Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Third Edition. 1915. Third English edition. xiv, 334pp. and 30 figures. Angelo Mosso (1846-1910) was an Italian physiologist and Professor of Physiology in the University of Turin. At the first International Congress of Physiologists in Basel, Switzerland, he discussed his findings on muscular fatigue while demonstrating the functioning of an ergograph (work recorder). Using tracings from the ergograph (concentric contractions of the flexor muscles of the middle finger that were volitionally or electrically stimulated), he was able to characterize muscle fatigue and to associate its occurrence with central or peripheral influences. He demonstrated that exercise would increase muscular strength and endurance while prolonging the occurrence of fatigue, which he postulated was a chemical process that involved the production of toxic substances such as carbonic acid. The phenomenon of contracture was described, and his collective studies led to the formulation of laws pertaining to exhaustion and to the publication in 1891 of La Fatica (Fatigue). The book is bound in the original blue cloth covered boards with gold titling on the spine. The case of the book is in very good condition with shelf wear and light soiling to the boards and dents near the middle of the top and fore edges of the front board. The titling on the spine is worn and indistinct and the spine ends are bumped. The contents are tight and clean with foxing to the free endpapers. There is no inscription.
