Background: Today, one of the readily available and inexpensive tools determining human health is physical activity and sport. In addition, today, quality of life (QOL) is considered as an important health consequence. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between sports participation and QOL of women in Isfahan, Iran.Methods: This descriptive-correlational survey was conducted in 2014. The study population included all women living in Isfahan (n = 919,399). Using random stratified sampling method and Morgan’s sample size table, 386 subjects were selected. To collect data, the World Health Organization Quality of life (WHOQOL-BREF) questionnaire with the reliability of 0.92 and the Sports Participation Questionnaire (Karimian et al., 2011) with the reliability of 0.88 were used.Findings: The results showed a positive and significant correlation between sports participation and QOL of women (P = 0.001 and r = 0.371). Moreover, the level of sports participation and QOL of women with an average of 3.03 and 3.22, respectively, was within the average range. Based on the regression analysis, 29% of QOL can be predicted by sports participation.Conclusion: Based on the results, it can be concluded that regular exercise and physical activity has a significant relationship with QOL in women and increase in sports participation increases and improves women's QOL.
