Objective: The purpose of this study was to design a model of factors affecting on 35 years of Success and authority of the Iranian men's national sitting volleyball team in international events.Methodology: This research was qualitative and the grounded theory method was used with a systematic approach. The required data were obtained from library studies and interviews with sitting volleyball experts and dignitaries. The statistical population of the study included the directors of the National Paralympic Committee and the Veterans and Disabled Sports Federation, coaches and players of the current national volleyball team. The sampling method was purposive and the data were obtained by conducting 15 in-depth semi-structured individual interviews to reach the theoretical saturation stage. Data collected from interviews were analyzed in three levels of open, axial and selective coding.Results: Ten important factors in data analysis; (1) a large community of sitting volleyball players, (2) experienced and efficient coaching staff, (3) the talent identification process, (4) preparatory and official competitions of national and club, (5) support of national team with reserve players, (6) the culture of Iranians sitting on the ground, (7) management and planning of the National Paralympic Committee and the Veterans and Disabled Sports Federation, (8) Governance, Governments and officials support, (9) facilities and equipment, and (10) having global seats as important factors and affecting on 35 years of success and authority of the Iranian men's national sitting volleyball team in world events were explained.Conclusion: Paying attention to the positive factors explained stabilizes the current situation, and paying attention to the shortcomings and shortcomings can help to further promote Iranian men's sitting volleyball in international arenas. The designed model can also be a model and guide for other sports for the disabled and even non-disabled to achieve success and progress.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to design a model of gender equality in Iranian sports (with emphasis on championship and professional sports). Methodology: The present research method was qualitative with grounded theory approach (data theory). Data collection was done by reviewing the theoretical foundations and research backgrounds and semi-structured interviews with 11 knowledgeable experts. The statistical population included faculty members of sports science and sociology, female athletes and coaches active at the championship and professional levels, directors of the Ministry of Sports and Youth, the National Olympic Committee, sports federations, and provincial and city sports delegations. Sampling was performed theoretically and after 11 interviews, the resulting theoretical saturation and model framework were formed. The validity of this study was reviewed and confirmed by the researcher and the interviewees. In order to measure the quality of the coding, the agreement method between the two coders based on Cohen's kappa coefficient (0.79) was used. Data analysis was performed using three steps of open, axial and selective coding. Results: In the causal conditions section, 3 central categories (justice and equality, egalitarian movements, fundamental intellectual developments), background conditions, 4 central categories (regulatory approaches, cognitive approaches, normative approaches, value approaches), interventionist conditions, 6 categories Axis (injustice and discrimination, religious stagnation, sexism, flawed governance structures, historical and traditional stances, marginalization), strategies 4 central categories (structural strategies, organizational strategies, support strategies, executive strategies), and in the consequences section 3 The central category (individual consequences, organizational consequences, socio-cultural consequences) was extracted. Conclusion: Gender perspective should be removed from sports with respect to central justice and the belief in the ability of women in sports should be institutionalized. In this regard, governance, politics, laws and regulations, religion, management and education systems and the media can be the basis for this. Also, benefiting from the influence of political and religious institutions, supporting international institutions, increasing financial resources and civil struggles are all among the appropriate strategies for achieving gender equality in sports.
