Abstract

Abstract Physical activity can contribute to societal health and prevent antisocial behaviors. This study explored the driving forces facilitating these goals in Iran’s socio-cultural context. Through a literature review, investigation of available political documents, interviews with experts and consensus of the research team, seventy-three driving forces were explored from different domains and then categorised via the STEEPV framework. This framework considers drivers from Social, Technological, Environmental, Economic, Political, and Value/Cultural dimensions. The “sport/sport sciences” domain was also considered as an additional domain. In the next step, a questionnaire with an answer scale of 1 to 7 was distributed among experts. The fuzzy Delphi method was used to analyse the collected data. Results showed eighteen drivers from five domains (social, environmental, economic, technological and sport/sports sciences) dramatically influenced leisure time physical activity (LTPA) in Iran. “Physical activity opportunities for vulnerable groups” was identified as the most important driver for participation in LTPA. Results suggest the need for a multidimensional and thorough consideration by organisations, leisure managers and policymakers to discover methods to promote health-related physical activities in the future.

伊朗休闲时间体育活动的未来驱动因素

体育活动可以促进社会健康，预防反社会行为。本研究探讨了在伊朗社会文化背景下促进这些目标的驱动力。通过文献综述、现有政治文件的调查、专家访谈和研究团队的共识，我们从不同的领域探索了73种驱动力，然后通过陡峭v框架进行分类。该框架考虑了来自社会、技术、环境、经济、政治和价值/文化维度的驱动因素。“体育/体育科学”领域也被认为是一个额外的领域。下一步，在专家中分发一份问卷，答案范围为1到7。采用模糊德尔菲法对收集到的数据进行分析。结果显示，来自五个领域(社会、环境、经济、技术和体育/体育科学)的18个驱动因素显著影响了伊朗的休闲时间体育活动(LTPA)。“弱势群体的体育活动机会”被确定为参与LTPA的最重要驱动因素。结果表明，组织、休闲管理者和政策制定者需要进行多维度和全面的考虑，以发现促进未来与健康相关的体育活动的方法。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
