James Naismith was not a medical doctor; he held a degree in physical education and was a professor at the University of Kansas. His background in physical education and his focus on athletic training contributed to his development of Basketball as a means to keep students physically active during the winter months. Naismith's emphasis on sports and physical fitness was rooted in his desire to promote health and well-being, which aligns with the principles of medicine, but he was primarily an educator and coach.
