Is meditation considered a sports?

[Royleeyy]

Anyway, just wondering if meditation can be considered as one type of sports...

[Dimitrije]

Well, I wouldn't consider it sport, because you don't spend your energy, infact you receive the energy when you meditate.

[Royleeyy]

Lol, so sports definition is having to spend energy huh, I guess you are right.

[Tsok]

because you don't spend your energy

OK, now this is a very good definition!!!

[Dimitrije]

Well, I don't know what is the definition, but in every sport you are active with your body and you have some rules, and some goal, and you can compete with someone. In meditation you don't have rules, you don't compete, your body is still so No - I don't think it can be called a sport

[Ressa]

I'd call it an activity more than a sport.

[Ashley C]

Yes, I'm no authority on the matter but from my perspective I'd call it an activity, not a sport as such.

I think it is a form of relaxation and not sports where you need to exert energy. Both good for your body though.

Don't know about spending energy. Chess is considered a sport, and you don't spend energy there at all. Physical energy, that is. I've always wondered about the definition of sports because of the games like chess.

Meditation is not a physical sport. It was a discipline to inhibit one's whole being to be better and well.

Have not heard or read yet that meditation is considered as a sports. I also think that it is not a sports cause what will be the rules if ever. :P

I beg to differ. Any activity that can improve your overall well-being can be considered as a sport. A sport is basically a recreational activity that can boost your physical and mental hygiene as well. If chess is a sport that develops your mind, then meditation is a sport too - one that improves your physical, mental, and spiritual factors.
