Abstract
According to the review of the proposed models and research background, so far a comprehensive model in the field of factors affecting the development of human capital in academic sports has not been presented and this trend needs to grow. Therefore, the study was conducted with the aim of designing a model for the development of human capital in university sports. In terms of purpose, the study is a content analysis method whose data type is qualitative. Research experts were 19 professors and directors of physical education who were champions and coaches of national teams in various fields and executives of university sports in the country who were selected through non-random sampling in a purposeful way to achieve theoretical saturation. Data were collected using in-depth and semi-organized interviews. Data were analyzed after coding and Maxqda software was used to analyze the research data. The results show that the factors of the human capital development model of university sports can be classified into 8 main categories and 134 sub-categories .Training and learning, performance management, maintenance management, recruitment, service compensation, succession , competency factors and belief and moral context, are the main identified themes of human capital development of university sports. Therefore, in order to implement the development of human capital of university sports, a desirable investment should be made based on scientific-sports talents in the country's universities, and the use of sports heroes should be among the strategies for the development of human capital of universities.
