| description | The history of exercise science research has undergone relatively little
examination, and exercise science students receive little education about the
field’s history. Photographs are tools that lecturers and writers can use to
educate audiences about history. Yet, no resource exists that tells educators
where they can find photographs of individuals participating in early studies
about exercise or related topics (e.g., physical education, physical
medicine). Here, the aim was to identify papers published before 1980 that
contain photographs of boys and men participating in studies about exercise or
related topics, aggregate the papers into a bibliometric list, and describe the
photographs. The current research focused on boys and men to give male
experiences and contributions their own space for acknowledgement. The entire
digital archives of Journal of Applied Physiology (1948–1979), Medicine and
Science in Sports (1969–1979) and Research Quarterly (1930–1979) were searched.
Papers published in other journals (e.g., Physical Therapy) were
identified via searches of personal digital files from previous historical work.
A total of 304 papers were identified. Of these papers, 44.1% were published in
Research Quarterly. The earliest paper was published in 1894. The papers included
733 photographs of male participants (46 boys, 475 men), with some males
appearing in multiple photographs. Of the 304 papers, 49.0% and 27.3% were
classified as research primarily on neuromuscular and cardiorespiratory outcomes,
respectively. Educators can use the bibliometric list to identify photographs to
include in lectures and writings about the history of exercise science and the
contributions made by male research participants. |
