The study is to investigate the effect of eight sessions of stress inoculation training on reducing anxiety before the competition in adolescent boys. The research method was semi experimental with pretest-posttest design with experimental and control groups. The statistical population of the study consisted of all adolescents from 19 to 14 years old O Sport’s athletes in the city of Shahrood in 2018. Based on the number of registered in the survey, 63 were present. Athletes were evaluated by Competitive Situation Anxiety (Martens et al., 1995) and 30 subjects with the highest anxiety were randomly divided into experimental and control groups (inoculation). The data were analyzed by independent t-test and dependent t-test. Experimental group was subjected to an independent variable (stress inoculation training) over a period of 8 weeks, during 8 sessions, 1.5 hours, and then tested with competitive anxiety scale-Martens et al. (1995). Validity and reliability of the Persian version of the revised questionnaire was taken by Mehrsfar et al. (2016). The results showed that stress inoculation training effect on reducing anxiety before the competition (P> 0.05). It seems that inoculation training can be effective in reducing anxiety by controlling the physiological arousal of the person in raising performance, especially during the competition.

It is highly important to identify the factors influencing the observations of ethical values by players and coaches in small and great events. Therefore, the present research is to examin the relation between emotional intelligence and ethical decision-making among soccer coaches in Tehran. This research is descriptive- co relational, and is conducted in the field. The subjects of this study were all the coaches of the Premier League in Tehran soccer (Tehran Vision) in 1394 which includes 62 people.
The tools employed included standard questionnaires of decision-making in Caswell’s (2003) difficult situations, and Lan et al’s (2009) emotional intelligence questionnaire. The data were analyzed through Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression tests. The results showed that there is a positive, significant correlation between all the subscales of emotional intelligence and the ethical decision-making of the coaches. Finally, the results of the regression showed that emotional intelligence and self-regulation subscales and optimism can anticipate the ethical decision-making of the coaches.

The aim of the current research is study of relationship between social physique anxiety and youth participation in leisure time physical activity. This work is a correlation descriptive research. The sample of population is composed of 150 persons (male: 72, female 78) that the average of ages of the sample is 24± 2.53. They filled social physique anxiety by Motl & Conroy (2000) and adolescent measure scale of leisure time physical activity behavior (Rice & et.al, 2009). At first using colmogrof- simsnoof test, it is confirmed that the data is normal. Then the data was analyzed by T-test, F-test and person correlation formula. The guide knowledge discovered (r = -0.63, sig = 0.001). There is negative meaningful relation between social physique anxiety and leisure time physical activity behavior. There is also meaningful discrepancy between leisure time physical activity of two groups (r = 2.53, sig = 0. 01) and between their social physique anxiety (r = 2.84, sig = 0. 0001).
This result discloses that the people with high social physique anxiety have less participation in leisure time physical activity.
