A Model of the Position of Women in Sports to Improve Development Indicators in Iran

The study is to design a model of the position of women in sports to improve development indicators in Iran. The research method is qualitative and exploratory. Statistical population included university professors, experts and experts. Degrees and academic work related to the subject, having managerial positions and executive experience in the field of sports management and experts in the field of women sports were among the indicators to select the top list of experts. The sampling method was non-probability sampling with purposeful selection with maximum diversity or heterogeneity. The sample size in this study was 16 persons based on theoretical saturation index. The interviewing tool was open-ended and analyzed based on three open, axial and selective coding steps using Maxqda version 12 software. Based on the data analysis, 89 primary concepts, 13 main categories and 3 core concepts were identified. Then three theoretical theories based on the paradigm model of the triaxial model for designing a model of the position of women's sport in improving the development indicators in Iran were presented. Therefore, it can be deduced that designing a model of women's sport status does not succeed in improving development indicators in Iran, but is a purposeful process that is rooted in many features and modes.
