Abstract
The aim of this research was to systematically review the studies of women’s sports scope. Research method was descriptive based on content analysis and data collection was done through documentary. Research population was all the theses, dissertations, research projects and published articles related to the scope of women’s sports (N=1157) from 2001 to 2015. A coded sheet was used as the instrument in which the concordance correlation using Scott’s pi formula was 90 percent among coders. To analyze data, the descriptive and inferential statistics (Chi-square and Scott) were conducted considering the significant level of P≤0.05 using SPSS18 and EXCELL 2007. The results showed that most research around the scope of women’s sports had been published from 2011 to 2015 (68.6 percent). The number of all the research related to the scope of women’s sports from 2001 to 2015 were 1157 documents in which 85.7 percent were articles. Totally it seems that there is no balance between research subjects, sport fields, components, methodologies and instruments in women’s sports studies. It is suggested that the researchers pay more attention to the different research subjects and fields in women’s sports studies due to the significance of them.
