The purpose of this research was to design a volunteering model forthe elderly in sports events.this study was conducted qualitatively,using the grounded theory approach of Strauss and Corbin.the statistical population included sports experts,sports promotion advocates,scholars policymakers and consultants with experience in the field of aging and sports volunteerism.Sampling was carried out non-randomly and purposively with maximum diversity,and a total of18individuals were selected based on the theoretical saturation index.Validity was assessed using the criteria established by Skinner et al.(2014).Reliability was ensured through the method of inter-coder agreement, with the percentage of agreement calculated as the reliability criterion, resulting in 90% agreement, confirming the trustworthiness of the coding process.
Based on the findings.the final research model for elderly participation in sports event volunteerism was designed.Considering that the causal factors include intrinsic motivations,clear life goals, life satisfaction, and social cohesion;the contextual factors include accessibility and facilities.planning and management, and social support; the intervening factors consist of structural limitations,physical limitations.mental limitations, and social limitations;the strategies involve education and promotion,encouragement and motivation,and the use of media; the central phenomenon is the participationof the elderly in sports volunteerism;and the outcomes include improved physical health,enhanced mental health,and strengthened social connections.Therefore,based on the findings of the research,increasing the participation of the elderly in volunteering for sports events can be realized through several practical and effective solutions.These solutions not only help to increase the physical and mental health of the elderly, but also can strengthen social connections and the sense of belonging to the society in this age group.

The study is to design a lifestyle pattern for young athletes in health crises. This study was a combined method of mixed exploratory research projects. The statistical population of the qualitative section included university professors, athletes and champion coaches (15 people) and the statistical population in the quantitative section included all male and female professional athletes in all individual and team sports in Hamadan province (225). The research questionnaires were distributed among them and finally 195 questionnaires were returned correctly. The sampling method was qualitative and purposive in quantitative part. 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 in the qualitative part and the method of structural equations in the quantitative part were used. In the qualitative part of the research, it was found that the categories were identified in the form of 17 categories and 79 concept codes and were placed in the heart of the six dimensions of the paradigm model. It was found that in order to change the lifestyle of athletes in four areas of sleep, nutrition, leisure and communication, which were affected by supportive, economic, family and individual factors; Guidelines such as training strategies, facilities and services, and finance can be adopted. Underlying conditions affecting strategies included socio-cultural factors and facilities and services. The intervening adversary was also the media, knowledge, and policies and laws. Lifestyle changes lead to improved athletic performance, vitality and mental health.

The research is to study the sociological explanations of effective elements (attitude to citizenship: understanding, participation, legal, normative, client, organizational and contingency) on youth attitude of Tehran city to Discursive citizenship. Based on discursive citizenship theory of Jurgen Habermas in theoretical model frame of discursive citizenship, the path of hypothesis of research and related hypothesis to citizenship attitude, is considered. Therefore in the methodology of the research based on traversal method among of youth population 18 years of Tehran city with the help of cochran formula, the sample size is determined with the rate of 723 individual, but for more generalization 337 individual is added and the total of sample is in form of cluster sampling and accidental. Therefore, by using of questionnaire directed, the needed data were gathered and by using software (SPSS) it was processed. Finally, Pierson correlation coefficient (r) is observed and meaningful relation among dependent variable (attitude of discursive citizenship) with dependent variable (attitude to citizenship: Legal, normative, client, organization and contingency). In the meantime, it has shown meaningful difference between dependent variable (attitude to discursive citizenship) and some filed variables (sex, marital status, occupation status, housing ownership and residential district), but some of field variables (vehicle, type of occupation, education, income and dimension of the family) has shown no meaningful relation. The result of Goodness of fit of research variables for assessment of validity rate and validity of items of questionnaire with amount of Cronbach’s alpha ( 0.98 ) is determined. Also for more accurate Goodness of fit of research variables, we use factor analysis which its rate in result of text KMO=0.98 and approximate test of sphericity BTS with Chisquare (x2) is equal 2.929 at the meaningful level and shows that data matrix is meaningful and there is at least necessary conditions for fulfilling factor analysis at related data matrix to all main variables. In continuous of Goodness of fit of theoretical model of research, it is used multiple regression testing and path analysis, in which based on total of direct and indirect effects of plain variables, from most powerful and largest effect of attitude of discursive citizenship of youth of Tehran, we can reach to attitude of organizational citizenship with the coefficient (0.468) and normative citizenship with the coefficient (0.241) and contingency citizenship with coefficient (0.181) which are elements that have directs effects of attitude variable of discursive citizenship. The rest of independent variables of citizenship attitude and field which are in the indirect or hidden have effect and refers on the discursive citizenship attitude of Tehran city youth. The results of findings of this research show that the attitude of youth of Tehran city to discursive citizenship is not on a positive status and even show a critical status.
