  • Lucien Antoine Maurice Brouha (26 October 1899 – 6 October 1968) was a Belgian rower who later became a notable exercise physiologist in the United States. He won three medals (one silver and two bronze) at European Rowing Championships between 1921 and 1924. He attended the 1924 Paris Olympics but his team was eliminated in the repechage. In his early medical career, he helped develop an early pregnancy test at the University of Liège. From the 1930s, his academic interest shifted towards exercise physiology. Between 1934 and the outbreak of World War II, Brouha travelled on scholarships on several occasions to conduct research at universities in the United States. Having been a prisoner of war during World War I, he left Belgium for Paris due to increasing tension with Nazi Germany in early 1940. Later in 1940, Brouha relocated to Harvard University, Massachusetts. At Harvard, he focused on military research for the United States Army. He is best known for developing the Harvard step test (HST), a simple fitness test first used by the Army but later also used for civilian purposes. His academic career finished in 1944 when he moved to a large industrial employer in Canada, where he helped shape the field of occupational ergonomics. (en)
