According to some historical sources like Avesta, some sports in Iran age older than the same games played in Greece. For example, while archery and canoeing were among main sports performed in Iran, Grecians did not practice them. Iran is the first among Oriental countries in which physical education has been an important part of education system. In his book Herodotus cites that in Iran children learn three things: horse riding, archery and truthfulness.

Since 1306, physical education has been assigned as a school subject and in 1316 Tehran's teachers college held the first physical education bachelor course. In 1389, Ministry of Sports was made by integration of Physical Education Organization and Youth Organization.

Iranian students who were living in Europe in Olympic games in 1936, which were held in Berlin in Nazi Germany, was the first participation of Iranian in foreign athletics games. Iran's national Olympic committee was formed in 1325 and a year later Iran became officially one of the members of international Olympic committee. Iran is included in the countries from which many individuals with disability take part in Paralympic Games. The reason is existence of numerous Iranian veterans with disability due to the 8-year Iran-Iraq War. Activities such as caving, water skiing in coasts, snow skiing in ski resorts, desert tourism, mountaineering and diving can be enjoyed in Iran.
