Methods of survey and the population of citizens that the number of multi-stage cluster sampling method 800 of them were selected to complete questionnaires. And finally the results obtained using structural equation modeling (SEM) showed an inverse relationship between consumption of media (internet and satellite) and family values. It was also found that media consumption is inversely with the degree of religiosity of people. The results showed that there is a direct relationship between religiosity and adherence to family values. Hearts interpretations rented, single-player tables, reflecting the effects of media on their family values. The recommendations in line with the appropriate policy in this regard are provided.

This article is from a research. At this research the obstacles and limitations of commitment to ethic citizenship is studied by considering the major structural obstacles (mind-objective) in dimensions of (practical- attitude and values) among 18-29 year old youth in Tehran. Whether the structural constraints (subjective objective) in the dimensions (practical, attitude, value) of the commitment to citizenship ethics affect the young people of Tehran, or not, is the main question of the present research. In the theoretical framework of this research, Parsons 'theories have been used to explain the independent variable (structural barriers and constraints) and Durkheim, Giddens, and Habermas' theory to explain the dependent variable (commitment to citizenship ethics). This research has been carried out in a survey method. Data collection was done using questionnaire tool (researcher made). Sample size was obtained by random sampling. So, after dividing Tehran into different regions, cluster and random sampling was performed with respondents interviewing and information needed. The statistical population of the study is Tehranian citizens aged 18 to 29 years. Assumptions were analyzed using Pearson's empirical tests, regression and path analysis. The results of the research indicated that structural constraints in social, cultural, personality and biological dimensions are related to the commitment to citizenship ethics and the cultural system has the most restrictive effect on the dependent variable of commitment to citizenship ethics. In general, in the present research, the main problem, the structural barriers and constraints in the commitment to citizenship ethics, can be explained in terms of the theories of Parsons. Also, based on the theory of Habermas, Giddens, Durkheim and Popper, the effect of structural constraints on commitment to citizenship ethics is possible.

In the resent research, we intend using a sociological view that includes both theoretical and field sections, explaining the factors affecting Participation of veterans in sports activities. To explain the independent variable, which is a socio- economic status, we use Pierre Bourdieu -contemporary theorist- theory, but in the case of the dependent variable that is sports participation, we use the theories of sports sociology theorists such as Rowland and Freedson, Scanlan and Simon. The field section is a survey and the data measured, described and analyzed using the questionnaire technique. The research sample consisted of 372 athlete veterans in Tehran province. The sampling method is a multi-stage cluster sampling. After completing the questionnaires, the data were analyzed using SPSS software and statistical tests. Processes and statistical tests represent the fact that there is a significant difference between the dimensions of the socio-economic status of athlete veterans (income, occupation and education), age, marital status, sports fields, percentage of veterans and veterans' participation in sport activities.

In order to analysis data multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) and one way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were used. The results indicated that just in the mean of agreement factor and in the mean of physical activity factor, there is significant difference between two groups of team and individual athletes, in a way that the mean of score of group athletes are higher than individual athletes. In addition, the result indicated that anxiety has no significant difference between two groups. It can be concluded that in against to individual athletes, there are more amount of confidence, cooperation and sympathy in team athletes, and all of the team members try more to be prepared for proving their ability and being fixed member of the team.

This study is to investigate the effects of 10 weeks of endurance (E), strength (S) and concurrent (combined E and S) training on plasma level of IL-6 and cortisol in untrained men. In this semi-experimental study, 38 healthy volunteer males (age 24.89±1.21 yrs, height 175.87±6.52 cm, weight 71.98±9.33 kg) were randomly assigned to endurance (N=10), strength (N=9), concurrent (N=10), and control group (N=9). Treatment was conducted three times per week. After 10 weeks, the maximal bench press and squat strength of strength and concurrent groups were improved significantly (P≤0.05). Similar increment was observed in VO2max in endurance and concurrent groups (P≤0.05). Endurance training didn’t have any significant effect on IL-6 (p=0.107), and cortisol (p=0.38) levels. Strengths training also didn't affect on IL-6 (p=0.63), but resulted in a significant increment in plasma level of cortisol (p=0.001). There wasn’t any significant effect of concurrent training on IL-6 (p=0.162) and cortisol levels (p=0.38). However, only the difference (D) of changes in IL-6 in the concurrent group was significantly lower than control groups (p= 0.016, 0.710±1.475 vs 0.855±1.31). In conclusion, our results showed that adding the strength training to endurance training, not only, does not compromise the immune function in untrained men, but also can efficiently improve its function.
