خلاصه ماشینی:
In an article titled ‘Barriers to sports participation of women and their relation to motivation’, Naderian, Zolaktaf, & Moshkelgosha (2009) showed that individual or mental problems, lack of access to facilities, lack of interest, and lack of knowledge are the major obstacles to women’s participation in sports.
The results showed that women’s championship sport faces opportunities like improving the knowledge and awareness of women’s sports, human resources, the existence of educated women in the field of sports, and a significant increase in the number of female students studying sports and physical education.
With growing opportunities, such as perfection-seeking and increasing incentives for champion women to get national and international honors” and “the growing trend of winning international and Asian medals by women, and reduced challenges, such as cultural constraints in women’s sports, low possibility of hosting women’s tournaments, limitations to competing in some fields with the Islamic veil and the quick growth of women’s championship sport in the region and other countries, the following activities are suggested: – Increased interaction with international and continental federations to remove the problems of female athletes in participating with the hijab in international sporting events; – Making efforts to eliminate the presence of women in stadiums of the country by observing the norms and the dignity of women; – Feasibility and efforts to win effective international seats by women; – Evaluating the performance of Iranian women in international sport associations; and, – Strengthening the participation of manager women in sport federations and departments.
