<![CDATA[This study explores the transformation of sports philosophy from ancient civilizations to the modern era, highlighting shifts in values, purposes, and conceptual foundations of physical activity across time. The problem underlying this research is the lack of comprehensive understanding regarding how philosophical thoughts about sports have evolved and influenced contemporary sports practices. The aim of this study is to describe the historical trajectory of sports philosophy and analyze its relevance to modern sports culture. Using a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected through literature review, document analysis, and interpretation of classical and modern philosophical texts related to sports. The findings reveal that ancient sports philosophy was strongly rooted in spiritual, ethical, and communal values; the classical Greek era emphasized harmony, virtue, and human excellence; while modern sports philosophy focuses on rationality, competition, performance, and global human values. The study concludes that the evolution of sports philosophy reflects broader changes in human civilization and continues to shape the orientation of sports in education, competition, and society today.]]>
