The current study was conducted in order to develop the design of an interpretive structural model in the development of talent identification strategies in Iranian sports. The study is regarded as a functional one concerning its procedure, correlation, and goal. The statistical population included managers of talent identification centers, federations, coaches, and actively talent-sporting people. By utilizing Morgan Table, 384 people were randomly selected in category. In order to assess and evaluate the objectives of the research, a researcher-made questionnaire was utilized from the qualitative section. The validity of the question naire was confirmed by asking the opinions of experts in sport management. The construct validity was further confirmed by exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis tests. Besides, the reliability of the questionnaire was confirmed by conducting the experimental implementation and calculating Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. In the statistical section, to identify the factors and effective dimensions of exploratory factor analysis, To determine the relationship and sequence between dimensions of interpretive structural modeling (ISM) Mick Mac analysis was used to determine the type of model variables according to the effect and effectiveness. The ISM Matrix indicated that the interpretive structural model, in Iranian sports, includes effectively pivotal indicators of improving managerial factors, attracting government support, formulating a support program for federations, empowering coaches, establishing talent identification centers, holding regular competitions, developing talent identification sites and equipment, the theologicalization of the talent identification process, expansion of network and communication resources, and creating a process of sustainable development in Iranian sports.

The study is to identify the factors affecting the development of judo championship sport of Iran. The research is applied based on the type of purpose and methodically, qualitatively and using topic analysis. The statistical population included the directors of the National Judo Federation, coaches and members of the national team and experts in the field of judo. The sampling method was purposeful and the data collection tool was semi-structured interviews. Interviews were done during a 4-month process in absentia (according to the COVID- 19 pandemic). Finally, the researcher achieved a theoretical saturation point after 15 interviews with 15 experts. After complete evaluation and analysis of the interviews, the results of this study led to the identification of 82 basic concepts in 13 sub-indicators and 4 main topics, namely environmental factors, managerial factors, infrastructure factors and political factors.
According to the results of research for the national development of judo in Iran, it is possible to strengthen sports diplomacy and continuous participation in regional and international competitions to promote the country's position at the international level and also pay attention to the top talents of judo along with improving the quality of training coaches in different age categories.

Global developments in the field of sports, increasing public awareness and the complexities of implementing various sports programs have created a competitive, dynamic and highly variable environment within sports organizations. The results of research in sports organizations show a lack of qualified personnel. Therefore, the overall purpose of the study is to develop and evaluate a model of succession in general departments of sports and youth with emphasis on the Delphi method. The research was applied in terms of purpose and exploratory in terms of implementation method. The statistical population in the first part includes existing and available research in reputable scientific databases such as Human Kinetics, Emeral, Scupos in the field of succession breeding as well as sixteen human resources specialists in sports and in the second part, managers and experts in General Departments of Sports and Youth of Isfahan province that the sampling was done by purposeful method. The factors influencing the design of succession model were identified and in the next step, the data were analyzed using the written views of experts and academic elites. These measures were taken in the form of steps: Step one; Data were collected in the form of expert discussions of the research group in relation to succession breeding by academic and sports experts. Step two; By distributing the researcher-made questionnaire among the statistical population and using the structural model method, the relationship path analysis and prioritization of dimensions and components were shown.
The results showed that in the succession breeding model, respectively, the dimensions of growth and excellence of successors and candidates, program monitoring and capabilities evaluation, strategic communication and networking, strategic alignment and analysis of talent identification needs and identification of strategic capabilities directly on succession breeding. The General Directorate of Sports and Youth is influential. Sports managers should provide the necessary conditions for succession through measures such as planning in the recruitment and selection stages, training and improvement, correcting undesirable and unnecessary behaviors, and managing talents.

Achieving success and good performance of athletes in sports competitions is one of the topics that have attracted the most attention of sports organizations in different countries. The aim of the study was to identifying the factors influencing the success of Iranian basketball with the foundation's data approach. The present study was applied in terms of practical purpose and was of qualitative research type with Grand Theory method (Foundation Data Theory). The statistical population consists of experts who have scientific, executive or both specializations in the field of sports management. In the present study, the opinions of 15 experts were collected during a semi-structured interview in a targeted manner to reach theoretical saturation. The reliability of the interviews was also obtained by using the method of studying the agreement within the subject matter of 0.78. To analyze the data, continuous comparison method has been used during three stages of open, central and selective coding. The results showed that 205 codes were obtained in the open source code phase and 11 axes in axial coding, and finally the model of Iran's basketball success paths was presented with eight factors: talent search, management, economic, political, social and cultural, education, environment and athlete. Therefore, supporting basic teams, defining a specific process for identifying brilliant talents and observing justice in the distribution of facilities, forming an think tank to support sports champions, a central program for generating income is suggested.

The research is to explain and analyze the infrastructural policies determining the effective development of Iran's racket federations at the championship level. In this study, a conceptual framework was proposed that could be used to compare the sports policies of the championship of the racket federations. The statistical society consisted of bosses and vice chairman, secretary, heads of provincial departments and specialized committees of four racket federations of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Based on the sampling formula, the sample size of the study were 134 people. The method used was targeted sampling. The questionnaire was formal and informative. The results of factor analysis for this index were extracted at %850. The statistical methods used in this research were Friedman Rank Test for ranking and tied paired T- test and Path Analysis Technique. The exploratory factor analysis method was used. In a second phase, correlations between the exploratory and theoretical factors were calculated.
The results showed that there is a significant difference between the priorities of indicators of performance evaluation of racket federations, and there is a significant difference between the status quo and the desirable situation of the performance evaluation indicators of the racket sports federations. There is a significant difference between the status quo and the optimal situation of the infrastructure indicator for assessing the performance of racket federations (badminton, table tennis, ping pong, tennis, squash). (p <0/05). Also, there is a difference between the average rankings of racket federations (badminton, table tennis, tennis, squash) under the sport racket federations p <0/05. Considering the factors explained, especially the elite sport and the process of talent identification process, can stabilize the status quo, as well as help the progress of Iran's racket federations. Also, the contributing factors can be used as a plan and roadmap by other sports federations for the fastest possible progress.
