The purpose of the current research was to design the optimal governance model of the country's sports system using the fuzzy Delphi method, which is descriptive and qualitative according to the developmental goal and method of this research. First, in the form of documents and libraries, the indicators and dimensions of sports governance at the international and national levels were collected. The statistical population consists of two parts. A part of it has been related to the qualitative approach of the research, which consists of sports management experts. For this purpose, 15 optimal governance models were extracted and studied. The summary of these models shows the existence of 4 dimensions, 15 components and 41 indicators. The matrix obtained from DIMATEL technique identified the cause and effect relationships between the factors as well as the influence and effectiveness of the variables. The validity of the questionnaires was confirmed. To test the optimal governance model, the Ministry of Sports and Youth and the heads of provincial boards were considered. In the quantitative section, considering that the population size was 542, 225 people were determined as a sample by simple random sampling method and with Cochran's formula, and the questionnaire was distributed among the sample members. The validity of the drawing model is valid for four dimensions. Finally, four dimensions including financial control, competence of human resources, transparency and accountability, and implementation of policy and policy have been obtained.

The research is to study the role of sports diplomacy in the development of international relations with the Persian Gulf countries. Based on this, an applied research was conducted in a mixed method with a data-based theorizing strategy based on Glaser's model and inductive approach. 16 interviews were carried out with professors of sports management and sports diplomacy, working in the Ministry of Sports and Youth, national Olympic Committee and Ministry of Foreign Affairs until theoretical saturation. Qualitative data analysis was done during two stages of real coding and theoretical coding and finally 64 open codes were identified in 12 concepts and 4 categories. In order to compile the data model, the data of 311 experts in the field related to the research was analyzed using the structural equation method.
According to the results of cultural, media, economic and public diplomacy, they will have the most effect in sports diplomacy with the Persian Gulf countries. Using the capacity of non-governmental organizations in the region, interacting with the diplomatic system and producing joint media works with other countries, economic cooperation with Persian Gulf entrepreneurs and the cooperation document between the Ministry of Sports and Youth and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is the most effective.
It is suggested, a committee of institutions in charge of sports and diplomacy of the country is formed and to plan a sports event in the Persian Gulf with a message of peace and friendship.

The methodology used in the research was a systematic exploratory qualitative study based on a thematic analysis approach. The statistical population included managers and expert of public sports, managers and expert employees of metropolitan municipalities, managers of municipal sports complexes, people who are experts and knowledgeable about citizen sports, and university sports management professors who were interviewed. The sampling of qualitative parts was done using the judgment method, for a total of 21 people. The interview tool was based on the opinion of experts and the agreement of the editors. It used the library study and interview tools.
The results showed that the effective indicators in the development of an active city through the approach of promoting citizen sports included three parts: process, performance, and outcome indicators. The findings indicated that the managers of the municipalities and the Federation of Public Sport should pay more attention to the holding of hiking and cycling conferences than before and programs (giving prizes to individuals and holding free programs) in order to encourage them. People should plan these activities and also pay special attention to the creation of dedicated paths (cycling, walking, and running), women's parks, and infrastructure necessary for public sport in parks and stations and health skills to encourage people to exercise citizenship and physical activity in order to create an active city.

The study is to compile a quantitative model for factors affecting the management of the generation gap in Iranian public sport. In order to obtain a conceptual model and confirm it, first, using a qualitative approach (thematic analysis) and interviewing 14 experts in a purposive sampling method, including professors of sports science and sports management, experts in the field of public sports, experts in the field of sociology and sports sociology and sports managers of organizations in charge of sports such as municipalities, public and recreational sports federations, and student sports federations were done. Then, the structural equation modeling method was used to confirm the conceptual model derived from the research. In order to make the study feasible, a simple random sampling method was used to sample this population. Due to the uncertainty of the size of the community, a total of 384 people were identified as the research sample. The findings of the theme analysis showed that there are a total of 51 open codes as factors affecting the management of the generation gap in public sports in the country, which are placed in 9 sub-themes and 4 main themes. Also, according to the results of structural equation modeling, the qualitative model of the research was confirmed and all paths were positive and significant and had a good fit. In a general conclusion, it should be mentioned that the existence of a generational gap has caused people's sports interests to differ seriously, so that the generational gap can be an important factor in creating a favorable society or itself a cause for social conflict.

