Excerpt from The Effects of Training: A Study of the Harvard University Crews

Of these twelve men all had done considerable pre vions rowing in their class crews or in the Weld crews. Four had rowed on former Varsity crews and one had been a substitute. Several had begun rowing in preparatory schools. Six out of the twelve had played football and two had practised running. The period of active training for these sports had been from two to six years, so that all the men may fairly be called trained athletes, and the changes effected by training would not be expected to be as marked as in the case of inexperienced men.
