The purpose of this research was to identify key themes and provide a conceptual framework for capacity building in the development of community sports in Iran. The research method was a qualitative study with thematic analysis approach. The research participants included scientific experts (university professors and researchers) and executive experts (managers and experts of the research organizations). The number of samples was 15 according to theoretical saturation. Sampling was done by theoretical method. The research tool included semi-structured exploratory interviews along with its supplementary library study. The validity of the tool and the results were evaluated and confirmed based on the competence of the sample, the validity of the content of the questions, and the agreement between the coders. Multi-stage conceptual coding method was used to analyze the findings. The framework extracted from the qualitative findings included 4 levels, 9 perspectives, 30 dimensions and 88 components. Four conceptual constructs in the sequence of overall impact-effectiveness of their subcategory themes in the model include; The environmental base of capacity building (drivers and inhibitors), the ability of the multi-sectoral system of capacity building (strategies, processes and levels), the capacity building of development axes (the axes of resources and mechanisms) and the functions of capacity building of public sports (development of capacities) public sports and public sports for sustainable development). Based on the findings, it can be said that capacity building for the development of public sports is a systematic process based on environmental capacities and challenges, strategic efficiency and a systemic process

The statistical population of this study includes managers of sports federations, coaches, athletes, and referees. The statistical sample was estimated to be 10 to 20 times the dimensions drawn in the conceptual model based on a sufficient number of models for modeling in PLS software (n=160). A researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect data also formal validity of questionnaire was confirmed by experts (12 people). Its reliability was estimated by using Cronbach's alpha test (0.91) and combined reliability. Structural equation modeling was used in PLS3-SPSS24 software for analyze data and investigating fit of model.Results: Results indicated that effect of causal and contextual and interventionist conditions on professionalization of sports federations (0.37), (0.19), (0.74) were significant. Also, contextual and interventionist conditions on strategies (0.28), (0.24). Finally, the results showed that the effect of professionalization on strategies (0.58), and strategies with consequences (0.84) is direct, positive and significant.Conclusion: : Based on the findings of this study, it can be concluded that recognizing the paths of the professionalization process can help Iranian sports federations to achieve a business process.

Objective: The purpose of current study was to develop a pattern of women’s conceptual thinking about corporal aesthetic in sport clubs.Methodology: It was qualitative research based on Grounded Theory. To collect data, semi-structured interview was used. Data was analyzed through Grounded Theory (Strauss and Corbin 1998 Approach) and presented in term of paradigm. Sampling was based on theoretical one and purposive (judgment) and snowball (chain) techniques were considered. To this end, we interviewed with 50 customers of sport clubs in Tehran.Results: Results showed that marriage opportunity, relationship with opposite sex, determinism, attracting attention in virtual space, social changes in erotic capital, fashionism and generation gap were recognized as causal conditions. Intervention conditions were role strain, social comparison, social tagging phobia and awareness of others’ judgment. Emotion suppression, media and simulation of others were found as context conditions. Women’s covering management, extracting people’s opinion and behavioral expression were strategies. Ethical and cultural consequences, mental aspect, and socioeconomic consequences were all the consequences. Finally, individual achievement, appearance beauty, attracting attention in social environments were the main phenomena.Conclusion: Among women, the dominant culture of body image is based on fashion and media where the commercializing and consumerism are the core of body concept. According to results, it is proposed to reconsider the components to develop women’s conceptual thinking about corporal aesthetic through view of health orientation.

Researcher-maker questionnaire had used brand personality that derives from standard questionnaire of Khodadadi (1393) and customer loyalty questionnaire of Allen (1990). From view the 10 sport management professors and relevant experts has been used to estimate the content validity questionnaire and using Cronbach's alpha coefficient were obtained its reliability (brand personality 0/839 and Customer loyalty 0/720). Descriptive statistics was used to describe study variables and to analyze the test data and the Pearson correlation coefficient and regression and KS. Results: The results showed that between personality brand with loyalty of fans there is a direct and significant relationship (p=0/001), and both dimensions of personality brand (Competence and excitement) have significant impact on brand loyalty (p=0/001). The regression analysis showed that, in both aspects of behavioral loyalty and attitudinal loyalty (Beta coefficient=0/179, 0/390. P=0/001), the excitement has the first importance for the prediction of brand loyalty towards the brand personality. Personal competency aspect in behavioral aspect of loyalty was significant (p=0/003) but it was not significant in attitudinal loyalty aspect (p=0/176).
