A.V. Hill

A.V. Hill was a British physiologist renowned for his research on how muscles produce energy during activity. He studied how muscles generate heat and fatigue, helping to explain the processes of exercise and muscle endurance. His work laid the foundation for understanding how energy is supplied in biological systems, influencing both sports science and medicine. Hill’s insights helped us grasp how muscles work under stress, leading to advances in physical training, rehabilitation, and understanding of muscular diseases. In 1922, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his groundbreaking contributions to physiology.
