Abstract
The sporting success of a country relies on the coordination of efforts and long-term plans, as well as the efficient use of resources and the continuous support of athletes, allowing the legitimacy of the governance system of governments. The aim of the current research is to analyze the factors that influence the sporting success of countries in order to provide suggestions for achieving a strong Iranian. The current research is a kind of review and analysis study carried out using the library study method and authentic documents. The results showed that international sports success can be analyzed using three systematic approaches, hierarchical levels of sports success and axes of success. In the first approach, three phases of input, process and results are introduced. In the hierarchical analysis, between macro-level variables, two indices for GDP and population are used; At the middle level, there was more emphasis on sports policies by governments and sports organizations, and at the micro level, there was more emphasis on talent development. Furthermore, the fluctuating performance of Iran's sports in international competitions shows that Iran's sports policy should be proportional to the various variables of the mentioned approaches; Therefore, it is suggested that the country's sports policymakers, while paying attention to several factors such as governance focused on medal-winning sports, identify the various variables of each approach in specific sports and continuously monitor the management of this set of factors.
