adrenaline sports
Risk-seeking physical activities
Adrenaline sports are physical activities pursued specifically for the rush of excitement and fear they produce—the surge of adrenaline that comes from perceived danger or extreme physical challenge.
The category includes activities like skydiving, bungee jumping, rock climbing, and white-water rafting.
The term overlaps substantially with extreme sports, though adrenaline sports emphasizes the physiological thrill rather than the unconventional nature of the activity.
