The study is to design and test a model for the application of sports research in the Iran. The research method was descriptive-correlational. The statistical population included all professors and managers of the country in sports science. The statistical sample was estimated to be sufficient for modeling in smart pls software and was selected by judgmental sampling method (162 people). The research tool was a questionnaire extracted from the systematic qualitative stage. The validity of the instrument was evaluated and confirmed by experts (content validity) and model fit indices (reliability and validity of the structure). Four conceptual levels of model and dimensions were: Ecosystem (capacities of scientific system, development of sports system and scientific developments of international sports), system (capabilities of executive department, industry, sports scientific system), structural (research management, provision of resources, research services and research development) and functional (usability, Scope and consequences of application).
The results showed that based on the results of factor analysis and measurement models, the dimensions of the model variables were significantly explained. The results of path analysis also showed that the relationships between model variables were significant. The fitting indices were also approved at the desired level.
Based on the results, it is suggested to the management of research units in sports organizations (Research Committee of Organizations, University Sports Sciences, etc.) to define the application of sports research as a systematic and strategic flow and at the same time to improve capabilities. Applicability of sports research to build capacity in the scientific, executive, industrial and social environment of sports.

Nowadays, globalization has doubled the importance of competitiveness in the sportswear industry. Many Iranian sportswear brands are not active in international trade because of their inability to compete with foreign brands. Therefore, this research aims to identify and prioritize the factors affecting the competitiveness of Iranian sportswear brands to enter international markets. This study used a mixed-methods (qualitative-quantitative) research design. The statistical population consisted of academics and experts active in sportswear exports. The sample included fifteen people from the first group selected by the snowball sampling method and fifteen people from the second group chosen by the purposive sampling approach. Effective factors were identified by a field study, and the conceptual model was presented after the factors were confirmed in the second round of the Delphi technique. Then, the factors were prioritized using the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) as (1) exports, (2) brand differentiation, (3) brand equity, (4) marketing orientation, and (5) strategic orientation, respectively.The results indicated that exchange rate regulation and inflation control by the government, along with producing exclusive products and creating emotional relations between the brand and customers, increases the firm’s competitiveness. Brand owners should also pay particular attention to competitors’ activities and incorporate product competitiveness enhancement into their organizational goals.

The study is to design a model for evaluating the performance of human resource management in the Ministry of Sports and Youth. In this research, the data theory method of the Systematic Approach Foundation was used. The statistical population was sports experts who were selected using purposive sampling method in order to achieving theoretical saturation. In this technique, an initial group was selected to interview and then the next groups were introduced to interview by the same group and sampling continued until the research reached theoretical saturation and adequacy- after 14 interviews, theoretical saturation was obtained. In this study, a semi-structured interview was used to collect data in the qualitative section.
Finally, three overlapping processes of open coding, axial coding and theoretical coding were used to analyze the data. Based on the findings, 85 open source and 21 code-centric were counted, which were classified into causal, contextual, intervening, strategic, consequences and central categories.
The results showed that the human resource management in the Ministry of Sports and Youth should be aware of the performance of their human resources and to identify their strengths and weaknesses.

The purpose of study was to test the Endorsement model of sports celebrities. The present study was a descriptive correlational study based on structural equation modeling. The statistical population of this study consisted of consumers who had bought Mihan Company's dairy products (products that were certified by athletes such as Seyed Mehdi Rahmati and Mehdi Mahdavi Kia). In this study, the sample size was estimated based on the number of parameters in the 360-person model, which were selected by convenience sampling. Content validity and construct validity were used to ensure the validity of the instruments used, Cronbach's alpha was used to ensure their reliability, and structural equation modeling was used to test the hypotheses. The results showed that the credibility of the source directly (β = 0.176, P = 0.001) has an effect on the intention to purchase a certified brand. In addition, source credibility indirectly affects the intention to purchase a certified brand (β = 0.249, P = 0.001) through brand attitude and brand trust. It was also found that attitude towards the brand directly affects the intention to buy a certified brand (β = 0.459, P = 0.001), while the effect of brand credibility directly affects the intention to buy a valid brand. Not confirmed (β = 0.095, P = 0.144). Finally, it was found that the mental conflict was the relationship between brand credibility (β = -0.141, P = 0.001), brand attitude (β = 0.102, P = 0.014) and intention to buy a certified brand adjusts meaning.

The study is to identify the causal factors affecting the realization of the good governance approach in Iranian sports. This study has a qualitative approach and we used the grounded theory -Strauss and Corbin's approach (2008)-, as a research method. For gathering data, we studied high level documents and open interviews with 25 experts in the three fields of government, civil society and the private sector of the sports industry. The results of the research were reviewed by experts and its validity was confirmed. The reliability of the research was %77 which was also obtained by using the inter-rater reliability method. Data analysis was based on three open, axial and selective coding methods.
The results showed that eight main factors are: "developmental governance", "efficient administrative structure", "institutional knowledge", "rule of law", "ethics", "excellence in sports institutions", "resilient economy" and "institutional interaction". They are effective in achieving good governance and developing the country's sports.

The study is to investigate the parameters of a comprehensive quality management in wrestling Federation. Total Quality Management includes all elements of organization and resources to achieve quality and meet customer needs and interests of employees. The aim of this study in terms of quantity and in terms of implementation of applied research to collect data from the type of research method - an analysis of aspects of the survey.
Subjects after determining the total number of people working in the field of study (380 cases, according to the Federation Secretariat), 157 elite experts formed randomly. To answer the research question, the measuring tool (questionnaire), which includes eight components of total quality management (based on exploratory factor analysis), was used.
The results showed that the structure has been defined for total quality management 64/41% of the total variance and variance percentages for each of the eight factors in order to support senior management (5/51), customer relationship (5/29), supplier relationship Recent (3/22), HRM (3/02), the behavior of staff (2/69), process design (2/68), production processes (2/48) and quality assurance (2/07).
Also according to the indicators and outputs LISREL software can be fairly said that the data are consistent of a model and the proposed indices indicated that the overall model is a good one.
Finally, it seems far from achieving the quality and effectiveness altogether with sports, education, management experience related to the field of work, job stability, according to the dynamism and change, systematic organization, based on individual work, attention to the comments and decisions employees, continuous evaluation and other factors that can be found in dynamic and advanced organizations, are the important quality factors in Iranian Wrestling Federation
