Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to design an interpretive structural model of indicators affecting the successful implementation of the general physical education courses in Iranian universities.
Methodology: The statistical population of the study consisted of 10 experts from university sports and physical education, senior executives of the Ministry of Science and heads of physial education colleges, physical education professors, as well as faculty members who were tareted. The data collection tool was a questionnaire. The interpretative structural modeling tecnique was used the successful implementation of the General Unit of Physical Education with the help of MATLAB software. For this purpose, the experts have been used, and a couple of questionnaires have been distributed among the expert group in terms of influence and influence on each other.
Results: In examining the relationships between research components, the components of "life satisfaction and health" are in the first level, and "structure and improvement" are in the second level, which indicates the high impact of these variables. Also, the components of "management and infrastructure" were in the third and fourth levels, and in the fifth and last level, the component of "education" was placed, which were the most effective indicators. Finally, using the MICMAC technique, the variables were analyzed in terms of conductivity and dependence.
Conclusion: Student sports require careful planning, and according to the legal requirements of education, a suitable structure can be provided for the implementation of physical education curricula at the university.
