In 1937-1939, while working with my right hand as psychologist in the Bata Shoe Co. in Zlín, Moravia, with my left hand I was involved in research on age changes in body dimensions and profited from the interdisciplinary orientation of the (Czech) Biotypological Society, of which I was an active member. In 1941 I joined the Laboratory of Physiological Hygiene, a research and teaching unit in the School of Public Health of the University of Minnesota. My contributions ranged from philosophy of science through a broadly conceived physical anthropology, including nutritional anthropometry, to the study of behavior. I did field work both in Yugoslavia and in the United States. The research topics included aging, the effects of smoking, and etiology of coronary heart disease. In the collaborative monograph on The Biology of Human Starvation, I co-authored chapters on body weight, physical appearance and external dimension, body fat, a synthesizing chapter on compartments of the body, special senses, neuromuscular functions and motor performance, and seven chapters devoted to psychology.

1937年至1939年期间，我右手作为心理学家在摩拉维亚兹林的巴塔鞋业公司工作，左手则参与了身体尺寸随年龄变化的研究，并受益于（捷克）生物类型学协会的跨学科导向，我是该协会的活跃成员。1941年，我加入了明尼苏达大学公共卫生学院的生理卫生实验室，这是一个研究和教学单位。我的贡献涵盖了从科学哲学到广义的体质人类学，包括营养人体测量学，再到行为研究。我在南斯拉夫和美国都进行过实地研究。研究主题包括衰老、吸烟的影响以及冠心病的病因。在关于《人类饥饿生物学》的合作专著中，我共同撰写了关于体重、外貌和外部尺寸、身体脂肪、关于身体各部分的综合章节、特殊感官、神经肌肉功能和运动表现的章节，以及七章心理学内容。《美国人类生物学杂志》11:143 - 155，1999年。版权所有1999年威利 - 利斯公司。
