The purpose of this study was a meta-synthesis of studies on coach-athlete relationship abuse in competitive sports and to present a model. This research was a systematic review with a meta-synthesis approach. The statistical population of this research included studies related to abuse in coach-athlete relationships in competitive sports. A purposive sampling method was used, and by reviewing six databases including CINAHL, Web of Science, SPORTDiscus, PsycINFO, Sociological Abstracts, and Google Scholar, 17 studies were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The data collection tool was a checklist, and the quality of the studies was assessed using the CASP tool for qualitative research. For data analysis, the reflective thematic analysis method was used. The findings revealed 62 sub-themes and 13 main themes. Different types of abuse included emotional, psychological, physical, and sexual abuse. The athletes' reactions as victims to these abuses included isolation, avoidance, silence, coping behaviors, normalization, and lasting trauma. Also, psychological, performance, and social harms were identified as consequences of abuse in coach-athlete relationships. These findings indicate the complexity and various aspects of the effects of abuse in coach-athlete relationships in organized sports. These effects require various measures, including education and awareness-raising, developing effective reporting systems, strengthening organizational policies and regulations, and providing psychological and social support for athletes.

In the quantitative section, purposive sampling was also used, and based on four criteria—work experience in volleyball, knowledge of futures studies, having advanced education, and more than 10 years of work experience—10 individuals were selected. The data collection tools in the qualitative study were semi-structured interviews, and in the quantitative section, a fuzzy Delphi questionnaire and a 46x46 matrix were used, which were validated and confirmed for reliability. The qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis, while fuzzy Delphi and structural analysis were employed for quantitative data. The results of this research indicated that in total, 46 influential drivers were identified for the future of the Volleyball Federation of Iran, with 8 key drivers under the titles of "Placement among the top four teams in the world and the Olympics," "Dynamic league," "Asian Championship and Asian Games," "Investment in talent identification," "Iran's volleyball capacity," "Strengthening competitors," "Attracting financial supporters," and "Providing support" playing a more crucial role in the federation's future initiatives.

The study is to investigate the social impact of sports applications on depression in life with a dual approach of passion. It is a descriptive correlational research based on structural equation modeling and in terms of purpose is considered as an applied research. The statistical population consisted of all users of the Astrava application in Iran who were active in both cycling and athletics. The study used the Walrend et al. (2003) Passion Scale, the social impacts of Wallan et al. (2020) and the burnout in the lives of Copenhagen et al. (2005).
The results showed that mutual benefits were of a significant positive effect on adaptive desire. Cognition had a significant positive effect on extreme desire. Mental norms were of a significant positive effect on mutual benefits and cognition. Consistent desire was of a significant negative effect on burnout in life at the level of 0/01- while extreme desire had no significant effect on burnout in life. Consistent passion fully mediates the impact of reciprocal benefits on burnout in life. While extreme desire was of no significant mediating role in the effect of cognition on burnout in life.
Based on the obtained results, it seems necessary to plan to improve the mood and psychological states of users, such as improving the states of exhaustion in life, and in this way, the use of experienced and specialized experts can provide the field of service improvement even more.

Today, the exciting arena of watching football matches in multi-ethnic communities such as Iran has become an arena for showing and expressing ethnic identities. Accordingly, the study is to represent the dimensions of ethnic identity among football spectators by thematic analysis. The population included fans of three textile teams: Mazandaran, Khuzestan Steel and Tabriz Tractor, from three ethnic groups: Mazani, Turk and Arab. The sampling method was purposive that 28 in-depth interviews were conducted until reaching the theoretical saturation stage, 17 of which were coded and analyzed using Nvivo8 software.
The findings from the three-stage coding of qualitative data showed that spectators while watching the game in sports stadiums represent their ethnic identity through two components, each of which has its own dimensions.These two components are: 1) ethnicity through mental mediation (culture, history, racism, religion, symbolic attributes) and 2) ethnicity through objective mediation (land, music, diet, myths and celebrities, population rate, Symbolic cover, language, race).
Therefore, it can be said that watching football matches has the potential to represent ethnic identity for spectators, which leads to the adoption of strategic policies to strengthen national identity in order to reduce tensions, taking into account differences based on ethnic identity.
