The aim of this study is to provide a smart way to predict the results of games played volleyball on the basis of the previous statistics. The population in this study includes all sports and sample in this research World League volleyball championship in 2014 Poland. The current study was a descriptive, analytical and descriptive part, game statistics, including the number of waterfalls, the number Defences on tour, the number of managed services, number of errors, time, and number of sets won and lost points are obtained from the official website of FIVB; and in the analysis, Neural Network Toolbox for MATLAB data analysis and a prediction model for which it was submitted. Graphs of simulation results show that the neural network layer with 8 inputs and 1 outputcoupled neurons in the hidden layer transfer function tansigmoid with 10 first and second transfer function in the hidden layer neurons purelin 8, with 93. 10% forecast in the training phase, 90% forecast in the verification and 82. 61% correct prediction in the test phase, a model for predicting outcomes in the World League volleyball tournament is. Therefore, this model can be used with very high precision. By doing research like this study can be very convenient, accurate and expert teams was held.

This study aimed to assess the knowledge of football referees from law issues of refereeing career. The total population of this study included all of the football referees in Isfahan in 1394 (2015) which actively cooperated with the football association of that city (N=100). 52 referees in various referring levels participated in this study.

The research was conducted in two stages, the first stage process using semi-structured interviews with 11 expert opinions, Management professors marketing, sports marketing, economics and vendors were set up at this stage 5 was identified indicators and 17 sub-indicators. To ensure the validity of the identified indicators, the Czech method was used by the interviewees. Compare Rates conflict as well as to the validity of 0. 09, 0. 03, 0. 08, 0. 05 and 0. 09 respectively. The results showed that the most important economic indicators, respectively, after the relative weight of 0. 39, 0. 256 of the brand, social, 0. 153, 0. 115 and tourist resorts after sales locations are weighing 0. 086. Also, in the sub-criteria weighting in the benchmark economically with the relative weight of 0. 492; the brand standard and ensure the quality of goods weighing 0. 462, 0. 515 in the social dimension of public problems in tourist resorts diversity after 0. 627 and in after sales locations offer extensive services in the first place was 0. 560 weight. According to the results it could be stated that the economic and dimensions of brand equity or brand of the most important factors in which a shopping preference of consumers due to cost and quality of the goods in throughput.

The purpose of present study was to design the model of male professional athletes' job satisfaction in Iranian team sports. The research method was descriptive. The population was 776 male athletes who participated in four team sports of Iranian premier league. The 360 professional athletes responded the structured questionnaire. A five-point Likert scale questionnaire with 66 items was constructed through literature review and exploratory interview with 23 athletes. The 17 sport management specialists as well as other experts confirmed the face validity of questionnaire. The reliability was estimated by Cronbach's alpha (α =0. 98). The data was analyzed using Friedman and structural equation modeling (SEM) with AMOS22 at the significance of P≤ 0. 05. The results showed that based on the mean ranks, job satisfaction outcomes (3. 48), processes (3. 47) and antecedents (3. 40) were prioritized respectively. The confirmatory factor analysis revealed that all the items were significant at the level of P≤ 0. 05. According to the structural equation modeling, the factors of organization (0. 89) and group (0. 87) were effective in the processes. Furthermore, the factors of group (0. 91) and environment (0. 92) were effective in the outcomes. At the second level of structural model, the processes with 0. 55 impact factor had more impact on athletes' job satisfaction. The results of the indirect effects of model showed that the antecedents with effect size of 0. 91 influenced the athletes' job satisfaction. In addition, the antecedents with effect size of 0. 99 affected the processes. Moreover, the processes with effect size of 0. 93 influenced the outcomes. Thus, club processes are very important in athletes' job satisfaction.

Violent in football is a social phenomenon that reflects the audience's readiness for aggression in the soccer fields. The aim of this study was to identify factors affecting law enforcement and social control in the capital derby league. This research is categorized under descriptive-survey research groups and is an applied one. Library and field study techniques and questionnaire was used for data collection. To confirm the scientific accuracy and validity of the measurement result to ensure content validity methods (survey of experts) and construct validity (convergent validity, the variance explained) and to ensure the reliability of the questions (Cronbach's alpha) was used. The Statistical population included 40 experts in law enforcement and all considered. Spss software using univariate analysis and evaluation of data as central tendency and dispersion were analyzed. For solidarity and significant relationship (to generalize to the statistical population) and the Spearman correlation coefficient to assess the extent and intensity of their relationship, so Tau-B Kendall coefficient was used. The research results showed that with the strengthening of management of the stadiums, the use of special and experienced agents, detect and prevent unsuitable persons from entering the stadiums, increase the impact of socialization factors, increased attention to the impact of the situation, the use of qualified judges, a true reflection of non-exaggerated news from the sporting press, increasing facilities to the audience in the stadium and provide appropriate behavioral patterns, can be controlled to make the most of fans' violence.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the research self-efficacy profile of physical education and sport sciences master’ s students and to determine individual differences. To this aim, 112 students (49 males and 63 females) from Islamic Azad universities of Golestan province in a cross-sectional descriptive study, completed individual information form and research self-efficacy scale. Resulted data were analyzed using one-sample t test and multivariate analysis of variance at 95% confidence level. Results showed that research self-efficacy of physical education master’ s students at Islamic Azad universities of Golestan province in all dimensions and overall level are higher than average level. However, research self-efficacy level in development and use of instrument, research design, and methodology were lower than other dimensions. Furthermore, none of main effects of individual characteristics including gender, bachelor major, type of master enrollment, place of education, educational orientation, athletic experience, and type of occupation on the dimensions and overall level of self-efficacy were not statistically significant. Findings of the study not only highlight master students’ weaknesses and strengths regarding their confidence level on own research abilities, but also suggest that individual characteristics could not be a basis for judgment on master students’ research self-efficacy in physical education and sport sciences.
