Excerpt from On the Source of Muscular Power: Arguments and Conclusions Drawn From Observations Upon the Human Subjects, Under Rest of Rest and of Muscular Exercise A logical method of inquiry to apply to this question is to disturb the natural balance between ordinary muscular work and the quantity of food, bv increasing the work; then to calculate the ih come and outgo of matter and to ascertain, if pos sible, what is consumed in the production of force over and above that which can be accounted for by the food taken, assuming that this food is used either in repairing the muscular tissue consumed in the work or in the direct production of the work itself.
