Hygienic Investigations and Muscular Tests by Hough at MIT
Boston June 15 Professor Theodore Hough and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Biological department report experiments on muscular fatigue and mean blood pressure as part of public health and personal hygiene studies. The apparatus uses external pressure and a water jar to measure pulse-related pressure, while fatigue is tracked through controlled finger flexion and a spring-recorded gauge. Untrained muscles show rapid decline and delayed soreness, implying soreness is not fatigue. four days rest improves recovery, guiding gymnastic training and outdoor exercise benefits.
