Exercise physiologists interested in human performance study human movement, fitness, and endurance; decide the limits and potential of human beings; and establish boundaries between what bodies count as natural versus unnatural or "enhanced." Tracking the rise of exercise physiology since the 1920s and following the transnational networks in which it is conducted today, this dissertation asks, how, in practice, do these scientists make knowledge about human beings, and what are the consequences of this knowledge as it travels? This multi-sited study unites archived and published sources with fourteen months of participant-observation and interviews conducted in (1) high-profile human performance laboratories in Cape Town, South Africa; Glasgow, Scotland; and Austin, Texas; and (2) Kenyan training camps for elite distance runners. Journeying through the worlds of science and sport, laboratories and mountains, World War II America and postcolonial Kenya, key themes of the project include the epistemologies of the human sciences, the lab-field dynamic, the relation between genetics and vestiges of racial science, the globalization of science, and the politics of the body. Demonstrating how science studies scholarship can break down binaries between science and society, the content of science and the context of science, and the global and the local, each chapter connects an aspect of the everyday experimental practice of exercise physiology to a broader historical, philosophical, or political context.
