Descripción

11x8.5", 22 leaves. 1937. This seems to be a carbon copy of the typed original, with occasional hand-written annotations; the piece is on an onion-skin-like paper, and bound at the top with two rivets, and using a heavier blue paper as support at the end of the paper. __+__ Bohm (1890-1971, and at the time with the department of Physical Education and Athletics at Washington State College and an Osteopath) is widely recognized as one of the first athletic trainers to apply scientific and methods to sports training. He was also trainer for the Washington Redskins, NY Giant, Cincinnati Reds, Washington Senators, and St. Louis Cardinals. The paper offered here is the result of a survey and observations made by Bohm while a training official for the U.S. Olympic team during the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, having the U.S. athletes fill out forms and questionnaires regarding their diets and exercises. __+__ Provenance: the Library of Congress with a receipt date of March 8, 1937; it pencil on the back of the title it is noted that the paper was "trans. from Copyright" and received by the Library on October 5, 1938.__+__ Condition: overall in Very Good condition; the title has a few snags and chips and is dusted; there is also a "Surplus-1 Library of Congress Duplicate" stamp on the title/cover page. RARE--only one copy of some sort located via WorldCat/OCLC at Washington State University. __+__ Following the 1936 games, Dr. Wilbur Harrison Smith Bohm, a 1921 graduate of what was then the American School of Osteopathy of Kirksville, published How Champions Train: A Study of Research Problems and Physiological Experimentations on Olympic Athletes at Berlin. He did research on all the track and field competitors to see about their diet regimen and published it as some of the earliest research in sports medicine, said Jason Haxton, ATSU museum director. -- Jason Hunsicker, Kirksville Daily Express.
