Abstract: This study aims to conduct a comprehensive review of human capital in sports with an emphasis on capability approach. Human capital as the most important asset of any social institution plays an important role in dynamics and progress. Several approaches are used to measure human capital; however, there is not an acceptability criterion for measuring it in terms of all social fields. Using capability approach can be considered as one of the efficient criteria which comprehensively apply human capabilities to measure human capital. Despite the significant importance of human capital and capability, there is few sports-related studies conducted on this area; therefore, researchers are highly recommended to undertake qualitative and quantitative research on the subject.
