DIETARY STUDY OF SANDOW, THE “STRONG 
MAN.”’ 
BY .C. F.-LANGWORTHY, PH. Di, AND GW. 7h eee 
——+e—_ 
The information regarding the diet of professional athletes 
is very limited. In 1870, dietary and metabolism experiments 
were made with the professional pedestrian, Weston.* He- 
walked 317% miles in five consecutive days, covering 92 miles 

* Austin Flint, Jr.: New York Medical Journal, 1871, p. 609. 

NotE.—This report of a dietary study, which is of especial interest on account 
of the very remarkable strength as well as the muscular activity of the subject, 
has been kindly furnished by the authors for publication in the present Report. 
The observations were made in Washington, D. C. The authors express their 
appreciation not only of the interest which Mr. Sandow manifested in the inves- 
tigations, but also of the kindness of the proprietor of the Hotel Regent and of 
Flarvey’s restaurant, where the observations were made. They also express the 
hope that it may be possible at some future time to make more extended and 
accurate experiments, which shall include the metabolism of the food consumed. 
For convenience in comparing with other dietaries studied by institutions coép- 
erating with the Department of Agriculture, this is designated as No. 179 of 
the series. WoO. A.
