Exercise physiology is studying the tissue and cellular responses during the increased muscular activity.
Three scientists who won the Nobel prizes for research on muscle or muscular tissue are, A.V. Hill of Britain, August Krogh of Denmark, and Otto Meyerhof of Germany.
A.V. Hill of Britain won Noble prize in 1922, studied energy metabolism in isolated frog muscle. He also conducted physiological studies on runners for the first time.
August Krogh of Denmark had won Nobel Prize in 1920 for discovering the mechanism controlling the capillary blood flow in the resting muscle. The study also liked exercise physiology with nutrition and metabolism. He was also a great teacher and trained several number of exercise physiologists from Europe, and United states.
Otto Meyerhof of Germany received Noble prize in 1922 in Physiology with A.V. Hill. He worked on determining the relationship of oxygen (O₂ ) consumption and lactic acid production in muscle tissue.
