The primary objective of this research was to investigate the consequences of national championship sports. Given the specialized nature of the topic, a qualitative approach was adopted, utilizing in-depth interviews with relevant experts. Participants were selected from key stakeholder groups, including sports management professors, federation presidents, provincial sports and youth directors, and senior experts from the Ministry of Sports and Youth. Using purposeful and snowball sampling, 19 individuals were interviewed. The collected data were analyzed through grounded theory, employing three coding stages: open, axial, and selective coding. In the analysis: Causal conditions yielded six components (35 items) derived from sign coding. Contextual conditions comprised 99 general concepts, consolidated into eight final categories. Intervention conditions included six main components (53 items). Furthermore, seven strategic domains were identified to address the internal and external challenges of championship sports in Iran: managerial, legal, human resources, facilities, economic, structural, and cultural-media. Finally, the outcomes of these strategies were categorized into four developmental areas—economic, national, behavioral, and structural—demonstrating significant alignment with the proposed strategies

Also, theoretical sampling was used, which according to Holloway and Amy, 4 to 40 people are sufficient for qualitative studies.Results: Findings of discourse analysis show various factors affecting the development of women's championship sports. These factors are classified into two main categories; deterrents and reinforcing factors. Deterrents include: lack of material and moral support of government officials, gender discrimination, lack of club facilities, infrastructure restrictions, patriarchal culture, lack of rewards; and reinforcing factors include: self-confidence, family support, perseverance, high motivation, coach support, teamwork, professional ethics, attention to religious values and women's sports culture.Conclusion: In this article, Deterrents and Reinforcing factors of women's championship sports identified base on discourse analysis and classified, solutions for the comprehensive development and improvement of women's championship sports for successful participation in the Olympic and Paralympic competitions have been presented.Conclusion: In this article, Deterrents and Reinforcing factors of women's championship sports identified base on discourse analysis and classified, Solutions for the comprehensive development and improvement of women's championship sports for successful participation in the Olympic and Paralympic competitions have been presented.

Purpose: The main purpose of this research was to study the challenges, opportunities and solutions of the championship sports for Iranian women. Method: The research method was mixed, and different methods were applied to serve the purpose of this research. The research sample was selected from the main population (N=172) following Morgan’ s sample size determination (118). Open and closed questionnaires were used to measure the effect of each of the challenges and opportunities with a Likert's five-item scale. Results: The findings showed that 9 opportunities and 19 challenges exist regarding Iranian women’ s championship sports. Conclusions: Though investigations of women’ s sports in internal and external fields show progress in Iranian women’ s sports, they do not show any desirable growth compared to male sports, which is due to social restrictions and other factors.

The purpose of this study was to provide a model for supporting elite female athletes in championship sports. To achieve the research aim, 200 people answered the questionnaires using purposive sampling method. The researcher-developed questionnaire was prepared through studying the theoretical background, semi-guided interviews with sports management professors and elite female athletes through an exploratory process, and exploratory factor analysis was used to categorize the 46 items into nine factors. The extracted constructs were found to be both valid and reliable based on confirmatory factor analysis by LISREL software and Cronbach's alpha. Results of the study indicated that the present questionnaire was a suitable tool to assess the support for elite female athletes. Besides, the final research model indicated that financial support was the first priority from the respondents’ perspective while government support was the last priority according to them. Moreover, all the fitness indices of the model for supporting elite female athletes and its aspects had good fitness which confirmed the model. Based on the results of the present study, it is suggested that the research model and the priority of its factors be considered for policy-making in the field of women's championship sports.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to Providing a Conceptual Analysis Framework for Sustainability of championship Sports.Methodology: This research was carried out using qualitative method with semi-structured interviews with 16 people including professors and experts who were selected by purposeful sampling. The data collection method was a study of previous research and open interviews. To examine the face and content validity, the research findings were presented to the participants, and the study's text was studied and their point of view was applied. In order to assess credibility, transferability and verifiability, the research findings were presented to the participants, and the text of the theory was studied by them and their point of view was applied. The method used for reliability was an intra-subject agreement method. The average agreement within the subject was 0.88. Based on the findings, the number of open-source codes is 64, which is categorized in the form of 21 concepts.Results: Total concepts included nine major indicators with social and cultural factors, talent management, organizational factors, infrastructure, control and supervision, knowledge and information, research and development, support and support systems, and productivity.Conclusion: In the end, it should be pointed out that in order to achieve the development of the championship sports based on the alignment of the land, we should pay attention to various indicators and plan the development of sports championship based on the alignment of the land.

In this paper a league championship algorithm (LCA) is developed for structural optimization where the optimization variables are of discrete type and the set of the values possibly obtained by each variable is also given. LCA is a relatively new metaheuristic algorithm inspired from sport championship process. In LCA, each individual can choose to approach to or retreat from other individuals in the population. This makes it able to provide a good balance between exploration and exploitation tasks in course of the search. To check the suitability and effectiveness of LCA for structural optimization, five benchmark problems are adopted and the performance of LCA is investigated and deeply compared with other approaches. Numerical results indicate that the proposed LCA method is very promising for solving structural optimization problems with discrete variables.

The study is to develop a strategic model for the development of Iranian championship sports bases. The statistical population of the research consisted of managers and experts of 31 championship Sport Bases in the country, physical education professors and sport experts about 154 persons. 20 elite sport experts were chosen to qualitative samples purposefully and 134 persons to quantitative sample by counting method. The data collecting method was combined. The Delphi technique was used to identify the SWOT championship Sport Bases at first. Then self-made questionnaires likert 5-point range was designed. Its face validity was confirmed by 5 professors of sports management. The validity of the content was evaluated by the method of relative content validity coefficient (CVR) and its construct validity was studied using confirmatory factor analysis. The reliability of the questionnaires was obtained through Cronbach's alpha test of 0/88. While using descriptive statistics, in inferential statistics section, SWOT analysis was used to determine the status of centers and one-sample T-test was used to analyze the data. The Friedman test method was used to rank the factors of the strategic plan and the Analytical Hierarchy Process was used to prioritize the strategies (with AHP MASTER and SPSS softwares). Findings showed that according to the identification of environmental factors and strategic analysis of SWOT, the country's championship sports bases are located in the ST strategy position and it would be used a diversity and competitive strategy in its development. Therefore, formulating and implementing a strategic plan, implementing a comprehensive talent identification system, empowering the private sector and equipping and standardizing the bases are the most important strategies proposed in this study.

The aim of this study was to investigate those parameters affecting the public environmental of championship. Research method was descriptive-survey and theoretical fundamental in terms of aims. The dependent variable was championship with the index of countries’ places in the London (2012) and Rio (2016) Olympics and independent variables included the population of those countries, their area of land, the rate of their gross domestic product (GDP), the level of their welfare and their scientific development index. The data were collected using a library and data collection forms which were extracted from valid information centers. The statistical population consisted of information about those countries which had a place in Olympics 2012 and 2016. To analyze the data, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Pearson correlation test and linear regression test were used. The results confirmed the effect of 3 factors (population, the area of land and gross domestic product (GDP)) on the development of championship and did not confirm the effect of 2 factors (level of welfare and scientific development). Also, the results showed that the effect of these factors was different in different continents. Finally, it can be said that these 5 factors alone cannot predict the development of championship and can be effective when they interact with each other and other direct factors.
