Abstract
The performance of sports clubs is considered due to the role of sports in community health; in this regard, the present study investigates the effect of coopetition on the performance of private sports clubs in the northern provinces of country regarding the mediating role of open innovation and the use of outside knowledge. This study is an applied and correlation type. The statistical population consisted of managers and members of the board directors of selected private football clubs in Guilan, Mazandaran, and Golestan that 245 of them were considered as a sample by non-randomized judgment sampling method. To collect the data, the standard questionnaires of coopetition of Bouncken & Fredrich (2012), the harmonized survey of open innovation (2012), the use of outside knowledge, and the performance of Wemmer et al. (2016) were used. Cronbach's alpha of the mentioned questionnaires is 0.816, 0.701, 0.797, and 0.803, respectively. Data analysis was performed using the structural equation modeling method of Smart PLS software. The results showed that the coopetition does not directly affect the clubs’ performance but affects it through mediating variables using outside knowledge and open innovation. It was also found that open innovation explains the highest percentage of changes in clubs’ performance. Therefore, cooperation and competition climate with using outside knowledge and open innovation can be such that the clubs’ performance is improved.

Abstract
Understanding how physical-activity of Iranian-girls aged 7-12 years in the current situation and designing a model for it is a requirement of strategic-thinking and it can help relevant managers make important decisions. Therefore the purpose of this study was to design a conceptual model of physical-activity for Iranian-girls aged 7-12 years. The research method was Grounded theory, systematic approach. The sampling method was theoretical sampling and in order to achieve theoretical saturation, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 6 fathers, 17 mothers and 17 girls while studying literature. Findings show that there are 14 main categories related to the physical-activity of Iranian-girls aged 7-12 years. The main actor in the designed model is the mothers who consider the conditions and plays the role of the main guider of the girl in consultation with her husband and daughter and the trainer. The findings also showed sovereignty institutions, the Ministry of Education, and schools; unexpectedly; do not have a favorable effect on the physical-activity of Iranian-girls aged 7-12 years. Thus; meaningful activation and constructive interaction between mothers, related organizations and institutions; especially schools; and the optimal use of the existing sports facilities in the country can significantly increase physical-activity among girls aged 7-12.

Abstract
A few studies have examined the interactive self-control effect on the type of self-modeling feedback. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of providing different strategies of self-control feedback through self-modeling on learning of Lay-up shot basketball skill. For this purpose, 60 right-handed 11-13 years old male beginner students were selected through available sampling. Then they were divided into 4 groups randomly. One of the groups between the blocks and the other group before training session defined to get the type of self-modeling feedback (best performance or overall performance in Lay-up shot basketball skill). For each of these groups, the yoked group was selected. The training program was conducted for 6 sessions for two weeks. Pretest, retention and transfer test were made in 12 attempts. Results showed significant effect between pretest with retention and transfer tests scores. Also, there was significant difference between the self-control feedback before sessions and the self-control feedback between the blocks groups and their yoked group in the retention and transfer tests (P≤001), While between the yoked groups did not had any significant difference. These results indicate the greater effect of self-control feedback during sessions, which emphasizes the greater autonomy of learners as one of the psychological needs for learning optimization.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to provide a model for promoting the brand position in the country's sports club industry. The research method was qualitative with a systematic exploratory approach (content analysis). Participants consisted of two sections of human resources (club managers and coaches, sports marketing experts) and information resources (relevant and credible scientific, library and media) Participants in sufficient numbers, purposefully and based on saturation Theoretical was done (27 people and 39 documents). The research tools included semi-structured exploratory interviews along with a systematic library study. The validity of the instrument was evaluated and confirmed based on the scientific competence of the sample, the content validity of the experts and the agreement between the coding correctors. To analyze the findings, a multi-stage conceptual coding method (open, selective and thematic) with a system analysis approach was used. The final conceptual framework consisted of 121 components, 26 dimensions, 9 perspectives and 3 levels identified. Levels and perspectives, respectively, affect-effectiveness between their sub-variables, including the underlying level (structural, managerial and capacity perspectives of the club), the strategic level (marketing perspectives, brand strength, branding and innovation) and the functional level (functional perspectives and Brand values). Based on the research findings, it can be said that brand promotion in club management is a systematic process in which the marketing system should achieve the targeted values based on knowing the contexts and adopting appropriate strategies. It is suggested to the clubs that in order to promote the brand, they should not be satisfied with only a few occasional measures with short-term effect, but also define their branding project based on a scientific framework such as the model presented in this research.

Abstract
How the process of acquiring and learning new motor skills can be enhanced is one of the basic questions in theoretical and applied movement science, rehabilitation and sport. The Differential Learning (DL) approach is mainly characterized by taking advantage, for the purpose of learning, of fluctuations that occur, without movement repetitions and without corrections during the skill acquisition process. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of Differential Learning (DL) and Contextual Interference (CI) on the Retention and Transfer of Badminton backhand short serve. Prior to the implementation of the protocol, all participants of the pre-test were taken. Then, each group of research performed for 8 sessions according to the type of training. One day after the completion of the practice protocol, of all participants were taken the tests of Retention and Transfer. The analysis t-test indicated that there was a significant difference between the groups DL and CI in tests Retention and Transfer (p= 0.00). In fact, the results of the research show the effectiveness of the DL approach on the Retention and Transfer of Badminton backhand short serve. Based on the results of the research, the conclusion is that the DL approach is useful for learning skills, and can discover adaptive solutions by creating oscillations in the individual and helped to improve and learning skills.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of high and low reinvestment in the acquisition, retention and automaticity of dart throwing skill based on the interference-error model. One hundred participants were selected and divided into two categories of high and low movement reinvestment. Subjects of each category were randomly divided into five groups: block-errorless, block-errorfull, random-errorless, random-errorfull and random. Based on the results, the best and worst performance was observed for the random-errorless and random-errorfull groups respectively. There was a significant difference between categories of high and low reinvestment in retention and automaticity tests in favor of low reinvestment. In both the acquisition and retention test, the block groups performed better in the high reinvestment category and the random groups performed better in the low reinvestment category. At the automaticity phase, all groups executed better in the low reinvestment category. The results show that the level of reinvestment can play an important role in learning and automaticity of motor skills. People with lower level of reinvestment perform better in practice conditions with more cognitive effort (random practice) and people with a higher level of reinvestment perform better in practice conditions with less cognitive effort (block practice).

Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine sport hero/ine’s features and barriers to achieve their status based on students’ viewpoints. 300 students participated and wrote about obstacles of achieving the status of their hero/in through answering open questions. Data were analyzed using descriptive-analytical method and using Van Dijk's theoretical model (2004) in the framework of critical discourse analysis considering macro and micro levels. In describing the sports hero/ine, the women pointed to physical, facial, and behavioral-moral traits, respectively. Also men pay more attention to behavioral-moral, faces and personalities than other traits. The frequency of describing physical, facial, and behavioral-moral traits was significantly higher than other traits. Barriers were divided into 6 classes. Based on the Proportion test, Economic, socio-cultural and personal barriers make the hero's position significantly more difficult than other barriers. Analysis according to macro level of Van Dijk square represented that emphasizing negative properties of Them has the highest frequency among other properties. Participants have used micro strategies of fallacies, victimization, generalization and lexicalization to express barriers. The variables governing the minds of participants and how they are applied in the language suggest that they create inappropriate conditions for making a pattern to be hero/ine.
