However, it is not clear which exercise program has more favorable effects during childhood. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a rope and elastic training course on physical fitness in elementary school student’ s girls. Methods: In this semi-experimental study, 30 girl’ s students were selected from elementary school In norabad city and randomly divided into three include rope training (n=10), Elastic training (n=10) and control groups (n=10). The rope and elastic training were performed 30 minutes, 3 days a week for 8 weeks. The control group only had their daily activities during this period. Before the beginning of the study and the end of the study, factors related to physical fitness and fitness were measured. For analysis of the research findings, analysis of variance, t-test and tukey post hoc test were used at the significant level P<0. 05. Results: The results showed that eight weeks of rope and elastic training significantly improved openstatic balance with open eyes, static balance with closed eyes, power, agility, speed, cardiovascular endurance, and maximal limb strength in girl’ s students (P=0. 001). Also, there was no significant difference between the effect of rope training than the elastic group on physical fitness and motor fitness in girl’ s students (p> 0. 05). Conclusions: It can be concluded that rope and elastic training can improve physical fitness and motor fitness, and there is no significant difference between the effects of two types of exercises.

Introduction: The rapid increase in the prevalence of obesity, which has been a multifactorial problem for the past 20 years, has been attributed not only to genetic factors, but also to cultural environmental factors, including the family environment, eating and activity. This study was conducted with the aim of modeling children's obesity based on self-efficacy and maternal body mass index with emotional mediation and the level of physical activity of the child. Methods: The research method is based on the purpose, applied and in terms of how to collect data, a description of the type of correlation that was done using the structural equation modeling model or causal modeling. The statistical population of the present study includes 280 students aged 7 to 12 years in Tehran in 1397. In this study, self-efficacy tools, maternal body mass index, emotional overeating and the level of physical activity of the child were used. Results: Based on the results of path analysis, self-efficacy (β =-0. 255, P <0. 01), maternal body mass index (β = 0. 382, P > 0. 01), child activity level (β =-0/240, P> 0. 01) and also the child's emotional overeating (β = 0. 126, P > 0. 01) directly predict the child's body mass index. Also, the results of the model showed that 71. 8% of the variance of the child's body mass index, 58. 4% of the variance of the child's activity level and 22. 5% of the child's variance of emotional overeating are explained using the variables in the model. Conclusions: Prevention of lifestyle diseases requires attention to the structural and functional dimensions of the causes of life. One of the most important determinants of children's eating behaviors is the nutritional methods used by parents. This has been shown to affect both parents and children.

Introduction: Role conflict in working mothers is one of the most important sources of stress for the individual and the family. Vulnerable groups, including children, will have many problems with this conflict. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between psycho-social factors in the workplace with aggression of female nursing staff working in Isfahan Al-zahra Hospital, Iran. Methods: The present study is a descriptive-correlational research conducted in 2018. There were 110 female nursing staff working in different wards of Al-Zahra Hospital with pre-school age children. Data collection was done by demographic questionnaires, Copenhagen psycho-social factors and aggression in pre-school children. Results: The mean score of work-family conflict nursing staff was 77. 43 ± 18. 76 and their offensive behaviors were 9. 86 ± 5. 53 out of 100, respectively, which had the highest and least impact on the psycho-social factors of workplace, respectively. The mean score of children's aggression was 27. 33± 18. 82 out of 84. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that importance, job satisfaction, work-family conflict, and health and welfare, respectively, were significant predictors of children's aggression score (P <0. 05), and in the presence of these three factors, scores other psychosocial factors were not significant predictors of children's aggression score. Conclusions: In this study, all psychosocial factors of mothers' work environment did not have a direct effect on child aggression, which indicates that mothers in health care pay attention to maternal role in children's emotional-psychological development and control of factors affecting workconflict. It is family, but what is important for health managers is to pay attention to the occupational components of employees.

Introduction: The previous studies have not identified the role of family accommodation in each of childhood anxiety disorders.

Results: All parents of anxious children performed family accommodation, as well as the most accommodation performed by parents, with reassurance. Also, family accommodation was positively and significantly associated with all anxiety problems (except generalized anxiety) (p<0. 05). Conclusions: Family accommodations are quite common among families of anxious children and facilitate the avoidance of anxiety and contribute to the continuation of children's anxiety problems.

The findings also showed that there is a significant relationship between age and attainment of theory of mind (p<0/05). In addition, there was a significant relationship between unexpected transfer and intelligence (p<0/05), while no significant relationship was observed between intelligence and unexpected content (p>0/05). Conclusions: Based on these findings, it can be said that there is a difference in the theory of mind between normal and orphaned children.
