The purpose of this research was to compile the external model of championship sports in Khuzestan province based on structural-interpretive modeling. This research was based on the purpose of developmental-applied type and in terms of method it was exploratory. The method of conducting this research was qualitative. The society included scientific elites (university professors) and experimental elites (sports managers at the level of trustee offices). The statistical sample in the qualitative section was a targeted sampling of desirable cases, which was interviewed with 13 experts. The data collection tool was a semi-structured interview. Acceptability, transferability and verifiability were used to determine reliability and the coefficient (86.20%) was obtained and the reliability of the interview was confirmed. Micmac software was also used to draw the structural-interpretive model. After analyzing the interviews, 26 indicators were obtained in the form of 4 concepts in the field of threats and 20 indicators in the form of 4 concepts in the field of opportunities. The result of interpretive-structural modeling showed that the highest level of influence was related to the component of management problems and the highest level of influence was related to the advertising opportunity. Considering the high impact of management problems outside the sports system, the need for coordination between different institutions and the importance of dealing with sports in non-sports organizations is felt.

Athlete migration is one of the major challenges facing developing countries, including Iran, which is influenced by complex economic, social, and sports-related factors. The aim of this study is to provide a typology of these migrations. This research was conducted using a qualitative approach and thematic analysis, and data were collected through semi-structured interviews, documents, and published reports. The findings of the study revealed that two main factors influence the migration decisions of Iranian athletes: (1) social network relations, and (2) the perception of socio-economic instability. From the intersection of these two factors and the analyzed codes, five types of migration were identified: temporary migration, migration based on dependency and cultural ties, migration for career development, migration driven by livelihood challenges, and migration with the intention of seeking asylum. The results indicate that managing this phenomenon requires supportive policymaking, improvement of economic conditions, and the creation of professional opportunities. This study can assist sports managers and policymakers in designing effective strategies.

Technological advancements, particularly artificial intelligence (AI), are fundamentally transforming all aspects of wrestling. This study employed a contextual approach to model the enabling factors of software infrastructure for Iranian wrestling. As an applied qualitative research utilizing constructivist grounded theory, the study adopted an exploratory data collection methodology. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with key wrestling stakeholders including administrators, academic experts, coaches, referees, and active wrestlers. While non-random purposive sampling continued until theoretical saturation was achieved after 15 interviews, demonstrating 0.77 inter-rater reliability.Data analysis was performed using MAXQDA 2020 software through three-stage constant comparative coding (open, axial, and selective). Initial open coding of wrestling software infrastructure transcripts yielded 387 concepts, subsequently refined to 85 core concepts through consolidation. The emergent model identified: causal factors (management/planning systems and competition efficiency), contextual factors (digital platform development and scientific infrastructure), strategic factors (informatics systems and AI analytics), and intervening factors (financial constraints), ultimately leading to propaganda-related outcomes.Based on the research findings, it appears that establishing an Information Technology and Artificial Intelligence Committee within the Wrestling Federation, utilizing AI algorithms to evaluate techniques, leveraging biomechanical and psychological data to identify top talents, and training managers, coaches, and referees in the use of digital tools could bring about a practical transformation in Iranian wrestling

The aim of the current research was to structure the factors that influence the enlargement of the activities performed in public sports. This research is a descriptive research that was conducted in the field. The statistical population of the present study included all experts who are aware of public sports. These people included managers and employees of the Federation of General Sports who have complete information in the field of policy making, as well as sports management professors who are knowledgeable about the field of general sports. Based on the selection of snowball until reaching the theoretical saturation, we determined the number of 54 people (12 people from the general sports federation and also 42 people from the professors of sports management knowledgeable about general sports) as the sample of the research. In order to analyze the data of the present research, statistical methods of Smirnov's chromatograph and T-Tech test were used using SPSS software. And also the interpretative structural modeling method was used using the Mik-Mac software. The results showed that the lack of financial resources in public sports, the appointment of managers far from examining their experiences in public sports, the ambiguity regarding the functions and roles of the trustees of public sports in the country, and the lack of managerial stability in sports organizations are among the key independent factors based on The method of interpretative structural modeling of these factors is the cause of influencing other existing factors on the enlargement of the activities performed in public sports. In other words, in order to manage the expansion of the activities carried out in public sports, it is necessary to pay serious attention to the identified key independent factors and try to solve these factors.

The aim of this study was to present an interpretive structural model of the factors influencing the branding of national team athletes. The research method employed was mixed-methods. The study's population consisted of experts in the field (including branding consultants, branding practitioners, branding experts, and university professors specializing in sports marketing and branding). The selection criterion for the experts in the qualitative section was theoretical saturation, and 19 individuals were selected using purposive sampling and the snowball strategy. These identified individuals were then used for the interpretive structural analysis in the quantitative section. Data collection tools included semi-structured interviews in the qualitative section and a 13×13 square matrix in the quantitative section. To ensure validity and reliability of the results, strategies such as credibility, transferability, confirmability, process audit study, and inter-coder agreement were employed. The qualitative data analysis was conducted in two stages: initial coding and focused coding, while the quantitative data analysis was performed using interpretive structural modeling (ISM) and MICMAC analysis. The findings revealed 13 determining factors related to the branding of national team athletes. Based on the interpretive structural analysis, the relationships between the factors were categorized into five levels, resulting in a hierarchical relational model. The results indicate that media attractiveness leads to the personal branding of national team athletes, and these athletes need to enhance their level of socialization through lower-level variables in the hierarchy before reaching this stage.

