For this purpose, in several qualitative stages and by aggregating the sport management professors’ opinions , a new questionnaire on the consequences of green sport was compiled and completed by a statistical sample of 400 people from 9 cities of Golestan province. Descriptive statistics were used to classify raw scores, design a frequency distribution table and calculate dispersion indices such as mean, standard deviation and frequency and to answer the research questions, exploratory factor analysis and structural equations were used using LISREL software and confirmatory factor analysis.
