In-depth and semi-structured interviews with 13 people (achieving theoretical saturation and adequacy) and after identifying the main and sub-indicators in the return of social capital based on the role of sports volunteering to achieve research validity of a combination of continuous and long-term involvement criteria, continuous monitoring Researchers' attention (control) of colleagues, progressive mentality, participation of participants and use of multiple information sources were considered. In order to evaluate the reliability of the research, the agreement method of two coders and the researcher coding were used and based on the knowledge of experts, the relationships between the concepts were drawn in the form of fuzzy cognition maps. Excel, FCMapper and FCM EXPERT software were used to draw fuzzy cognitive maps and calculate the related indicators.
