The study is to present a structural model of the effect of media advertising on sport-based lifestyle by explaining the mediating role of body management re-identification (From the Police Force Point of View in Tehran). The method of study was a correlational one based on structural equation modeling. 400 police officers in Tehran were selected by cluster random sampling. The method of data collection was field and using a questionnaire. The data was analyzed using SPSS25 and AMOS24 softwares. The results showed that the direct and standardized effect of media advertising (p= 0/017, β= 0/49) on body identity is significant. Also, the direct and standardized effect of body identity (p= 0/012, β= 0/37) and media advertising (p= 0/00, β= 0/61) on sport-based lifestyle is significant. The direct effect of marriage and education on sport-based lifestyle was 0/11 and 0/26, respectively, which showed a significant relationship. But the relationship between age and sport-based lifestyle was not significant (P> 0/05). It can be concluded that sport-based lifestyle can be effective through media advertising by body identity.

The study is to identify and rank the obstacles to the development of beach soccer in Iran. This research is applied in terms of purpose and data collection was done in the field and in a mixed qualitative and quantitative manner. The statistical population in the quantitative part, including the officials of the beach soccer committee of the federation and the football delegations, the managers of the clubs and the prominent coaches of the national beach soccer teams were equal to 50 people and in the qualitative part, 12 experts. Due to the limited statistical population, the statistical sample was equal to the population. The research instrument was a researcher-made questionnaire including 29 obstacles to the development of beach soccer in the country. The validity of the researcher-made questionnaire was confirmed by 10 university professors and its reliability was confirmed using Cronbach's alpha test (α = 0/88). The Delphi method was used to identify obstacles to the development of beach soccer and the Friedman test was used to rank the obstacles in the inferential statistics section.
The findings showed that 29 obstacles were identified and prioritized in managerial and executive dimensions and areas, facilities and equipment, financial and economic, attitude and support of officials, and human and environmental, respectively. The officials of the federation should first of all remove the obstacles in the field of management and administration and then remove the obstacles of facilities and equipment in their agenda.

The study is to determine the causal relationship between market orientation and customer loyalty in terms of the mediating role of service quality in Tehran's fitness clubs. The method of this research was correlation-survey and was a type of applied research that was carried out in the field. The statistical population included all the people who visited the sports clubs of Tehran. According to Morgan table and random sampling, 384 people were selected as the sample of the study. Data were collected by Alper & Associates (2006), Kuw and Kwan Quality of Service Questionnaire (2006) and Dehdashti et al. Customer Loyalty Questionnaire (2012). These questionnaires were approved in terms of formal and content validity. Using the Cronbach's alpha coefficient, the reliability of the questionnaire was 0/83, the service quality questionnaire was 0/79 and customer loyalty was 0/88. To analyze the data, descriptive statistics such as table, graph, mean, standard deviation and inferential statistics of slip and elongation test, Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equation model were used.
The results showed that the customer orientation component had a direct and indirect relationship with customer loyalty through the quality of service intermediary variable. Also, this component was significant between the competitor's tendency toward customer loyalty directly and indirectly through the quality of service mediation variable. The component of the market environment was directly and indirectly related through the mediating variable of service quality with customer loyalty.
Based on the results of the structural equation model, the main model of the research was fitted out and service quality as an intermediary variable was able to mediate between market orientation and customer loyalty, which attracted the effects of market orientation and then transferred it to customer loyalty.

Inferential statistics and structural equation modeling were used to study the effects of observed variables on the variables. The results showed that relationship marketing affects the organization brand of sports clubs (p = 0/99, p-value = 33/43). Relationship marketing also affects the quality of service (β = 0/78, p-value = 16) and organizational brand on service quality (β = 0/83, p-value = 21/44). Considering the positive effect of relationship marketing on service quality and the positive effects of relationship marketing on organizational brand and organizational brand on service quality, organizational brand variable can be considered as a partial mediator variable. Sport club managers will use the principles of relationship marketing to satisfy their customers, their willingness to re-enter and reassure their customers and take advantage of a loyal customer for their portfolio.

The study is to investigate the effect of combined combat arts on abnormal behavioral modification and social adjustment in infants and abandoned children between the ages of 8-18 years in Tehran in order to empower them in a case study (Novabougan center, Mohammad Ali Mozaffari). The research method was quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest design with control group. The statistical sample included children aged 8-18 years old, of which 20 were selected by available sampling method and divided into two groups: control (n=10) and experimental group (n=10). Four anger questionnaires, depression, stress anxiety, self-confidence and self-concept were presented in three stages, one month after each educational phase, to examine the different components. The results were analyzed using SPSS software.
The results showed that there was a significant difference between the control group and the control group in decreasing anger and aggression, depression, anxiety and stress, as well as increasing confidence of the patients. Also, the use of an interventional technique such as martial arts in children who have been exposed to social harm for various reasons can have a significant effect on the abnormal behavior of these children as well as social adjustment and empowers these children to participate actively in the community and receive their contribution to a healthy and behavioral-free life.
