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.

The study is to design a model of the position of women in sports to improve development indicators in Iran. The research method is qualitative and exploratory. Statistical population included university professors, experts and experts. Degrees and academic work related to the subject, having managerial positions and executive experience in the field of sports management and experts in the field of women sports were among the indicators to select the top list of experts. The sampling method was non-probability sampling with purposeful selection with maximum diversity or heterogeneity. The sample size in this study was 16 persons based on theoretical saturation index. The interviewing tool was open-ended and analyzed based on three open, axial and selective coding steps using Maxqda version 12 software. Based on the data analysis, 89 primary concepts, 13 main categories and 3 core concepts were identified. Then three theoretical theories based on the paradigm model of the triaxial model for designing a model of the position of women's sport in improving the development indicators in Iran were presented. Therefore, it can be deduced that designing a model of women's sport status does not succeed in improving development indicators in Iran, but is a purposeful process that is rooted in many features and modes.

Designing green sports facilities is a unique measure to protect the environment. The study is to identify developing strategies for green sports facilities and their infrastructure. Considering the exploratory nature of the subject, the method of qualitative research and the strategy of the classical grounded theory were used. The sampling method was purposive. After collecting data from 15 in-depth and semi-structured interviews with experts and knowledgeable people, theoretical saturation was obtained. Data analysis was performed by open, axial and selective three-step coding methods of Strauss and Corbin with MaxQda 10 software. The results showed a total of 84 open codes, 41 of which were related to strategies affecting the infrastructure of green sports venues with 9 categories and in selective coding, two theories were presented. Seven main strategies for development of green sports venues were identified: culture building strategies; specialized rules and regulations laws in design, construction and operation; management strategies; financial strategies; incentive and supportive strategies; punitive strategies and training strategies for professionals. Therefore, It is suggested that in order to protect the environment and commitment to social responsibility, the use of appropriate strategies from the point of view of experts for the development of green sports venues should be given special attention.

Shooting with an Iranian national and religious sport bat, with an ancient history, is a requirement for this sport to be safe and observant. The study is to compare the safety and standard of shooting places of archery in Tehran with international standards. This descriptive study is applicable. The statistical population was all shooting places of archery in Tehran. Due to the small size of the statistical population, 16 samples were examined in total. The evaluation was carried out by a researcher-made checklist, prepared in accordance with the rules and standards of the relevant international federation. In this checklist, 27 indicators were evaluated. The validity of the checklist was confirmed by the professors and its reliability was above 0/9. Data collection lasted one month, which was suitable for this study. Data analysis was done by SPSS software and Friedman test. The theoretical mean of this research was evaluated by 3 and 27 indicators of identification. The results of this study showed that among these 27 indicators, 19 are below the theoretical average and in a weak or very weak position, and 8 indicators are above the theoretical average and in a good or very good position. Also, sports venues in shooting places of Tehran is in a poor condition and far from the World Archery and JBRC Governorates. It is hoped that the checklist will be used to evaluate and standardize the sports venues of this field.
