Results: Between self-efficacy (β = 0. 15, P = 0. 004), awareness (β = 0. 23, P = 0. 01) and physical activity intention (β = 0. 19, P = 0. 002) with physical activity There was a significant positive correlation. But there was no significant correlation between outcome expectations (β = 0. 01, P = 0. 72) with physical activity. Conclusions: Self-efficacy, awareness and intention have a significant positive correlation with physical activity. Therefore, it is suggested that public sport managers, especially the Tehran Municipality Sport Organization, engage in social media programs to encourage people to participate in public sport programs.

Face, content, and construct validity and reliability were measured. SmartPLS 2. 0 M3 software was used for data analysis. Results: There was a significant positive correlation between physical activity of parents (t=2/31, β =0/22) and physical activity of children. However, there was not a significant correlation between parental support for physical activity (t=0/72, β =0/10) sense of community (t=0/83, β =0/09) children's perception of parental support (t=1/93, β =0/26) and neighborhood environment (t=0/05, β =-0/006) with children physical activity.

Introduction: With age, the immune system decreases. Improving immune function in the elderly through exercise has an important role in the health of the elderly. The purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of twelve weeks of Pilates training on immune markers in elderly men. Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 22 elderly men with mean age (65 ± 2. 81) years were purposefully selected and randomly divided into two experimental and control groups. Pilates training program was performed for 12 weeks, three days a week for 60 minutes. The intensity of exercise was controlled by the "Rating of Perceived Exertion" (RPE) Monocytes, neutrophils, and lymphocytes were measured before and 48 hours after the last training session. Content validity and Cronbach's alpha were measured. SPSS. 23 was used for data analysis. Results: 12 weeks of Pilates training significantly increased monocyte level (P = 0. 001, F = 315. 87) (18. 21%) and significantly decreased neutrophil counts (P = 0. 001). P, F = 56. 57 (5. 65%) and lymph nodes (P = 0. 001, F = 31. 26) (5. 33%) in the experimental group compared to the control group (P<0. 05). Conclusions: Pilates exercises for a relatively long time can be effective in stimulating and altering immune system parameters in the elderly. It is recommended that seniors use this type of exercise to strengthen their immune systems and improve their health.

Results: Of the 10 studies, 7 were hospital-based, 2 were outpatient, and 1 were in the laboratory. Of these articles, 5 articles were about comparing the effectiveness of surgical masks with N95 masks and 1 article was about comparing the policies of choosing a surgical mask and N95 mask and 4 other articles were comparing surgical masks and N95 masks in preventing influenza. None of the articles found a link between the use of surgical masks and N95 masks and protection against influenza infection.
