Long Abstract
Introduction
Considering the role of women in society and especially their educational role in raising children and their role models, paying attention to women's sports and their health is of special importance; because women are less involved in sports activities due to the existing conditions in society and the use of new technology in the life process (Motahari, 2001). Women's health is the foundation of family health and their participation in ensuring, maintaining and promoting community health is undeniable. By actively participating in various sports, especially public sports, women can be a good model for promoting physical activity for other family members, especially teenagers and young people. Therefore, the study of factors related to women's participation in sports activities is of particular importance and in this study, an attempt has been made to investigate the relationship between values​​and lifestyle with women's sports participation in Marand.
 In Marand city, due to the lack of special parks for women for doing sports and the lack of establishment of women's sports culture in public parks, women have very limited participation in sports activities. Identifying appropriate values and styles for greater participation of women in sports activities can solve some of these problems. Therefore, the present study intends to answer the question whether there is a relationship between values and lifestyle of women with their level of sports participation?

Becoming an athlete has requirements that a person must learn in society in addition to physical strength.
