The Purpose of this study was to compare body composition and some physical factors in elite wrestlers and non-athletes.30 students were selected randomly and participated in two groups (15 wrestlers and 15 non-athletes). BF%, lean body weight, strength, velocity and agility were measured. T-test and Pearson correlation coefficient indicated that body fat percent, strength, velocity, and agility in elites and non-athletes were significantly different. Whereas lean body weight and body mass index in two groups were not significant different. The results showed that there was a significant correlation between body fat percent and velocity, agility and velocity, and agility and height in elite wrestlers.

This study is compare mental health and locus of control in professionals, amateur athletes and no athletes. The sample of this research includes 150 professionals, amateur athletes and no athletes of West Azarbayjan, East Azarbayjan, and Ardabil. They were homogeneous in age, marital status, subject of education, level of education and level of income. The research method was causal - comparative. Therefore, professionals, amateur athletes, and non athletes were considered as independent variables and locus of control and mental health as dependent variables. Rater locus of control inventory and Goldberg mental health inventory were used to collect the data. The results showed that: There is a significant difference in locus of control. Among professionals, amateurs, and non-athletes (P<0.05).

This study is conducted to survey the influence of personal characteristics of managers in Physical Education Organization and in Ministry of Science, Research and Technology on innovation and management of opposition. The sample of the study consisted of all high level and intermediate-level managers of Physical Education Organization (n=75) and Ministry of Scienc, Research and Technology (n=85). The tools of measurement included (1) innovation questionnaire of Dr.Abedl consisting of 60 three-choice questions, 2) Robin's questionnaire of management of opposition consisting of 30 seven-choice questions, and 3) the questionnaire of personal characteristics of managers consisting of 12 questions. Statistical methods used in this study included correlation coefficient of pearson, t test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, multiple regression and Chi-square test. To assure the reliability of the questionnaires, retesting was used with an interval of 20 days.

The effects of exercise on different body systems, especially cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems, are evidenced. We studied the effect of physical fitness on cogulation factors in healthy young men. Subjects were 26 healthy young men. They were divided into two groups according to their level of fitness. Physically active men (Ac, n=10) were involved in regular exercise at least three times a week from two months ago.Sedentary men (Se, n=16) did not participate in any physical activity. According to primary clinical examinations, anthropometric variables had no significant difference in two groups, whereas Bruce test and a standardized ergometery test proved that functional capacity of cardiovascular system in Ac group was significantly higher than that Se group.

The Purpose of this Investigation was to study the effect of wins and losses on the self-efficacy of league football players with respect to objective direction. 60 football players randomly participated in the study and were assigned to either an ego orientation or task orientation group with respect to direction aim. After and before fame, the data were collected using self efficacy and direction alms questionnaires.Independent T-test indicated that self efficacy of task and ego orientation groups increased significantly before competitions and after win. The results showed that self efficacy of task and ego orientation groups decreased significantly after loss.

To conduct this study, 30 female students aged between 19 and 25 in Lorestan University (average age: 21±1/7) were randomly selected from 48 subjects with curved lumbar arch above the mean (X=46). They were divided into an experimental group (15 subjects). In pretest, the lumbar arch was measured by the flexible ruler, the hamstring muscle flexibility by SLR Test, the flexor hip muscle shortage by Thomas test, the lumbar muscle flexibility by Schober Test and the strength of abdominal muscles was measured by sit-up Test. The experimental group performed a corrective exercise for 8 weeks, 3 sessions a week, each session 60 minutes. The control group didn't perform any corrective exercise during this period.There is a significant difference in curved lumbar arch between experimental and control group at a=0.05 (P=0.048).

The purpose of this research was to study the effect of a morning and afternoon training program on training and test times adaptations in order to study the probable changes in physical fitness and motor factors related to the time of program. To this end, simple reaction time in response to visual stimulus, maximum isometric strength of hand, anaerobic power of legs and endurance of shoulder muscles were measured in pretest (afternoon) and posttest (morning and afternoon). 20 volunteer male students with at least one year of experience in constant wrestling related training were divided to two experimental groups randomly: group one: training time 9.11 a.m., group two: training time 4-6 p.m. Both groups performed a 3-week wrestling training program for 4 sessions per week. Analyzing the multifactor variance showed: there was no significant adaptation to training time in none of the factors. Indeed, there was no significant among various measurement times and the maximum isometric strength of hand (P=0.195).

The purpose of this study was to compare sport orientations between female and male university athlete students in individual and team sports in seventh Olympiad and its relationship with their competitive motives (N=2350). The sample of this study consisted of 720 male and female athlete students in individual and team sports. The instruments for this study were sport orientation questionnaire (SOQ) Gill and Deeter (1988) and sport attitude inventory questionnaire (SAl) of Willis (1986). The criterion validity and test -retest of these two instruments were significant at P<0.05.Testing proposed hypotheses at P<0.05 showed the following results: There was no significant difference between male and female students in their competitive motives.However, there were significant differences in dimension of competitiveness and goal setting of athlete students in team sports.

In order to study the effects of vitamin E, Vitamin C or combination of vitamin E and C supplement on bioenergetic index (aerobic and anaerobic power). 36 physical education college students (male) were selected non randomly and divided into 4 groups randomly. Average age, weight, height and fat percentage were (22.48±1/84) years, (64.93±7.84) Kg, (175.4±5.66) cm and (1094±5.29) mm respectively. The period considered for consumption of vitamins by experimental group was 3 weeks. During this period, the first group consumed 400m.g vitamin E and second group 1000m.gvitamin C and third group 400m.g VE plus 1000 mg VC daily and fourth group (control group) consumed placebo. The test in this research consists of assessment of anaerobic power by «Rast», test 2 assessment of aerobic power by Cooper test.

The purpose of this study was to estimate patterns of variation In body fat percent, body mass Index, body density and somatotype In girls aged between 13 and 17 In Hamadan. From guidance and high schools in Hamadan, some schools were randomly selected. 500 students (In 5 age - groups) were selected randomly from students aged between 13 and 17. Subjects' body fat percent was assessed with Slaughter Equation, body density with Parlzcova Equation, somatotype with Health-Carter nomograph. Data were analyzed using coefficient of correlation and t-test (P<0.05).Analysis of data showed that %BF ascends between 13 and 15 years of age and then It descends. BMI ascends at the age of ..., It reaches a steady state at the age of 16 and then it descends at the age of 17.
