During an international chess championship tournament in Munich, 14 participants were thoroughly investigated physically in order to find out generally the psychological maximum stress and the autonomic excitability as well as the circulatory conditions during the individual games and to study the metabolic load during the 18 day tournament. Eight of the eleven players who participated in the blood determinations showed at least once during the competition marginal to increased cholesterol levels. In their general physical capacity, their autonomic excitability and their circulatory parameters during the competition the chess players were completely comparable to other sportsmen of the "light athletics" class, so that chess can also rightly be called a class of sport according to these criteria.
在慕尼黑举行的一场国际象棋锦标赛期间，对14名参赛者进行了全面的身体检查，以总体了解个人比赛期间的心理最大压力、自主神经兴奋性以及循环状况，并研究为期18天的比赛期间的代谢负荷。参与血液检测的11名选手中，有8人在比赛期间至少有一次胆固醇水平处于临界值至升高状态。在比赛期间，国际象棋选手的总体身体能力、自主神经兴奋性和循环参数与“轻竞技”类别的其他运动员完全可比，因此根据这些标准，国际象棋也完全可以被称为一类运动。
