Abstract. Self-creation in sport is realised in the meta-boundary capacities of the human body, which overcomes three physical quantities: resistance, friction and gravity. At the same time, the achievements of an athlete become a negation of the limiting physical properties of the body and testify to the incompleteness of bodily harmony.
Problem. To characterise spiritual and corporal self-creation in sport in the context of philosophical anthropology.
Methods. The research methods used are: the requirements of dialectical logic (for a comprehensive analysis of spiritual and bodily self-creation in sport); the method of phenomenological reduction (to reveal the essence of the main object of research - sport and attitudes towards it in modern society); hermeneutic method (to create a holistic view of care and humanism in sport through the use and interpretation of data from various sciences - psychology, ethology, sociology, etc.).
Results. Modern sport is an objectification of the will to cognition of one's natural inclinations and abilities achieved in the process of training, as phenomena of the ultimate physiological being of a person. In the strict sense, sport, as a component of culture, is the objective ultimate being of a person, which is expressed in science, training and competitive activity.
Conclusion. The worldview of anthropo-mono-centrism, anthropo-poly-centrism and even anthropo-multi-centrism, which coexist in modern sport, can be the basis for self-creation, metahumanism, that is, creating conditions for tolerant communication and constructive communication.
