#regram from @nytarchives | Beachgoers exercised on the sands of Ocean City, New Jersey, in August 1933. Elmer E. Unger — seen kneeling at the bottom of this picture taken by one of our photographers — was leading the group in the “daily dozen,” a set of calisthenics prescribed by Walter Camp in 1919. Advertisements that ran in @ニューヨーク・タイムズ in the following years claimed that Walter, a Yale football coach, “took a tip from a tiger” to devise the exercise plan. According to the ads, he went to the @bronxzoo, watched a tiger and “observed that the big cat was always stretching and turning and twisting his body.” And so the “daily dozen” was born, purportedly from Walter’s study of stretching animals. So, did it work? In January 1933, we reported that a study of 124 physical directors throughout the U.S. found “little value in the ‘daily dozen.’” In a questionnaire, they were asked to rank 30 sports and athletics by their psychological, safety, recreational and physical development values. Calisthenics came in 29th on the list, just before marching, which was last. #? #tbt
