 grams of proteid matter
per day, while on one day the nitrogen excretion reached the high figure
of 31.99 grams, corresponding practically to the metabolism of 200
grams of proteid material.
G. W. Anderson, during the preliminary period of ten days—on his
ordinary diet—showed an average daily excretion of 17.18 grams of
nitrogen. W. L. Anderson in this same period excreted on an average
18.22 grams of nitrogen per day, while on one day the excretion reached
23.42 grams of nitrogen. Bellis showed an average daily excretion of
17.64 grams of nitrogen during this same fore period, while Stapleton
excreted nitrogen at an average rate of 19.7 grams per day, thus
indicating an average daily metabolism of 123 grams of proteid matter
on his ordinary diet. With such data before us it is quite clear that we
have here, as expected, a group of sturdy men accustomed to the taking
of large amounts of proteid food daily; men who clearly believed that
their strength and bodily vigor depended in large measure upon the
ingestion and utilization of these quantities of proteid food.
After the termination of this preliminary period, the men began to
diminish the amount of albuminous food. In doing this they were at first
given perfect freedom, each man following his own preferences, and
making such alterations in his diet as he saw fit. The men were instructed
as to the chemical composition of the various foodstuffs, so that they had
a general idea of what foods were rich in nitrogen and could act
accordingly. Some of the men cut down their intake of proteid food very
rapidly, others made more gradual reduction. Some soon eliminated
breakfast almost entirely. Others reduced the amount of food at each
meal. Some of the men eliminated meat almost completely from their
diet, and increased largely the intake of vegetable food. They were all
advised, however, not to make too sudden a change in their diet, but to
adopt a gradual reduction in the daily food as being less liable to disturb
their physiological equilibrium. Naturally, the men knew exactly how
much of a reduction in proteid food they were accomplishing each week,
from the results of the chemical analysis of the urine. Further, the record
of body-weight furnished evidence of how far the changes in diet were
affecting body equilibrium, while their own feelings and ability to do
their daily work constituted a check upon a too radical change in living.
Careful perusal of the tables will show how far body-weight was
changed, and to how great an extent proteid metabolism was reduced
during the five months of the experiment.
