EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library captures a moment in history when London athletes were seen preparing for their exercise by breathing oxygen. The year was 1909, and this unique practice was believed to improve their performance in sports and athletics. In the image, we see the athletes wearing masks connected to tubes that supply them with oxygen. This innovative technique was thought to enhance their endurance and stamina during training sessions or competitions. It's fascinating to witness how athletes in the past explored different methods to push their physical limits and achieve better results. The historical significance of this photograph lies in its portrayal of early attempts at utilizing technology to optimize athletic performance. It serves as a reminder of how far sports science has come since then, with modern advancements revolutionizing training methods and techniques. As we admire this snapshot from over a century ago, we are reminded of the dedication and commitment that athletes have always shown towards improving themselves. Their willingness to experiment with new ideas, such as breathing oxygen before exercise, showcases their relentless pursuit of excellence on the field or track. Overall, this print is not just a visual representation of London athletes preparing for competition; it's also a testament to the enduring spirit of athleticism throughout history.
