Josef Nöcker

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Josef Nöcker (born October 18, 1919 in Düsseldorf ; † August 5, 1989 ) was a German doctor and sports official.

As a physician, he gained importance through the knowledge based on his own research that he recognized the early mobilization of patients after heart attacks and the preventive therapeutic effect of training and sport against cardiovascular diseases. Despite personal defamation and the accusation of "scientific misleading", he transferred these findings into practical applications. This included static dynamic exercises after just five days and training with the bicycle ergometer after three weeks. After five weeks, the patient should be exposed to full stress again.

Education, occupation and affiliations

From 1939 he studied in Leipzig, Jena, Rostock University , Freiburg and Vienna. Josef Nöcker was a member of the Alte Leipziger Landsmannschaft Afrania .

He received his medical license in Leipzig in 1945, where he also received his doctorate. In 1950 he completed his habilitation at an unusually young age at the University of Leipzig on the subject of “The nutritional yeast, medicinal and additional food”. In 1955 he became an adjunct professor and in 1957 acting head of the medical university clinic.

On June 30, 1959, he fled to the Federal Republic of Germany on his way to the international athletics match England - GDR in London. There Nöcker took over the position of chief physician at the municipal hospitals in Leverkusen , where he and Dr. Dieter Baron was responsible for the sports medical care of the athletes from Bayer Leverkusen and especially cooperated with Bert Sumser .

After returning from Mexico, he suffered a serious illness. In August 1989 Josef Nöcker died in a car accident on the autobahn near Leverkusen.
