The study is to explain a model of structural barriers to the growth and development of women in Iranian sports. The statistical population included all managers and staff of the Ministry of Sports and Youth, professors and doctoral students in the field of sports management, international coaches and referees, and professional athletes. The sampling in the qualitative section was purposeful, which continued until the theoretical saturation was reached. In the quantitative section, the sampling was done in an accessible manner and based on reliable sources, 5 to 10 people are recommended for each question, 394 People from the community participated in completing the questionnaire online. The method of data collection was field-based and specifically based on the structural equation model, which was performed using SPSS software version 25 and LISREL software version 8/8. The research instrument included a researcher-made questionnaire which was used after confirmation of face validity and construct validity (KMO=0/91) and Bartlett test result (p=0/0001, 2x=2010/1).
The factor analysis through principal component analysis and parallel analysis showed that the structural barriers to the growth and development of women in Iranian sport contained seven factors and the results of the second-order confirmatory factor analysis with LISREL software showed. All factor loads were of good explanatory power and planning and organizing and had been identified as structural barriers: Financial resources and marketing; Facilities and equipment; Terms and Conditions; human resources; Monitoring and control and the information factor.
Therefore, it is suggested that the authorities, by attracting public participation to transform the position of women in Iranian sports, formulate executive development programs and systematize the structure, and consider the fundamental and infrastructural approaches of other societies.
