Maintaining physical condition in a specific position and high work pressure causes musculoskeletal disorders and abnormalities in the body. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the prevalence of postural abnormalities and work-related musculoskeletal disorders in the artillery battalions of the Army.

308 personnel employed in artillery battalions with average and standard deviation of height, weight, age, BMI and age of services the subjects (175.48 ± 5.96) and (77.65 ± 10.78), (34.45 ± 6.95), (25.20 ± 3.15) (13.75± 6.98) respectively, were included in the study. Musculoskeletal disorders were assessed with the Nordic Questionnaire and postural abnormalities were assessed by the New York test.

The results showed that the forward head (64.6%), uneven shoulders (63%), and scoliosis (49.7%) were the most prevalent. In musculoskeletal disorders, half of the patients suffer from lumbar disorders (56.2%). Knee disorders (45.8%) and neck (34.4%) were also the most prevalent after the lumbar.

According to the results of this study, forward head disorders, uneven shoulders, and scoliosis were the most common postural abnormalities and disorders of the back, knees, and neck were the most common musculoskeletal disorders in personnel. Therefore, corrective and preventive exercises should be included in the design of personnel training programs.

The purpose of this study was to design a dedicated test to assess the physical fitness of the Basij e Mostaz'afan forces.

The mixed research Method (qualitative-quantitative) was conducted in two-phase. The first phase was done through library studies, semi-structured interviews with expert managers, and the formation of a specialized working group, and the second phase was done through field data collection from Basij e Mostaz'afan forces. 40 volunteer sample of the Basij Mostaz'afan was assessed as prototype test to evaluate the validity and reliability of the physical fitness test, in the following, 522 samples were selected to prepare the standard norms. The test-retest method was used to evaluate the reliability, the concurrent criterion validity method was used to evaluate criterion validity and comparison of the beginner group, and the elite group method was used to evaluate structural validity. Data analysis was performed using an independent t-test and Pearson correlation test. The operational needs of each department were analyzed using semi-structured interviews and the specialized working groups and the most required physical fitness factors of the Basij volunteer forces’ were determined. Then, the appropriate specific test was designed and the content and face validity of the test was confirmed in a working group consists of experts, military managers, and physical education professors.

In the quantitative phase, results showed that the designed test structural validity (comparison of beginner and elite groups, P = 0.001) simultaneous criterion validity (comparison with standard tests; r > 0.9), and reliability (test-retest correlation = 0.89) were confirmed. Finally, the Standard Norm for test evaluation in three age groups (15 to 19 years, 20 to 29 years, and more than 30 years) was developed using normal curves and percentage points and reported in separate tables.

The designed test can evaluate the physical fitness of Basij e Mostaz'afan forces in accordance with the operational conditions.

Maintaining combat readiness for the military is essential to improving the performance and ability to defend the country. L-Arginine supplementation has a positive effect on physical function. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of 12 weeks of L-arginine supplementation on Army Combat Readiness Test (ACRT) and anaerobic power in the military.

Twenty male military volunteers participated in the study and were randomly divided into two groups of 10 L-arginine and placebo. Before and 12 weeks after supplementation, subjects performed the ACRT and anaerobic tests. Data were analyzed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Significance level was considered p≤0.05.

The results showed that L-arginine significantly decreased the ACRT test time (P = 0.001) and significantly increased anaerobic power (P = 0.027) compared to placebo.

This study concludes that 12 weeks of L-arginine supplementation can increase combat power and increase anaerobic power and thus improve physical performance in the military.

The aim of this study is to analyze the cultural development of using public bicycles and the role of consumer behavior in promoting sustainable (green) transport.

The research method was descriptive-correlational and 170 people who used public bicycles continuously (at least 3 times weekly visits) were selected as research sample (N=310). The standard questionnaire was derived from the customer satisfaction surveys and a standard loyalty questionnaire in the 5 Likert options range. Data were analyzed using SPSS 19 software at a significant level of ≥ 0.05.

T-test results showed that the satisfaction and loyalty of users of public bicycles are in good condition. In this regard, the component of health satisfaction and the component of behavioral loyalty are of the highest priority to citizens. There is also a positive and significant relationship between citizens' satisfaction and loyalty, so that satisfaction can predict 27% of customer loyalty.

According to the analysis findings, the high priority of health satisfaction gain from public bicycles reflects the high value of public bicycles and their health benefits to citizens and plays a significant role in citizens' loyalty to public bicycle systems. Citizenship behavioral loyalty can also contribute to developing a public bicycle system to increase the attraction of new audiences and improve system development. In this regard, the use of public bicycles on the one hand affects the health and well-being of citizens and, on the other hand, contributes to the development of sustainable urban transport.
