Because sport is one of the most common leisure activities, it would be interesting to study the relationship between leisure and work among elite athletes who chose sport as their profession. Hence, this study aimed to learn about the leisure styles of elite Iranian athletes and map the relationship between work and leisure. The study was conducted with a qualitative approach, and 44 Iranian athletes at the national level participated in the interview voluntarily. A thematic approach was used to analyze data. There are four leisure styles among elite Iranian athletes based on the results: virtual, distinctive, closed, and family-oriented. The mean age of athletes was the lowest in the virtual leisure style and the highest in the family-oriented style. In addition, sport as a leisure activity was more important to virtual-style athletes than to the other three styles.Le sport étant l'une des activités de loisirs les plus courantes, il serait intéressant d'étudier la relation entre les loisirs et le travail chez les athlètes d'élite qui ont choisi le sport comme profession. Cette étude a donc été réalisée pour connaître les styles de loisirs des athlètes d'élite iraniens et cartographier la relation entre le travail et les loisirs. L'étude a été menée selon une approche qualitative et 44 athlètes iraniens de niveau national ont participé volontairement à l'entretien. Une approche thématique a été utilisée pour analyser les données. D'après les résultats, il existe quatre styles de loisirs chez les athlètes d'élite iraniens : virtuel, distinctif, fermé et familial. L'âge moyen des athlètes était le plus bas dans le style de loisir virtuel et le plus élevé dans le style orienté vers la famille. En outre, le sport en tant qu'activité de loisir était plus important pour les athlètes du style virtuel que pour ceux des trois autres styles.Keywords: lifestyleprofessional athleteleisure styleswork–leisure balanceMots clés : style de vieathlète professionnelstyles de loisirséquilibre travail-loisirs AcknowledgementsThe author would like to thank all the participants for their generous contribution of time and insights.Disclosure statementThe author (s) declare(s) that there is no conflict of interest
