Alice Prof was the first female sport physician in Germany and she influenced ideas on female bodies and female sports for more than 40 years. Her dream to become a doctor could be realized only in Switzerland because women were not admitted to universities in Prussia before 1908. After her examination and her PhD she established herself as one of the first female doctors in Berlin in 1905 and she worked there until her death in 1946 as general practitioner and medical specialist for pediatrics and sport medicine. As an expert on the female body she was active in many committees and organizations. Alice Prof worked her whole life for the improvement of the situation of girls and women. The focus of her work was physical education and sport and she was always active in different types of sports herself. Her first article on this topic was published in 1906. In the following years over and over again she 'took the floor' criticizing traditional stereotypes of women and the female body, demanding resources for the education of girls and women. Her efforts also helped to reduce anxieties about women in sport and to encourage women to participate in sport. In her articles and in her lectures she encouraged women to decide for themselves about their involvement in sport. She rejected all attempts to patronize female athletes and refused to accept their exclusion from many sports. Prof propagated ideas which were not popular and she never swam with the tide. In one obituary it is stated: 'you never changed your ideas about life for material rewards or professional advancement. You stayed yourself'. Her ideas are relevant even today.
爱丽丝教授是德国首位女性运动医学医生，她在40多年里影响了人们对女性身体和女子运动的看法。她成为医生的梦想只有在瑞士才能实现，因为在1908年之前普鲁士的大学不招收女性。1905年，经过考试并获得博士学位后，她成为柏林最早的一批女医生之一，并在那里工作直至1946年去世，担任全科医生以及儿科和运动医学专家。作为女性身体方面的专家，她活跃于许多委员会和组织。爱丽丝教授一生都致力于改善女孩和妇女的状况。她工作的重点是体育教育和运动，并且她自己也一直积极参与各类运动。她关于这个主题的第一篇文章发表于1906年。在接下来的几年里，她一次又一次地“发言”，批评对女性和女性身体的传统刻板印象，要求为女孩和妇女的教育提供资源。她的努力也有助于减少人们对女性参与运动的担忧，并鼓励女性参与运动。在她的文章和讲座中，她鼓励女性自行决定是否参与运动。她拒绝所有对女运动员进行庇护的企图，也拒绝接受她们被排除在许多运动项目之外。教授传播的观点并不受欢迎，她从不随波逐流。在一篇讣告中写道：“你从未为了物质回报或职业晋升而改变自己对生活的看法。你始终保持自我。”即使在今天，她的观点依然具有现实意义。
