  The existence of a large volume of studies on the participation of students in sports activities, with somewhat ambiguous and contradictory results, has posed challenges in planning and policymaking in this field. Therefore, it is necessary to integrate and consolidate the findings of previous research. This present study aims to go meta-synthesis of factors and barriers influencing the participation of students in sports activities. The research methodology employed is a systematic review that aims to synthesize qualitative studies. The statistical population of this study consists of qualitative studies (articles and theses) published between the years 2006 and 2021, which were accessible as full-text in the databases and university libraries. Based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, 12 studies were reviewed. In this study, a designed checklist was used for data collection. To ensure quality control, the validity and reliability of the extraction codes were assessed, and the validity of the codes was evaluated using the Glynn’s agreement coefficient. For the analysis of the research findings, the topic synthesis method and the MAXQDA software were utilized. The findings indicate that in explaining the factors and barriers influencing student participation in sports, three general environmental factors and barriers can be identified: general environmental factors and barriers, operational environmental factors and barriers, and internal environmental factors and barriers. Among these, the environmental factors and barriers are considered the most significant variables in predicting student participation in sports activities. Based on these results, it is necessary to focus on environmental factors and barriers when explaining student sports participation. Manuscript profile
