In the resent research, we intend using a sociological view that includes both theoretical and field sections, explaining the factors affecting Participation of veterans in sports activities. To explain the independent variable, which is a socio- economic status, we use Pierre Bourdieu -contemporary theorist- theory, but in the case of the dependent variable that is sports participation, we use the theories of sports sociology theorists such as Rowland and Freedson, Scanlan and Simon. The field section is a survey and the data measured, described and analyzed using the questionnaire technique. The research sample consisted of 372 athlete veterans in Tehran province. The sampling method is a multi-stage cluster sampling. After completing the questionnaires, the data were analyzed using SPSS software and statistical tests. Processes and statistical tests represent the fact that there is a significant difference between the dimensions of the socio-economic status of athlete veterans (income, occupation and education), age, marital status, sports fields, percentage of veterans and veterans' participation in sport activities.
