Ich bin im Internet auf ein Buch übers Boxen von 1940 gestoßen:
Edward Haislet: Boxing.
Also das Buch ist ja 70 Jahre alt, daher ist wohl auch vieles überholt. Aber wie siehts mit Folgendem aus? Hier wird empfohlen, 24 h vorm Kampf dem Körper keine Flüssigkeit mehr zuzuführen:
Drying out—is abstinence from liquids for a period of twenty-four
hours before a bout. It is not a method of “making weight.” It is used to increase speed and endurance. A pound or so of weight will he lost in the process, but that is incidental and not the reason. Physiologi- cally, drying out is increased ionization of the body which means increased electric conduction of nervous energy. The body is like a storage battery It must have water to operate. In the body, as in the battery, there is a certain possible ionization. Up to a degree, the less water, the greater the ionization. The result is an increase in endurance, power, and speed.
It is advisable for all athletes to abstain from liquids twenty-four
hours before a contest. Thirst may be relieved by washing the mouth out, or by sticking a lemon. No actual liquid should be taken from
the time the drying out process starts until after the contest.
Making weight by the process of dehydration is not a desirable pro- cedure in any sport. Every person has a natural weight for best per- formance. This weight can be reached through regular conditioning methods. A weight other than that which is natural is detrimental to a boy’s health and should not be allowed. It defeats the whole educa- tional purpose of the activity. It is the game that is important, not the winning, and the individual rather than the activity, therefore be sure that every boy understands the purpose of dehydration
Klingt sehr, sehr strange.
