Researcher made questionnaire was used as investigation instrument. Validity of study instrument was confirmed through leisure time and spinal cord injury experts; as well as its internal reliability was found significant by cronbach’s alpha coefficient (a=0.79). For data analysis Pearson correlation, Chi-square and Contingency Coefficient were used. The results of the Pearson test revealed that there was significant negative relationship between age and the years post injury; with the amount of LTPA. The findings of Chi Square test demonstrated that there was significant relationship between the severity of injury and gender; with the amount of LTPA, but there was no significant relationship between sport and recreational facilities proximity with the amount of LTPA. Therefore, it is clear that women, older adults, people with less recent injuries and people with more severe injuries are general subgroups that had less LTPA. Thus, it is recommended for overcome unique barriers to LTPA, special attention and resources allocated to these groups.

The target population of this research consists of 50 expert’s beach volleyball. Research tools was a questionnaire consist of 61 questions that was design in four dimensions strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Face validity of this questionnaire was approved by 7 expert’s beach volleyball. Reliability of the questionnaire by using Cronbach's alpha Was obtained ./84.6.For data analysis; the researcher used the descriptive indexes, as Friedman test and SWOT analysis.The research findings indicate that Beach Volleyball at the present situation encounters 15 strengths, 21 weaknesses, 12 opportunities, and 13 threats. In the points of strengths the beach volleyball the only beach sport in Olympic games, in division of weakness a brings of this questions the lack of a talent scout system, in the point of opportunities: the existence of 3000 kilometers coastline in the country and in division, the more financial motivations in other majors as the highest scale of importance. The results also indicate that the beach volleyball in terms of strategic location and internal and external matrix in the region is conservative, also using matrix analysis, SWOT ,2 strategy so,3 strategy st, 8 strategy wo and 2 strategy is offered for convert weaknesses into strengths and threats into opportunities for development of beach volleyball.

The purpose of this study was to determine the validity and reliability of self-assessment time questionnaire. The statistical population of this study was the Sporty Authorities Boards of Khorasan-e Razavi Province (N=280) and the size of population was selected as, the size of sample. Measurement Instrument was a questionnaire of 55 questions of self-assessment time (John, 2010) included 2 subscales (general practices, delegation). The pointing method of questions was based on Likert range.(never, seldom, sometimes, almost, Always and points 1,2,3,4,5 respectively. Face and content validity of questionnaire was accepted after translation by professors Physical Education specialists. statistical methods was descript ional indexes for describing data, Cranach’s alpha for determining inner consistency and accepting factorial analysis based on determining relations and T-value. Analytical results showed (0.83) reliability for self-assessment time questionnaire. All questions, except 12, 45, 55 questions, had significant relation with its factor on structural validity and based on relations and T-value; and it was a good predictor of its factor. X2/df=2.023 and RMSEA=0.068 indexes accepted the goodness of fit, too. Also, the results about the relations of factors with the meaning of self-assessment time showed that all factors could be a good predictor for the concept of self-assessment time. Finally internal and external validity of self-assessment time model was accepted.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of eight weeks of regular corrective training program on lumbar Lordosis of girl students. Of the 200 girl students with hyperlordosis studied, 30 were randomly assigned to either an experimental group (n=15) or a control group (n=15).Main test instruments were include of flexible ruler, posture screen, sit and reach box and stopwatch. Corrective training program include stretch and strength training for eight weeks duration. Dedendent and independent t - test was used for Statistical analysis of data. Findings of this study showed that lumbar lordosis in experimental group significantly decreased. In addition, strength and endurance of abdominal muscles and flexibility of back muscle increased significantly, but changes in lateral range of trunk motion and flexibility of abdominal muscle was not significant. In other hand in post-test there was a significant difference between degrees of lumbar lordosis and endurance of abdominal muscles of experimental and control groups (p£0.05). Findings of this study revealed that corrective training program could be one of valid methods for treatment of lumbar lordosis and will help to prevent various physical problems such as low back pain.

The purpose of this study was prevalence of postural deformity of vertebral fcolumn in major thalassemic patients. Target population included of 87 male major thalassemic patients. sampels age mean was 21.87±2.83 years, weight main was59.72±9.82, k.g and height main was 168.42±8.72 cm. forward head ,inclined neck, degree of scoliosis, kyphosis and lordosis measured by New York test, and flexibility ruler. The obtained data were analyzed by Descriptive static.Results of this study indicated that some vertebral column abnormality is perevalent in thalassemic patients. In this field maximal abnormality in cervical vertabra was forward head (48.3) percente was the highest abnormality.and maximal abnormality in turasic and lumbar vertebra was lordosis (39.08) percente.The results showed that thalassemic major patients vertebra column deformity is perevalen. Because of this deformity some patients may suffer some pain in their back. Perhaps combination of several factors such as weakness of muscels and ligaments in this patients resulted in vertebral deformities Therefore it is nessessary encourege such patients to espcial exersice training and Principles of Ergonomy also therapeutist can designe corrective exersice in order for prevanting and treating of spineal abnormalies.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of core stability training on lumbar lordosis angle in girl students. Eighty six university girl students volunteered to participate in the study. Thirty four healthy subjects with ranged between 19-24 years old that had equal to or more than 55o were selected and were divided randomly into the three following groups: two experimental (n=12) and one control (n=10) groups. The experimental groups trained 3 times a week for 12 weeks. Before and after 12 weeks, the lumbar lordosis angle was measured using flexible ruler. Data were analyzed with dependent t -test, one-way ANOVA and Tukey post hoc tests. Level of significant was a£0.05. Results showed that the lumbar lordosis angle decreased significantly in core stability group compared with flexibility and control groups (p=0.001). We concluded that core stability trainings are the effective exercise protocol to improve lumbar lordosis angle.
