THE ATHLETES HEART.
In the Rowing Man II II strong and
Well ncvciopeh.


A prominent member OF the faculty
of the University OF Pennsylvania Med
ical school has made a study Of the
heart action of athletes. lie has ex-
amined large number OF men I'm ath-
letics. especially rowing men, and he
has come to the conclusion that no man
in perfect health who has been proper
~ trained Is injured by rowing. but
that. on the contrary, his heart is so
strengthened that. with moderate
amount OF exercise after he has finish.
ed his rowing career. there Is no rea-
son. SO far as the heart and lungs are
concerned. that he should not live to a
very old age
"The heart" said he. "is both n very
delicate and very strong organ-that
is, IL II Is well developed II will stand
an enormous amount OF strain without
any permanent injury, but II it is not
well developed It IL very easily weak
ened. Violent exercise, like rowing,
places a great deal Of strain ON the
heart because when the body is being
exerted IL requires so much more pres
sure to force the blood through the
body. Like any other muscle that is
worked, the heart under the added la
Dor becomes larger, and most athletes
have extra large hearts, just as they
also have larger muscles throughout
the body.
"If the strain is put upon the heart
suddenly II dilates-it becomes larger,
but not more muscular-and that is the
danger In athletics. If man exercises
gradually then his heart also increases
In size gradually because the muscles
become larger, and this is n perfectly
normal condition. 1t simply means
that the athlete has a stronger heart
than the average and can cope with
the extra strain that is put upon IL. A
man needs larger heart TO row a
race, and II gradual exercise has so
provided him with one then he can
safely undergo the most severe tests.
ut is the same way with the lungs.
and they must be developed gradually
until they can undertake the extra
work. A man with his heart and lungs
well developed is in no danger no mat
ter how hard the race. He may COM
pletely keel over at the end Of the race,
but 1t will likely be from sheer exhaus-
ton, and his heart is so strong that the
effect is not at all injurious. He will
be as good as ever in a few moments"
