Today in modern societies, differentiation process and diagnosis of lifestyles vetween individuals and groups nor by their heredity bases of social, economic,political rather than achoice based on the consumption of materal and spirial and spiritual goods will be. Among the context of social inequalily. People have different tesources; different ways of lifestyle and consequently their lesisure patterns would be formed. Ownership of social capital in the similar way forms their lifestyle and leisure. The present study attempted to empirically examine the theoretical point (Pierre Boutdieu’s analysis plan). For this tcason the “shiraz university” as a scientific.social field were selected and 430students by systematic random sampling were examined. The results showed that the zmount of social capital xvailable to students in both formal and informal social capital kind are medium and low; however, informal social capital with individyalistic leisure patterns and colleetivist leisurepatterns both is correlated.

This paper is adopted from a survey on the social exclusion of the youths in iran aiming to study the theoretical literature of the subject and to assess the amount and dimensions of the social exclusion and its margins. The survey was administrated on a sample including 1200subjecrs. The modern comcept of the social exclusion has created a tesearch framework in the field of inequality, poverty and social deprivation. Based on the mentioned framework, the visible and invisible dimensions of the social exclusion of the at-risk groups includiong youths will be assessed in a wider scope and in more systematic and moresystematic and more precise way. In the social exclusion context, the excluded groups and regiojs are marginalized and excluded from ghe mainstream of the distribution of resources and social opportunities based on some (different) specific comditiom of resources and social opportunities based on some (different) specific comditions, events, and charaterisdes in an accumulative and chronic way, so that their release from such a situation (i.e. from the exclusion trap) will be a trans- personal issue requiring corrective activities and combinational interventions ar sustemic and social level. The fimdings and results of this research are presemted in a descriptive and an analytic part in the paper. The memtioned findings and resulrs show that approximarely half of the teemagers and youths of ghe study (including goth boys and girls) of tehran and irs margins stand at the risk of being marginalized and socioally excluded in most part of their youth ace (15-29 years old). This risk for the mouoned population sis higher than average and currently the suedied population live in the situation of objective and subieetive chronic multiple limitations. The range of the subjective exdlusion ……………….. more than the objective exclusion. There is no sigmificant ralarionship between the mentioned indea and the risk vattables (mcluding the gender and the residence of the respondents) except tor the variable of the age which shos a signicant relationship with the subjective ecelusion. In contrasl, the objective exclusion has a significant relationship with the age and residence, though it has significant telationship with the varable of the gender.

Athletes and coaches focus all their efforts on providing the physical, mental, and technical development of sports which can lead to improved performance, but without knowledge of the factors affecting training management practice it is impossible. A review of training science indicates that the knowledge, experience and ability of trainers, on one hand, and the way they might use these three elements, on the other hand, causes different results. The status of athletes in athletics as a valuable national asset and the cost of training them are crystal clear. But because of the cultural, economic, psychological, physiological, genetic, metabolic and morphological complications of athletes the first step in training management should be based on a deep understanding and detailed study of the properties listed here. Therefore, in all sports fitness, technical, tactical, metabolic, psychological and attitudinal needs of athletes should be scrutinized and training plan of each individual athlete must accord with his requirements. The second step is training principles and the way they are applied before, during and after exercises. The third step will be to control all of the variables affecting the Golden Triangle of Championship, that is, optimized practice, high performance and competition results. This is taken to prevent errors and mistakes and to allow corrections to be implemented to pave the way for growth and development. Thus, in this article, with an emphasis on different biological capacity of athletes, it is aimed to warn coaches and teams who ignore sport and skill individuality of athletes, also to introduce them efficient ways to succeed in sports. Here, through the education of scientific principles of championship, we seek to introduce the latest findings to the athletes, coaches and responsible individuals in this area and also to increase their knowledge upon effective methods of exercises.
