• Hill’s early experiments investigated the effects of electrical stimulation on nerve function, mechanical efficiency of muscle, energy processes in muscle during recovery, the interaction between oxygen and hemoglobin.
• Hill combined aspects of physics and biology, a discipline he championed as biophysics.
