Sports are just an activity, but many people are looking for this adrenaline rush. What makes us participate in risky events, even if it can be life-threatening? Is it some kind of instinct or just a desire to feel alive? I think we are all familiar with this feeling when the heart is pounding during an important match or competition. For example, when I watch the World Cup final, I get nervous, as if I were playing myself. Why does this happen? Maybe someone will share their opinion?

I believe that adrenaline is not just biological reaction, but something more. It seems to me that people tend to seek risk precisely because of the desire for bright emotions. In some ways, it's even a cultural phenomenon. Remember how many people are into extreme sports or watch martial arts, where it is important not only to win, but also to experience intense moments that take your breath away.
The answer lies in human desire to feel alive. Adrenaline creates a feeling of euphoria. This is natural reaction to stressful or risky situations. In the article I read https://www.thexboxhub.com/adrenaline-rush-in-modern-sports/, it is said that this drive helps us feel the fullness of life. Even if it's just watching a sporting event, the emotions overwhelm us so much that our hearts start beating faster. The thrill-seeking instinct is the basis not only of sports, but also of many other human activities, for example, in the same virtual games or extreme sports. It's as if we were looking for a new way to feel a real drive, to feel alive.
