      <link>https://smms.basu.ac.ir/article_6356.html</link>
      <description>Age Discrimination is one of the limiting factors for sports participation of older adults. This study was conducted to identify the role of age discrimination in the development of social-sports participation of older adults. This study was designed with a qualitative method and based on a meta-synthesis approach, using the method of Sandolovski and Barso (2006). 90 studies in the field of aging and social-sports participation were extracted based on specific criteria, and 20 studies were selected as samples. Seven categories were identified which include cultural beliefs weakening participation, stereotypes reducing active lifestyles, ineffective participatory policies promoting age discrimination, self-discrimination interrupting sports participation, ageism and increasing social distancing, technology reducing the social power of the older adults and active aging as a tool for combating age discrimination. By examining the results, it is argued that sports participation of older adults prevents economic losses by reducing self-discrimination, increasing social interactions and social acceptance of them. Moreover, the country doesn’t its efficiency and productivity with its aging trend, because with the social acceptance of the elderly, the social activity of this group is defined and stabilized, and the design of programs required for active aging is facilitated. It is suggested to activate discourses on aging and increase the representation of older adults in popular media to promote active aging.</description>

      <link>https://smms.basu.ac.ir/article_6490.html</link>
      <description>“Selecting an appropriate location for sports sciences faculties, as a strategic university function, plays a key role in enhancing education quality, equitable academic opportunities, and regional balance.”. This study aimed to identify and prioritize indicators influencing the site selection of sport sciences faculties in Iran. The research employed an exploratory mixed-methods design combining qualitative and quantitative approaches. The study population consisted of sport man-agement professors, deans of physical education and sport sciences faculties, university engi-neers, and academics in architecture, civil engineering, geography, and urban planning. Partici-pants were selected purposively and later through a snowball sampling method. Theoretical satu-ration was reached after conducting 12 semi-structured in-depth interviews. Content analysis of the interviews led to the identification of six main categories of site selection indicators: man-agement and development, geographical, physical and regulatory, environmental, socio-cultural, and economic. These indicators were subsequently evaluated through a pairwise comparison questionnaire distributed among 20 experts familiar with the research topic. The Analytic Hierar-chy Process (AHP) using Expert Choice software was employed to determine the relative im-portance of each indicator. The results showed that the management and development indicator had the highest relative weight (0.308), followed by geographical (0.231), physical and regulato-ry (0.201), environmental (0.147), socio-cultural (0.072), and economic (0.040) factors. It was concluded that management and development considerations play the most significant role in locating sport sciences faculties in Iran. The identified indicators can serve as a practical frame-work for selecting appropriate sites for such faculties, considering the country’s unique cultural, geographical, and environmental conditions.</description>

      <title>Designing a Sports Tourism Model for Central Iranian Heritage: A Systematic Review with Integrated Management</title>
      <link>https://smms.basu.ac.ir/article_6681.html</link>
      <description>The purpose of this study is to develop a comprehensive conceptual model of sports tourism in Iran with an emphasis on a cultural heritage preservation approach, through the identification and systematic synthesis of drivers, challenges, and strategies reported in the research literature. The methodology of this study was conducted using a systematic review approach based on the PRISMA2020 standard protocol. The literature search was carried out in reputable national and international databases covering the period from 2000 to 2024. Out of a total of 583 initial records,42 eligible studies were selected after rigorous screening and quality assessment, and subsequently analyzed using thematic analysis. The results suggest that the competitive advantage of sports tourism in Iran extends beyond infrastructure and sporting events, and is manifested in the meaningful linkage between sporting activities and elements of cultural heritage, including rituals, history, and local identity. Furthermore, governance and integrated management emerge as fundamental pillars of development, playing a crucial role in creating synergy among the multiple stakeholders involved in sports tourism and cultural heritage. The findings also emphasize the importance of active participation of local communities at all stages of planning and implementation, as the absence of such participation may lead to the erosion of cultural authenticity, the distortion of traditional rituals, and the emergence of unsustainable patterns of commercialization. Finally, the findings highlight the necessity of moving beyond purely economic approaches toward a preservation-oriented and sustainability-based perspective. Within such an approach,</description>

      <title>Presenting a model and prioritizing indicators for retaining elite athletes</title>
      <link>https://smms.basu.ac.ir/article_6686.html</link>
      <description>Introduction and Objective: The migration of elites and sports professionals as a social phenomenon has detrimental effects on the growth and development processes of sports. One of the most important factors that plays a role in the success of professional sports is elite, useful and efficient human resources. In addition to facilitating professional advancement, retaining sports elites reduces conflicts and the persistence of professional sports personnel and increases productivity. For this reason, this study presents a model for retaining elites in Iranian state sports organizations based on the specific challenges and contexts of Iranian society.
Methodology: The type of research is quantitative and applied research. The statistical population of this study was elite athletes of the province with a history of membership in national teams in 1402, which was 270 people. The research sample was 159 people based on the Morgan table, and based on this, 170 questionnaires were distributed and finally, after 10 items were dropped, 160 healthy questionnaires were analyzed.Data analysis showed that economic factors such as &amp;amp;quot;access to better job opportunities&amp;amp;quot; and &amp;amp;quot;differences in the welfare status of the country of origin and destination&amp;amp;quot; are the most important reasons for the inability to retain sports elites and the migration of athletes. Professional factors (such as access to facilities and coaches; and lack of planning by federations), political factors (such as the inefficiency of the country&amp;amp;#039;s macro) and social factors (such as the social status of athletes; and the desire for modern life) are in the next ranks.</description>

      <title>Analyzing the effects of Migration Aspiration on Iran&amp;#039;s sports workforce</title>
      <link>https://smms.basu.ac.ir/article_6711.html</link>
      <description>The present study aims to elucidate the effects of migration fever on Iran&amp;amp;#039;s sports labor force. This research was conducted using a mixed-methods approach, employing the systematic grounded theory design (Glaserian approach) in the qualitative phase, and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) in the quantitative phase to rank the identified factors. In the qualitative phase, 27 participants—including sports management professors, sports coaches, athletes, sports science students, and graduates—who expressed a desire to migrate were purposefully selected. Data saturation was achieved through snowball sampling. Qualitative data were collected via semi-structured interviews and analyzed using three stages of coding: open, selective, and theoretical coding. To ensure the trustworthiness of the qualitative findings, the researchers employed prolonged engagement, persistent observation, peer debriefing, progressive reflexivity, member checking, and triangulation of multiple data sources. Reliability was further assessed through inter-coder agreement and intra-coder reliability checks at specified time intervals. In the quantitative phase, 10 sports management experts participated in the expert panel, and the data were analyzed using Expert Choice software. The findings revealed that the prominent effects of migration fever on Iran&amp;amp;#039;s sports workforce include: prevalence of underemployment, demand for informal employment, job quality deterioration, occupational mismatch, decline in job-finding opportunities, negative job attitudes, mental migration, workforce burnout, investment stagnation, and virtual migration. Results from the experts&amp;amp;#039; prioritization using AHP indicated that prevalence of underemployment, job quality, and occupational mismatch respectively held the highest ranks.</description>
