The purpose of this study was Future Analysis of Women’s Health-Oriented Sports in Iran Using Causal Layered Analysis (CLA). The present research, from an inductive approach perspective, is fundamental in orientation, qualitative in data collection, futures studies in strategy, and part of the complexity theory paradigm. The participants of this study consisted of experts and specialists from diverse fields such as sports science, sports sociology, sports psychology, nutrition, women's sports policy-making, and media. The sampling method was purposive, and 21 interviews were conducted based on theoretical saturation. The data were analyzed using the Causal Layered Analysis method. Causal Layered Analysis enables the analysis of topics across four layers—litany, discourse/worldview, and myth/metaphor—to uncover deep cultural and metaphorical roots. To develop future scenarios for women's health-oriented sports in Iran, the "Uncertainty Matrix" method was used. Two variables, "the level of support and investment in women's sports" and "the level of societal attitude change toward women's sports," were selected as the main axes of the matrix. This method, by presenting four possible combinations of these variables, allowed for the identification and analysis of different futures and the development of diverse scenarios. These scenarios include stagnation and inertia, gradual and limited progress, increasing gap and dissatisfaction, and sustainable development and flourishing of women's health-oriented sports. Subsequently, practical strategies to achieve the desired scenario (sustainable development and flourishing) were presented in six areas: economic, social, cultural, political, technological, and macro-level.

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.