Lifestyle is one of the important concepts in the field of humanities and especially sociology, it is necessary to examine the lifestyle of people in society and especially women in Iranian society considering that Iranian society is in the process of transition and modernization. The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of women's sports-oriented lifestyle on women's social and mental health. This research was done with quantitative method and survey approach. The statistical population of this research includes all the women of Borujerd city, which data was collected using a multi-stage and random cluster method using a researcher-made questionnaire. The sample size was estimated to be 250 people using Sample Power software, and Cronbach's alpha test was used for the validity and reliability of the research. SPSS 26 software and statistical tests of Pearson correlation, t-test, analysis of variance and multivariate regression were used for data analysis, and Amos Graphic 24 software was used for the structural equation model of the research. The findings of this research show that the Pearson correlation coefficient for the relationship between the two variables of sports-oriented lifestyle and social health of women in Borujerd city is significant at the medium level, and it has a weak but inverse relationship for the mental health variable of women in this city. On the other hand, the multivariable regression results of the research indicate the effect of the dimensions of interpersonal support, self-actualization and responsibility on the dependent variables of women's social health and mental health, as well as the independent variable of sports-oriented lifestyle with 0.55% of the variance of the social health variable and 0.35%. It explains the variance of the mental health variable of Borujerd city. Finally, the structural equation modeling of the research also shows that the research model has a good fit and the experimental data of this research supports the theoretical model of the research. As a multi-causal and multi-dimensional phenomenon, sports-oriented lifestyle is a valuable resource for promoting physical and mental health and improving quality of life.

The present study aims to propose a model for institutionalizing physical activity among housewives and employed women in Tehran. This applied research adopts an exploratory approach and utilizes grounded theory based on Strauss and Corbin's methodology. The research population includes experts and specialists in women’s sports, female sports authorities, and housewives and employed women from various districts of Tehran. A non-random, purposeful sampling method, specifically the snowball technique, was used to conduct in-depth interviews until theoretical saturation was achieved (after 36 interviews). Data analysis was carried out through open, axial, and selective coding. As a result, 714 open codes were identified, which were further refined into 161 concepts grouped under 22 categories. Based on the findings, it is recommended that institutions and organizations responsible for promoting physical activity implement the proposed model by addressing causal conditions, creating supportive environments, enhancing positive intervening factors, and managing negative intervening factors. By doing so, the institutionalization of physical activity among housewives and employed women in Tehran can be realized, allowing them to benefit from the outcomes of this initiative.

This research is to identify and explain the strategic challenges and their consequences in holding national sporting events from a constructivist perspective. The present study was qualitative research based on grounded theory. The participants were heads of different sports federations, managers of sports facilities in the province and faculty members of the Department of Sports Management. The selection method of interviewees was done through snowball sampling. The conducted interviews were analyzed using constructivist grounded theory coding.
The findings showed that holding sporting events in the country faces numerous strategic challenges at the macro and micro levels. These challenges included infrastructural, economic, socio-cultural, managerial, legal, security as well as environmental issues at the macro level and the challenges of politicization, monopolization, marketing and attracting capital at the micro level. In addition, trends such as changing laws and regulations related to sporting events, changing people's tastes and declining interest in some sports, climate change and increasing hazard conditions, technological developments and the need for more advanced equipment, increasing safety and health requirements for events, rising costs of holding sporting events and reducing government budgets for sports exacerbate these challenges. The emergence of these challenges can have consequences such as reduced event quality, stakeholder dissatisfaction, decreased participation and attendance of spectators, and a decline in the level of competitions. Therefore, it is essential to take measures to reduce these challenges by improving the economic, political, socio-cultural, infrastructural, security, and sports culture foundations. Given the identification of these challenges and precise and purposeful planning, it is possible to provide the necessary infrastructure for holding successful and high-quality sporting events.

The research is to design a financing model for Iranian sports federations. The research method was qualitative. This research was conducted in 6 phases, focusing on the "focus group" method. Qualitative interviews were used to collect information. Three stages of coding were used to analyze the data. The research model was drawn as a conceptual system framework based on the identified relationships. Finally, the research model was obtained in the focused research working group with the qualitative content analysis method (11 people). According to the conducted interviews, it was found that there are 6 main challenges of marketing, branding, communication, policy, facilities and laws related to the income generation of sports federations. Finally, it was found that sports federations can use financing methods in three general (marketing, branding, media and creation of industry and university units), macro (structural, event and rules) and specific sectors.
According to the findings, it can be said that Iranian sports federations have 3 main ways to secure their financial resources: General solutions that are fixed and applicable for all federations, Specific solutions that are different according to the characteristics of each federation, and Macro solutions that are not under the control of federations and upper institutions have the ability to influence them.
