The research method was qualitative and developmental. This research, as a secondary study, has been done with a systematic review approach. The research sample consisted of ۱۹ articles published in domestic scientific research journals between ۱۳۹۰ and ۱۴۰۰, which were extracted from "Noormags," "Magiran," "SID," and "Ensani" databases.

The subcategories such as social order, social cohesion, aggression, abnormal behavior, moral behavior, social policy, social trust, and hooliganism can be classified under a more general category called the social function of sports. Also, subcategories such as culturing sports for all, sports participation of women based on gender norms, sports participation of the disabled, participation in sports activities of women and men, social consequences of participation in sports, sports participation of the elderlies are categorized in the concept of "social participation in sports."
