As support for his beliefs that aerobic exercise is not essential for optimal health (or optimal performance in most sports), Charles Poliquin often cited Dr. Henry Solomon\u2019s book, The Exercise Myth<\/i>. His first reference was in his book, Manly Weight Loss<\/i>, published in 1998. Dr. Henry Solomon graduated from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1962, and his cardiology fellowship at New York Hospital-Cornell University Medical Center. In 1969 he opened a private practice in New York City and became a columnist and editor for numerous medical organizations. One of his goals was to encourage physicians to recognize the medical problems associated with obesity, treating it as a disease.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Solomon\u2019s education and experience in cardiology led him to publish The Exercise Myth <\/i>in 1984. He wrote the book for a general audience, and its popularity resulted in Solomon making appearances on mainstream television shows, including Oprah Winfrey, Donahue, 20\/20, and Face the Nation. Solomon\u2019s book also attracted the attention of Dr. Kenneth Cooper, a champion of aerobic exercise nicknamed \u201cThe Father of Aerobics,\u201d who he debated on Nightline in 1986. The premise of The Exercise Myth <\/i>is being able to perform physical work was no guarantee of cardiovascular health and that stress tests had little value in predicting cardiovascular disease. Solomon\u2019s ideas paralleled Poliquin, who emphasized the influence of other factors, especially diet, in dealing with the absence of disease in the heart and blood vessels. In Manly Weight Loss <\/i>and later the German Body Comp Program <\/i>(2006), Poliquin wrote that many cardiovascular benefits of aerobic exercise, such as helping to control blood pressure, could be achieved with weight training. Poliquin eventually participated in several projects with Mark Houston, MD. Houston founded the Hypertension Institute in 1995 and wrote many medical textbooks on heart disease, including books for the general population about heart disease, such as What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Heart Disease<\/i>.
