French
physician Fernand Lagrange (1845-1909) emphasized the great value of
physical exercises and stated: “The application of physical exercises
is not sufficiently guided by physiological notions.” In this way he
actually started with a primary form of ‘Sports Medicine’. He was convinced
that physical development begins with the development of the lungs and that a
breathing test is the best way to determine the value of an exercise. As an
expert of the ministry, he traveled to Sweden, Germany, Switzerland and Austria
to study different methods.
Some of his most important works:
Physiologie des
exercises du corps (Physiology of body exercises) (1888)
L’hygiène de
l’exercice chez les enfants et les jeunes gens (Exercise hygiene in
children and young people) (1890)
Réflexion sur la
réforme de l’éducation physique (Reflection on the Reform of Physical
Education) (1892)
La méditation par
l’exercice (Meditation by Exercise) (1894)
Les mouvements
méthodiques de la mécanothérapie (The methodical movements of
mechanotherapy) (1899)
