Purpose: Something that happens in the future of a scientific field depends on today's view of young people about the future. The perception of young people from the future and their conception of the future is very important. The purpose of this study was to imaging the future of Sports science from the perspective of educated youth. Method: The method of the present research is qualitative and exploratory research and in terms of purpose is applied research. The statistical population of the study included educated youth who are familiar with Sports science and the snowball sampling method was used for interviews and theoretical saturation were obtained with 23 interviews. To analyze the data, the content analysis method has been used to obtain the information of this research. Findings: The results show the future of Sports science among educated youth consists of seven main concepts that include: hope for a green education system, excessive interest in working in the Sports industry, basic reengineering, relative disappointment from the ability of authorities, social position through academic education, desire for empowerment and lack of skills, injustice, and utilitarianism. Conclusion: Finally, by observing the mental images of the youth, it can be stated that Sports science will move towards the dystopia if the current situation continues, and it can move towards the utopia with fundamental changes. In this direction, the stakeholders of Sports sciences need to be together and disagreements need to be managed as well as arbitrariness of Sports science professionals should be reduced.

Introduction: Somatotype is one of the effective factors in predicting the success of athletes in various Sports. Somatotype can be a determining factor in individual differences. In traditional Iranian medicine, the relationship between people’s temperaments (Mizaj) on the one hand and their physical structure and physiological and psychological Performance on the other has been discussed. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between somatotype and Mizaj in male non-athlete university students in Mashhad. Materials and Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study was conducted on male students at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad in the winter of 2016. The sample consisted of 200 individuals who were divided into four groups of 50 people based on their Mizaj: warm and wet, warm and dry, cold and wet, and cold and dry. The relationship between the Mizaj index and somatotype was investigated using the Eta correlation coefficient method. Data analysis and hypothesis testing were tested in SPSS software version 21 with a significance level of p ≥ 0. 05. Results: Statistical results showed that the Eta correlation coefficient between the endomorphic type and Mizaj was 0. 89. The results of one-way analysis of variance showed that cold and wet Mizaj had a significantly higher endomorphic score than other types of Mizaj (4. 91±0. 58) (P=0. 001). Moreover, the correlation coefficient of Eta between mesomorphic type and Mizaj was 0. 924. It was also found that the warm and wet Mizaj had the significantly highest mesomorphic score (5. 12±0. 49). The correlation coefficient of Eta between ectomorphic type and Mizaj was 0. 946 (P=0. 001), and cold and dry Mizaj had the significantly highest ectomorphic score compared to other types of Mizaj (4. 83±0. 45). Conclusion: The results of this study showed that there was a significant relationship between Mizaj and the body type of young men. Therefore, since the structure of a person’s body type can be a predictor of success in any of the various Sports, Mizaj can be used to determine a person’s athletic talent.

The purpose of this study was to introducing Performance appraisal questionnaire for Sports federations. The research method was a mixed method that combines qualitative and quantitative methods. Population of study was experts assessing the Performance of Sports federations at the Ministry of Sport (10 people), heads, evaluators and Secretaries of the Sports federation in Iran (100 people) and University elite who have done research in the field of management and Performance evaluation in sport (50 people). The number of samples continued to reach the theoretical saturation for the interview (25people). In the quantitative phase, 130 questionnaires were collected. In order to analyze the data, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling using SmartPLS3 software were used. 124 questions were categorized into 32 sub-criteria and 9 criteria that included: Leadership (18 questions), Strategy (13 questions), Human resources (17 questions), Partnership and Resources (17 questions), Processes, Products and Services (18 questions), Customer Results (12 questions), Human resources Results (11 questions), Society Results (7 questions) and Key Results (11 questions). The results of this study showed that the Performance appraisal (evaluation) questionnaire of Sports federations is an appropriate theoretical framework and tool for evaluating organizational Performance in Sports federations. It is suggested that managers and researchers in sport management use this questionnaire to evaluate the Performance of Sports federations.
