The study is to investigate the effect of sport participation on social vitality and social health modalities. The research was conducted in a survey using stratified sampling method and using a researcher-made questionnaire. The statistical population was the students of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad (23000 people). The sample size was 403 people using the Cochran formula. The findings indicated that the average sports participation in respondents is 168 minutes per week. The average social vitality is also 65/6, which is moderate. There was a significant difference between the mean of sport participation and social health in terms of gender, but there was no significant difference in social happiness according to gender. The greatest effect on social vitality was related to social health variables (beta coefficient = 0/15) and sports participation (beta coefficient = 0/13), while the sport participation variable had no significant effect on social health.
