"ATHL"TIC LUNG " is a medicsi term used to designn'e the abnormal development of lurg possessed by some athletes. The end'ti-n is produced by those forms of exercise that call for the constant use of the lungs at their highest " nawer. The result is an enormous deveinoment of lung capacity. Such men, upon giving ep hair active athletics and taking to entry pursuits, are peculiarly subject to pulmonary complaints. The over-developed. lung is only ared in part and the uno ed cells easily fill a prey to disease. When once en athletic lung has been restored to health the wird physician forbids any violent athletics on the part of the natient, for a second attack is likely to be followed by collapse.
