</mods:physicalDescription>
<mods:abstract>This is a short film of experiments conducted by Dr. Peter V. Karpovich. The film shows two men walking. One man wears a backpack with most of the weight up on the shoulders, the other wears a backpack with most of the weight on the lower back. In both, the men have little dots on their knees, hips, shoulders and ankles and they are walking on a treadmill in front of graph with numbers on it. The film is not dated, though these experiments may have been conducted when Dr. Karpovich served as the Chief of the Laboratory of Physical Fitness at the School of Aviation Medicine, Army Air Force. He held this position from 1941-1945. The film is a digital copy of the original 16mm black and white silent film. There are no markings on the reel.</mods:abstract>
<mods:note>Peter V. Karpovich (1896-1975) was born in Russia and trained as a medical doctor at the State Military Academy of Medicine in Petrograd (St. Petersburg), Russia in 1919. Under increasing political and professional turmoil, he fled to Latvia in 1922. In Latvia, Karpovich worked at the Riga YMCA. In 1925, he traveled to the United States to research at Springfield College. While there, he enrolled as a special advanced student and earned a master’s degree in physical education. In 1927, while completing his studies, he became a professor of physiology at the college. In the late 1940s, he met and married his second wife, Josephine Rathbone, an acclaimed scholar of physical education and relaxation. From 1961 to 1969, he served as the director of the physiology research laboratory at Springfield College, where he published several seminal books. Karpovich was a founding member of the American College of Sports Medicine and a consultant to many government, private and educational organizations. He remains an internationally recognized pioneer in physical education.</mods:note>
