Book excerpt: Todd (kinesiology and health education, U. of Texas, Austin) discusses the diverse spectrum of women's exercise in the antebellum era-- especially exercise systems related to an ideal of womanhood--and the ways that purposive training influenced American women physically, intellectually, and emotionally.

Butler, Dio Lewis, and the phrenologist Orson S. Fowler. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Physical Culture in Amherst College Amherst College is very much indebted for the establishment of the department of Physical Culture to the deep interest and personal labors of its President At his inauguration in 1854, several pages of his discourse were occupied in showing the important relations that exist between the mind and the body; - that both should always be exercised in harmony with each other, and that no course of education was complete without devoting special attention to secure a good development and healthy state of the physical system. In his first report to the Trustees in 1855, upon the condition of the Institution, he says, "no one thing has demanded more of my anxious attention than the health of the students. The waning of the physical energies in the midway of the College course is almost the rule rather than the exception among us, and cases of complete breaking down are painfully numerous."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Physical Culture in Amherst College The second question was, in order to make these exercises successful and permanent, we must give them character. It was understood that, previously, gymnasiums, manual labor schools, and attempts at physical education generally had failed but there were good reasons for it. One was, the manner in which they had been carried on, was not adapted to develop and train the whole body in accordance with physiological laws. Another reason was, that not sufficient importance had been attached to this kind of education, by trustees and managers of institutions, by teachers, by the press and public opinion generally.

Download or read book Breathing Race into the Machine written by Lundy Braun and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2014-02-01 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How race became embedded in a medical instrument In the antebellum South, plantation physicians used a new medical device—the spirometer—to show that lung volume and therefore vital capacity were supposedly less in black slaves than in white citizens. At the end of the Civil War, a large study of racial difference employing the spirometer appeared to confirm the finding, which was then applied to argue that slaves were unfit for freedom. What is astonishing is that this example of racial thinking is anything but a historical relic. In Breathing Race into the Machine, science studies scholar Lundy Braun traces the little-known history of the spirometer to reveal the social and scientific processes by which medical instruments have worked to naturalize racial and ethnic differences, from Victorian Britain to today. Routinely a factor in clinical diagnoses, preemployment physicals, and disability estimates, spirometers are often “race corrected,” typically reducing normal values for African Americans by 15 percent. An unsettling account of the pernicious effects of racial thinking that divides people along genetic lines, Breathing Race into the Machine helps us understand how race enters into science and shapes medical research and practice.

This book was released on 2020-11-16 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book strives to unmask the racial inequity at the root of the emergence of modern physical culture systems in the US Progressive Era (1890s–1920s). This book focuses on physical culture – systematic, non-competitive exercise performed under the direction of an expert – because tracing how people practiced physical culture in the Progressive Era, especially middle- and upper-class white women, reveals how modes of popular performance, institutional regulation, and ideologies of individualism and motherhood combined to sublimate whiteness beneath the veneer of liberal progressivism and reform. The sites in this book give the fullest picture of the different strata of physical culture for white women during that time and demonstrate the unracialization of whiteness through physical culture practices. By illuminating the ways in which whiteness in the US became a default identity category absorbed into the “universal” ideals of culture, arts, and sciences, the author shows how physical culture circulated as a popular performance form with its own conventions, audience, and promised profitability. Finally, the chapters reveal troubling connections between the daily habits physical culturists promoted and the eugenics movement’s drive towards more reproductively efficient white bodies. By examining these written, visual, and embodied texts, the author insists on a closer scrutiny of the implicit whiteness of physical culture and forwards it as a crucial site of analysis for performance scholars interested in how corporeality is marshaled by and able to contest local and global systems of power.

Atwater Collection of rare books dealing with 'popular medicine' in early America which is housed at the University of Rochester Medical School library. The books described in the catalogue were written by physicians and other professionals to provide information for the non-medical audience. The books taught human anatomy, hygiene, temperance and diet, how to maintain health, and how to cope with illness especially when no professional help was available. The books promoted a healthy lifestyle for the readers, giving guidance on everything from physical fitness and recreation to the special health needs of women. The collection consists of works dealing with reproduction (from birth control to delivering and caring for a baby), venereal disease, home-nursing, epidemics, and the need for public sex education.
