Objective: The utilization of Guilan's indigenous-local capital and heritages is considered as an effective factor in diversifying sport tourism attractions, promoting economic prosperity and employment, and defining strategic priorities for sport tourism development.Methodology: In a applied and descriptive-analytical study, the supply of indigenous sports sports in Gilan province was identified and then the internal and external influencing factors on the development of tourism and sports were collected.By interviewing 10 sport tourism specialists and distributing the questionnaire among 132 sport and tourism professionals in Guilan and provincial sport tourists, who were selected based on purposive, convenience and snowball sampling, the most important factors were identified as strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Then, strategies were formulated into four groups of SWOT matrices using these factors and SWOT analysis. Finally, strategies were compared and ranked using paired comparisons in the AHP hierarchical analysis.Results: Geographical location, diverse natural attractions and indigenous-local ancient sports were the most important strengths for developing sports tourism in the province and lack of sport tourism infrastructure and lack of necessary cooperation between trustee organizations and local community were the most important weaknesses.Emploing and revitalizing and preserving the local capital and heritage of the local-indigenous sport tourism were the most important opportunity; and the elimination and neglect ion of cultural customs as well as the gradual degradation of natural resources were reported as the most important threats to provincial sport tourism from the statistical population perspective.Conclusion: Indigenous-Local Sport Tourism Offerings in Guilan, as a cultural and social capital have a growingfunction of introverts and extroverts at the micro and macro levels, but so far they have not been properly exploited. In order to plan and implement future programes for the sport tourism development and use these capitals, the first strategic priority is the defensive strategy in which the vulnerability removal of the study area and the use of effective strategies are emphasized.

Also, for data collection, snowball sampling and semi-structured interviews with 16 elites, who aware of the subject, were used. The collected data were analyzed by coding the Grounded Theory with the constructivist approach by Charms (2006). coding was done in two phases: initial coding and focused coding. Then theoretical coding was used to form focused codes. Also the data has been verified periodically by the researcher.Results: The Results shows that the model of sports talent development system in Iran has four parts which include: input (specialist human sources, financial sources and infrastructure sources) processes (talent management, competition, education, scientific approach and also three necessities like talent support, efficient structure, institutional coordination and communication) output (national and international successes, the development of championship and professional sport, gaining financial results and having enough talent) and feedback (Control and evaluation system).Conclusion: to implement a talent development system in the country, 15 key factors classified in 4 major modules should be considered. It is crucial to understand the importance of each module, since any minor problem in any of these modules, will generate problems for other modules.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the position of sport spending in Iranian households' consumption basket, to estimate sport demand and to calculate income elasticity.Methodology: In order to achieve this goal, using the cost and income data of the household in 2017, first, the status of sports expenses was assessed based on the household economic characteristics and then the sport demand was estimated using the Tobit model.Results: The results show a very small contribution of 0.15 and 0.27% of sports expenses to the total cost of rural and urban households. The results of the model estimation show that the increase in income, the literate of household's supervisor and the average age of youngest child in the household will increase the cost of sports. While increasing the age of the head of household and raising household members has a negative effect on sports expenses. Based on estimates, income elasticity of sports expenditure are equal to 1.1, which means the Sports is a luxury goods.Conclusion: Given the luxury of sport for Iranian households, the role of government institutions in building infrastructure and enhancing sports participation to promote community health is crucial. Accordingly, low-income households, Households with illiterate supervisor, retirees and villagers should be considered by the planners and policymakers of the country's sports sector.

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.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of virtual reality (VR) technology on creating telepresence and flow experience and their impact on brand attitude and purchase intention of sports products.Methodology: The present study was quasi-experimental research based on structural equation modeling. The sample size was determined to be 36 using G*Power, which was selected from students of Tehran University who were familiar with this brand. The sampling method was convenience and by accident. Measurement tools included the Keller and Block Vividness Questionnaire (1997), Kim and Ko’s flow experience Questionnaire (2019), the Homer’s Brand Attitude Questionnaire (1990), and the Kang, Lee, and Namkung Purchase Intention Questionnaire (2018). Virtual reality experience was created by the Quilo Virtual Reality Headset. On the other hand, after searching for 3D promotional videos, the 3D promotional video clip of the Mammut mountaineering apparel was selected. The method of implementation was completing the questionnaires by the samples after watching the VR advertisements. Finally, the research data was analyzed by structural equations in PLS 3 software.Results: The results showed that virtual reality leads to telepresence and flow experience if the image Vividness is appropriate and rich. The flow experience leads to a change of attitude that ultimately effects on the purchase intention.Conclusion: Overall, the results show that virtual reality technology is an appropriate tool for marketers to deliver a close flow experience to their customers. Nowadays, virtual reality technology has entered to the homes. So, it would be a valuable opportunity for marketers to provide the flow experience to customers at their homes.
