The aim of this study is to evaluate the problems experienced by women in sports with the Q method. In the methodological model of the research, the Q method, which includes qualitative and quantitative research methods, was used. The study group consists of 25 female participants who were included in the study by snowball sampling method. The research data were analyzed using the PQ-Method 2.35 program developed for Q method research. Principal component analysis method was used in the data analysis process. As a result of the rotation process after the principal component analysis, it was seen that the participant opinions were grouped under two factors. Z scores showed which questions the participants grouped under two different factors scored higher. Participants were interviewed about the scores obtained from positive and negative quantitative data and the underlying reasons were examined. The factors that cause the problems experienced by women in sports can be listed as the negative social perspective adopted by the society against women who do sports, the misinterpretation of the clothes worn by women in the sports environment and the understanding of sports as a male activity.
