Severo Ochoa de Albornoz (1905-1993) who was honored with the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine (in 1959) together with his disciple Arthur Kornberg (whose son Roger David Kornberg won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2006), felt great love of athletics . Although he did not practice it as much as he would like, he was a follower of it. He even said that one of his unfulfilled dreams was to have participated in the Olympics.
Scientists not very athletic
Not all scientists are sports lovers. In contrast, geniuses like the father of science fiction and professor of biochemistry, Isaac Asimov, not only hated sports but did not even know how to ride a bicycle. He also suffered from agoraphobia, so his fear of open or uncovered spaces led him to spend a lot of time in rooms without windows.
