Journal Title: CITIUS ALTIUS FORTIUS - JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND SPORT - Year 2010, Vol 27, Issue 2
Abstract
In the beginning of the 20th century, sports consisted in a minimum amount of physical activity. It was generally considered as dangerous and unhealthy because it encouraged people to push their limits too far. The medical profession used to advise teenagers against doing any sport, for fear that they would become too tired and, as a result, their bodies would not develop properly (Arnaud, 1980; Defrance, 2003). Nevertheless, during this period, some doctors became interested in sports. Some were former sportsmen, others had worked for the army (Pociello, 1999) which was involved in research to improve the physical skills of their soldiers. They observed that the body was a wonderful product of nature. Those doctors took photos to decompose the movements of the body and to understand how it worked. Hobberman (1992) showed that there was a radical change in the 30’s when physicians began to work with sportsmen.
