AbstractObjective: The aim of the current research was a comparative study of the position of the right to health of people with disabilities with an emphasis on sports in national and international laws and regulations.Methodology: The research was applied in terms of purpose and a qualitative type, which was carried out with the method of content analysis. The statistical population was all national and international laws and regulations related to the right to health and the right to sport of all people in general and persons with disabilities in particular. The method of data collection was documentary and library and the tool used was coding checklist. George Brady's four-stage model was used for content analysis.Results: The findings indicated that despite the fact that the issue of health and sports of persons with disabilities has been stated in many national and international laws and regulations, in practice the measures taken have been very limited and achieving this goal requires increasing cooperation between the institutions in charge of the affairs of persons with disabilities, the institutions in charge of health, and the organizations and institutions in charge of sports.Conclusion: Understanding and interaction between the aforementioned institutions will have many benefits, such as reducing the costs of treating persons with disabilities and their mental and social health, and is a step towards sustainable development.
