Disability as a social phenomenon is an undeniable fact that has always existed in societies from the distant past until today.This research was conducted with an exploratory nature and with the aim of designing a comprehensive model for the development of disabled sports in the country by using the foundation's data theory strategy. In order to present a model of the findings arising from the coded data, we tried to use the systematic approach in the foundational data theory presented by Strauss and Corbin. Purposive sampling method was used for sampling to conduct interviews.A total of 22 interviews were conducted with experts. Sampling continued until the research reached theoretical saturation and adequacy. The results show that 274 initial conceptual propositions with 11 main categories and 49 sub-categories in 6 dimensions of paradigm model including causal conditions (3 categories), central phenomenon (1 category), strategy (2 categories), intervening conditions (2 categories), The background conditions (2 categories) and the outcome (1 category) constitute the sports model of the disabled in the country. Based on the country's sports model for the disabled, it can be concluded that all identified categories should be implemented in order to develop the sports of the disabled.Successful disability was discovered and identified as a consequence of the development of disabled people's sports in this research, which indicates the creation of motivation and desire in the disabled person and other family members for sports, taking advantage of the experiences and capacities of disabled people and the strength of the family.

The current study was conducted in order to develop the design of an interpretive structural model in the development of talent identification strategies in Iranian sports. The study is regarded as a functional one concerning its procedure, correlation, and goal. The statistical population included managers of talent identification centers, federations, coaches, and actively talent-sporting people. By utilizing Morgan Table, 384 people were randomly selected in category. In order to assess and evaluate the objectives of the research, a researcher-made questionnaire was utilized from the qualitative section. The validity of the question naire was confirmed by asking the opinions of experts in sport management. The construct validity was further confirmed by exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis tests. Besides, the reliability of the questionnaire was confirmed by conducting the experimental implementation and calculating Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. In the statistical section, to identify the factors and effective dimensions of exploratory factor analysis, To determine the relationship and sequence between dimensions of interpretive structural modeling (ISM) Mick Mac analysis was used to determine the type of model variables according to the effect and effectiveness. The ISM Matrix indicated that the interpretive structural model, in Iranian sports, includes effectively pivotal indicators of improving managerial factors, attracting government support, formulating a support program for federations, empowering coaches, establishing talent identification centers, holding regular competitions, developing talent identification sites and equipment, the theologicalization of the talent identification process, expansion of network and communication resources, and creating a process of sustainable development in Iranian sports.
