In this paper we obtain quantitative weighted $$L^p$$
L
p
-inequalities for some operators involving Bessel convolutions. We consider maximal operators, Littlewood-Paley functions and variational operators. We obtain $$L^p(w)$$
L
p
(
w
)
-operator norms in terms of the $$A_p$$
A
p
-characteristic of the weight w. In order to do this we show that the operators under consideration are dominated by a suitable family of sparse operators in the space of homogeneous type $$((0,\infty ),|\cdot |,x^{2\lambda }dx)$$
