The statistical population studied in this research consisted of all the male students of the first and second secondary level of Damghan city (3426 people), of which 234 people were selected by cluster random method and were studied as a sample. Ajzen theory questionnaire (1986) was used to collect data. To determine the formal and content validity of this questionnaire, the opinions of 4 sports management professors were helped. Then, in order to determine the reliability of the questionnaire, a preliminary study was conducted on 30 students of Damghan city, and the results of Cronbach's alpha test showed that the questionnaire has acceptable reliability (attitude = 0.78) (mental forces = 0.75) (behavioral control Comprehension = 0.81) (Intention = 0.82) (Behavior = 0.76) K-S test, Pearson correlation and structural equation modeling method were used to test the hypotheses. The results showed that the attitude and perceived behavioral control of adolescents has a positive and direct effect on their intention to participate in sports activities, but the mental norms of adolescents do not have a significant effect on their intention to participate in sports activities, on the other hand, the perceived behavioral control of adolescents and their behavior for Participation in sports activities does not have a significant effect, if the intention of teenagers has a positive and direct effect on their behavior to participate in sports activities.
