The present study was an attempt to identify the typology of transforming factors in the development of human capabilities in sport which was conducted as a qualitative one with a basic-exploratory nature. Research data were collected through snowball sampling method, and based on in-depth interviews and focus expert groups. Based on grounded theory, the data were analyzed after coding. The results indicated that there are three categories of transforming factors in the development of human capabilities that include individual transforming factors, structural transforming factors, and background transforming factors. The results also showed that individual, structural, and background transforming factors should be assigned credit for the development of human capabilities in sport.
