TL;DR: The most widely recognized contributions of the Greek period were the Hippocratic codification of health professionals and the establishment of inter-city Games such as the Olympiad as mentioned in this paper, which quickly became corrupted by the award of major prizes, with the modern problems of age classification, doping, etc.

TL;DR: It is argued that there is a need to develop standards for the operation of whirlpools and that individuals with a history of epilepsy should not be allowed to use such facilities unless closely supervised.

TL;DR: A simple 9-min progressive cycle ergometer test revealed exercise-induced bronchospasm in 23 of 29 asthmatic subjects in terms of a 15% decrement in the isovolume forced expiratory flow rate at 50% of the baseline vital capacity (Vmax iso 50%VC), and seems a very suitable procedure for routine clinical use.

TL;DR: In this article, it is argued that the study of such individuals can provide important information regarding responses to exercise by nondisabled people, such as central versus peripheral limitation of oxygen transport, contribution of muscle pumping to venous return during vigorous exercise, the contribution of sympathetic innervation to aerobic training responses, the ceiling of muscle fiber hypertrophy, the functional demands of daily living, and responsiveness of young children to exercise.
