Methodology: In this research, using the study method of documents and libraries, the existing texts and sources were studied. Then, by comparing themes, the use of the term "Physical Literacy" became apparent. Result: The researcher first examined the lexical and idiomatic meanings of each word that makes up the term Physical Literacy and then examined the entire nominal composition of Physical Literacy. Finally, by introducing the field of use of this term and explaining the reference authors regarding the reasons for choosing this term, the best Persian equivalent was achieved. Conclusion: The best Persian equivalent for the term Physical Literacy is " سواد جسمانی". Therefore, other equations introduced such as "Body literacy" and "Motor literacy" are not comprehensive and correct equivalents for the term Physical Literacy.

The failure of teams in the leagues has been a constant issue and progress and gaining status has been a challenge for all clubs; Therefore, the purpose of this study was predicting the success of football clubs in the Asian Champions League. Methodology: The present study is descriptive-correlational. Seven Asian countries that won the AFC Champions League between 2014 and 2019 were analyzed. At the level of descriptive statistics, mean and standard deviation, and at the level of inferential statistics, because the response variable (success) was a qualitative variable, the logistic regression model was used. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software. Results: Findings showed that 80% of the success of clubs in the AFC Champions League is correctly identified using the research model and foreign players, the average value of each player, the total value of the club and the number of players in a team have a positive impact on the success of football clubs in the AFC Champions League. And the age of the players has a negative effect, in other words, the lower average age can contribute to the success of football clubs in the AFC Champions League. Conclusion: Therefore, these factors are considered as a comparative advantage for the success of clubs and managers and stakeholders are suggested to put the necessary planning and investment on their agenda to achieve these things.
