Philosophical aspects of phenomenons of sports activities

The article presents the research results, conducted with the aim to determine ontological basis of sports activities, which can become a sufficient basis for the formation of athletes who have a high level of professional skills and qualifications. Empirical, theoretical and philosophical methods have been used during the study. The key phenomena of sports activity (a victory, a record, a training, a sports competition, professional sports, an educational activity, sports disqualification, losing) have been characterized. Then the phenomena of sports activity were distributed according to the importance for athletes. The existentials of human existence (happiness, freedom, unhappiness, unfreedom) which are immanently inherent in the phenomena of sports activity have been revealed. Binary existential compounds «happiness-freedom », «happiness-unfreedom», «unhappiness-freedom», «unhappiness-unfreedom» have been determined. The interrelations between the phenomena of sports activity and the structural components of existence, the so-called binary compounds of existentials «happinessfreedom », «happiness-unfreedom», «unhappiness-freedom », «unhappiness-unfreedom» of an athlete have been considered. The binary compound of existentials «happiness- freedom» which makes the full and exhaustive possibility of entelechy of an athlete allowable has been indicated. The developed hermeneutic triangle of sports activities included the variable values such as signs, phenomena and the constant values such as existence. Phenomena is the main appearances of sports activity аnd signs are determinants of sports activity phenomena (sports rules, refereeing, classes, exercises, labor contract, curriculum, educational standard, normative-legal act). The constant value is the binary compound of existentials of human existence «happiness-freedom», or existence, put in other words the existence of an athlete, which makes it possible to achieve the highest results. The essential characteristics of sports activities components have been revealed, the substantial basis of sports activity such as binary compound of existentials or components of human existence «happiness-freedom», which is manifested in the being of an athlete in the creation of the situation of intersubjectivity has been determined.
