Can anybody here point me to a quote on exercise or sports or physical training in any old school catholic Theologian (I.E St Thomas Aquinas) I am looking for a theologian quote I have heard St Pauls quote before.

Saint John Baptiste De La Salle wrote about competitive sports. It was called, “gaming” in his time. His writings on sports are in his book, “The Rules of Christian Decorum and Civility”, page 89, Article 3. His book was published in the year 1703 and is absolutely brilliant.

1 Timothy 4:8 for, while physical training is of some value, godliness is valuable in every way, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.

1 Corinthians 9: 24 Do you not know that in a race the runners all compete, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win it. 25 Athletes exercise self-control in all things; they do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable one. 26 So I do not run aimlessly, nor do I box as though beating the air; 27 but I punish my body and enslave it, so that after proclaiming to others I myself should not be disqualified.

Hebrews 12:1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely,[[a] and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us,
