Methodology: Data were collected through semi-structured interviews using a qualitative approach. In order to analyze the qualitative data, the themes analysis method was used (Brown and Clark, 2006).
Results: The findings of this study showed that the drivers and motivations for using new technologies to develop recreational sports are put into five perspective: sports competencies, sports intelligence, innovation and knowledge efficiency in recreational sports, internationalism in recreational sports and transformation and increasing social orientation are divided into sports technologies.
Conclusion: According to the results of this study, To develop recreational sports, new technologies can be used, which should be the main objective of enhancing the social trend toward technologies that are used to develop sport in the community. This will be achieved through intelligence of recreational sports and taking advantage of sports innovations.