The purpose of this study was to design a model of drivers that are effective on the future of sports workers in Iran. This research is developmental-applicative in terms of its nature, mixed (qualitative-quantitative) with an exploratory-sequential design. The target population of the research was experts who were aware of the research topic. In order to conduct in-depth interviews and collect qualitative data from the targeted technique to the theoretical saturation stage, 17 people were selected as a sample, and to complete the questionnaires made by the quantitative researcher, a sample of 5 Person was suggested. The validity of the data of the qualitative part of the research was confirmed through continuous observation and review by a colleague, and the reliability of the data was estimated at 89% using the bicoder index method. The validity of the quantitative data was confirmed by using the Lavshe content validity ratio of 80% and their reliability with Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 86%. Based on the thematic analysis method based on the model of Braun and Clark (2006), the drivers affecting the future of sports-workers in Iran were identified and then modeling was done using structural-interpretive analysis (ISM). In the findings of the research, 112 primary concepts were identified in the form of 23 sub-themes and 15 main themes. These drivers were placed on the first level in the seven levels of the structural-interpretive model consisting of drivers of needs assessment, promotion of supervision and promotion of innovation, which had the least impact on other drivers, as well as information system drivers. And the development of interactions in the second level and the drivers of attitude change, social status, economic platforms and media attention were placed in the third level of the research model. Also, drivers of operational planning and financial resources were placed at the fourth level, and drivers of efficient management and infrastructure development were placed at the fifth level, and finally, cultural drivers were placed at the sixth level and planning. They were strategically placed at the seventh level of the model. Therefore, according to the role of workers in the development and improvement of the country, managers should use all available capacities to promote public and professional sports among the working class with comprehensive planning and infrastructure development.

The present study aimed to investigate the sociological pattern of sports habitus among the elderly in Tehran. This research was conducted using a qualitative approach and thematic analysis, and data were collected through semi-structured interviews. The statistical population included sports sociologists, senior managers of the Ministry of Sports and Youth, senior managers of the Tehran Municipality Sports Organization, and elderly individuals actively engaged in sports. Sampling was done using the snowball method until theoretical saturation was reached (18 participants). Data were analyzed using MAXQDA software, and the validity and reliability of the research were confirmed. For data analysis, open, axial, and selective coding was employed. Based on the analysis, three main categories (overarching themes) were identified: social capital, cultural capital, and physical capital. Within these three categories, nine organizing themes were extracted, including social interactions, elderly gatherings, social status, socialization, social support, social motivation, physical and bodily capital, the promotion of elderly sports culture, and knowledge and awareness of the elderly. Additionally, the study identified 45 basic themes, each of which represents different dimensions of sports habitus among the elderly. The findings indicate that the pattern of sports habitus among the elderly is shaped by social, cultural, and physical capital, and understanding these components can provide a framework for future research in the sociology of elderly sports. It is recommended that policymakers and sports managers implement initiatives such as establishing neighborhood-based sports groups to enhance social interactions among the elderly, developing sports facilities and equipping public centers with appropriate amenities, conducting educational and awareness programs in the media, supporting intergenerational sports programs to strengthen family relationships, and offering incentive policies such as discounts at sports centers for the elderly. These measures can facilitate increased participation in sports activities among the elderly and contribute to a healthier lifestyle for this demographic.

Purpose: The purpose of this research is to design a pattern for identifying and classifying the components of social hope among Iranian youth by summarizing the research conducted in the field of social hope with a meta-synthesis approach.Method: For this purpose, the studies conducted in the field of hope between 1390 and 1400 have been examined. Based on this, 15 out of 22 articles were selected as the statistical population for analysis. Met-synthesis is the summation of qualitative studies for providing a deeper understanding of the subjectFindings: The findings showed that 6 categories with 40 concepts are effective in creating social hope. These categories and concepts include social factors(social trust, social participation, social norms, social alienation, social anomie, social prestige, social networks, social power, social security, social justice, social acceptance, and social vitality), family factors(family income, parental education, and family support), economic factors(inflation, economic capital, economic alienation, economic anomy, and economic poverty), political factors(political stability, sanctions, political economy, and political security), demographic factors(education, gender, age, number children, and physical health), and individual-psychological factors(religious beliefs, self-efficacy, hedonism, purposefulness, responsibility, desire to progress, hard work, economic and social base, psychological security, and professional identity). According to research findings, among these factors, social and individual-psychological factors are more decisive.Results: The research results show that more success in personal and private life; access to resources, opportunities and power; as well as higher experiences makes people more ready for social change and strengthens the hope for the future among communities.

This article seeks to understand how puberty is experienced by single, employed, and educated girls. The research method is phenomenological. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews. Thirty single, employed, and educated girls aged 25 to 45 living in Semnan and Shahrood cities, who were selected through purposive sampling, were interviewed. Then, in the level 1 coding, we reached 13 categories: "time of puberty experience", "importance of puberty event", "how to deal with puberty symptoms", "customs and customs of facing puberty", "mother's role in facing puberty", "consciously facing puberty", "semiconsciously facing puberty", "unconsciously facing puberty", "perception of women", "approach to one's own gender", "perception of marriage", "desire to marry" and "unwillingness to marry" and in the level 2 coding, we reached 5 main categories: "time of puberty event", "how to deal with puberty", "level of awareness of puberty", "perception of femininity" and approach to marriage. The results of the analysis of the findings show that the experience of puberty and the way of facing it play a role in the perception of femininity and sexual socialization of girls. Mothers are one of the main sources of education for girls during puberty. The experience of puberty and how it is dealt with varies across generations. Differences in the experience of puberty lead to differences in the understanding of femininity. This affects the way unmarried girls deal with marriage.
