Abstract
This study's purpose was to analyze recreational-sports clubs' social capital. The research is a descriptive survey in terms of applied purpose and a descriptive survey in terms of data collection. The population of this study was 480 athletes who were selected as a sample using a simple random sampling method. The standard social capital questionnaire in recreational clubs was used to collect data. Descriptive and inferential statistics, including independent and one-way analysis of variance tests using SPSS software version 24, were used to analyze the data. The results showed that the four components of social acceptance, behavioral norms, mutual trust, governance, and social norms are the most important components of social capital in leisure-sports clubs. And in general, to increase the quality of life and happiness of the people, investing in social capital is much more valuable than economic investment. Many groups, organizations, and human societies have succeeded without economic capital and relying solely on human and social capital, and they must have a strong emphasis on social capital.
