high intensity sports and ego

[Marinador]

what effect have high intensity sports like running or cycling on the ego?

i mean, do have unbounding ego effect? or do have bounding ego effect?

this all suposing that you excersice completely concentrated on your awareness

Physical exercises may support energy balance. Without this balance emptiness of ego cannot be directly perceived. However what applies to meditation does apply to physical exercises, too: an inappropriate intention or attitude makes it futile or even hindering or harmful.

@Marinador It can lead to flow states of consciousness, especially when someone is skilled at the sport and there is a moderate amount of risk involved.

@Marinador A good athelete can enter a state of body awareness in which the right stroke or the right movement happens by itself effortlessly without any interference from the conscious will. This is the paradigm for non-action (Wu Wei) the purest and most effective form of action.
