The aim of the current research was to present a model for the development of an injury prevention environment in gyms. This research was applied in terms of purpose and descriptive in terms of method, and its data collection was done through a survey. The statistical population of the research included elite athletes, coaches, managers, and deputies of bodybuilding and bodybuilding boards of Isfahan province, experts related to this field, and sports management professors. The sample consisted of 168 people, and the data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire. The content and form validity of the designed questionnaire were confirmed by 10 prominent professors of sports management. Also, to measure the reliability of the questionnaire, it was distributed to 30 sample people, and after collection, the Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.91, indicating good reliability. To analyze the data, Friedman's test and confirmatory factor analysis of the second order were used in Lisrel software. The results indicated that four indicators are related to the component of checking the level of control and evaluation of tools and equipment, 9 indicators are related to the component of establishing social security, 6 indicators are related to the component of the instructor's knowledge of the dangers and use of illegal drugs, and 11 indicators are related to the physical and structural status component of gyms. The results of the Pearson correlation test also showed that all the correlation coefficients are positive and significant, indicating a significant relationship between the factors influencing the development of the injury prevention environment in bodybuilding.

The aim of this study is to examine the impact of 6 weeks of intermittent intense aerobic training specifically designed for football on professional players' time to reach exhaustion (Tmax), maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max), minimum speed to reach maximum oxygen consumption (vVO2max), and anaerobic threshold (LTP2). Twenty-eight club football players (average age 20.5±4 years, weight 69.8±2 kg, height 175.6±1.2 cm, fat mass 11.59±1.7 kg, fat-free mass 58.56±6.9 kg, body mass index 17.56±3.4 kg/m2) from the Tehran Ground Force team, participating in the Azadegan Cup One Country League, were purposefully selected and randomly divided into two groups: control (n=14) and experimental (n=14). The training regimen included 6 weeks of intermittent intense aerobic exercise (HAF) with 4 sessions per week and six ball movement drills on a specially designed course. The training intensity was set at 75% for the first two weeks, 85% for the following two weeks, and 90% of the maximum heart rate for the final two weeks. Analysis of covariance was used to compare the groups based on the research design (pre-test-post-test with control group) with a significance level of P ≤ 0.05, and data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 18 software. The results of the covariance analysis revealed a significant enhancement in the measured parameters in the experimental group compared to the control group, specifically in VO2max (P=0.023), Tmax (P=0.027), vVO2max (P=0.038), and LTP2 (P=0.041). The findings of this study suggest that after 6 weeks of intensive aerobic training for football (HAF), both aerobic and anaerobic indicators improve in football players.

The aim of the current research was to design a sports tourism development model in the northern region of the country with a land-use approach. The research method is descriptive-correlation. The data were collected in a field form using a questionnaire. The face and content validity of the questionnaire were confirmed by experts in sports management, marketing, and sports tourism (15 people), and the construct validity was also confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis. The reliability of the findings was confirmed using Cronbach's alpha and composite reliability. The statistical population included employees of organizations related to the field of tourism and sports (researchers and professors in the field of sports tourism, executive directors of tourism and cultural heritage organizations, and sports organizations). A sufficient number of targeted and non-random sampling were selected in the structural equation approach (320 people). Finally, the data from 300 complete questionnaires were analyzed. Descriptive data analysis was done with SPSS software, and the inferential part was conducted using the structural equation modeling method (factor analysis) with PLS software. The results showed that the most important factors affecting the development of sports tourism in the northern regions, in order of importance and priority, include natural attractions and events (0.89), climatic conditions (0.84), managerial-executive factors (0.70), cultural-social factors (0.65), laws and policies (0.64), infrastructure and accommodation (0.51), and transportation flow (0.46). The development of sports tourism in the northern regions of the country requires serious attention to seven groups of effective factors identified in this area. It is also necessary to consider the priority and importance of each of the identified factors in the planning of this industry in the mentioned region.

The aim of the current research was to identify the talent criteria of table tennis athletes using the talent evaluation method. For this purpose, 40 male and female students who participated in the table tennis championship of Mazandaran schools in elementary school were selected through targeted sampling. They had an average age of 10.83±1.8 years, an average height of 145.76±5.7 cm, and an average weight of 46.34 ± 2.39 kg. To determine the talent indicators, various factors such as running at maximum speed, agility, vertical jump, dribbling speed, goal evaluation, ball skills, throwing the ball, reaction time test, and prediction skill were measured and compared with the ranks achieved in the competitions. The data was analyzed using analysis of variance, Pearson's correlation, and t-test with SPSS software version 23. The research findings indicate a significant relationship between talent indicators and the obtained ranks, suggesting that these indicators can serve as primary factors in identifying talented individuals in the field of table tennis. Coaches and talent scouts can utilize these strong indicators to enhance the talent identification process.

The aim of the current research was to design a model of factors affecting the targeting of subsidies in sports in the country with a combined approach. This research is practical in terms of purpose, and the mixed research method is sequential exploratory. The collection method was a survey. The statistical population in the qualitative section included subsidy policymakers in the country, members of the Islamic Council, the Ministry of Sports and Youth, and professors familiar with the issue of subsidies in sports, who were selected for qualitative interviews in the research topic (15 interviews) with 15 people and continued until theoretical saturation. The statistical population of the quantitative part included all managers of sports clubs in Tehran. The data collection tool in the present study was a semi-structured interview and a researcher-made questionnaire. In order to analyze the data, coding was used in the qualitative part and the method of structural equations was used in the quantitative part. In the qualitative part of the research, categories were extracted in the form of 34 conceptual codes and 6 main categories. In the quantitative part, all 6 main categories of the research had a suitable fit. Therefore, the research model has sufficient fit. Considering that participation in sports activities has many positive effects in all aspects for the general public, it is recommended to adopt the necessary measures to target the subsidies in the country's sports.

The aim of the current research was to model the factors affecting the attraction and retention of financial sponsors and benefactors in women's sports. The research method is descriptive and correlational. Additionally, the current research is a quantitative study based on structural equation modeling with a partial least squares approach. The statistical population of the research included sports benefactors who are members of the Tehran Province Benefactors Association, with at least one history of activity in the field of women's sports. One hundred people were selected as the research sample through simple random sampling. Smart PLS version 3 software was utilized for data analysis. The results indicated that support and sports platforms, motivational factors, structural and organizational factors, as well as cultural and social factors, have a significant positive impact on attracting and retaining financial sponsors and benefactors in women's sports in Tehran province.
