The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of mental training compared with physical training on on foot joints and accuracy of instep penalty kick in soccer. Method research was a quasi-experimental. 33 male students of Mazandaran University organized in three groups (physical training group, mental training group and control group). After pre-test, mental and physical training groups did their practices and then participated in post-test. Kinematic data were recorded with a camera (JVC, 200HZ), and each penalty score was considered as an indicator of accuracy. Lower extremity joints (hip, knee and ankle) angle in sagittal plane and ball to foot velocity index were calculated with MATLAB2010 software. To find differences, ANOVA and tukey test was done with SPSS18 (α=0.05). Range of motion of hip and ankle joints had positive significant effect with accuracy (r=0.415 and r=0.562 respectively), but there was no significant effect between knee range of motion and accuracy. Regard to this research, we could propose to soccer trainers both practice manners depend on their conditions.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of motor and cognitive dual-task training on dynamic balance of elderly women. For this purpose, 27 old women (aged 60 -82 years) from the old people center of Birjand city were selected randomly and divided into 3 groupd based on their TUG scores. The groups comprised of cognitive dual-task training, motor dual-task training and control. Two experimental groups received their specific interventions for 4 weeks, 3 times a week and 45-min each session. The motor and cognitive dual-task groups performed some motor or cognitive tasks respectively, concurrent with the balance training. For data analysis, mixed ANOVA (3*2) with repeated measures were used. It was found that both motor and cognitive dual-task training methods had significant improvement in dynamic balance of elderly women (p<0.05). But there was no significant difference between these two methods (p>0/05). Therefore, dual-task balance training, either motor or cognitive methods can improve the allocation of the attention into the concurrent tasks and consequently improve balance and decrease the rate of falling in old women.

This study aimed to evaluate the direct and interactive effects of socioeconomic status and birth weight on Tehran children motor proficiency. : The present study was a cross-sectional research which conducted in April and May of 2016 and the study population included 4/5 to 6-year-old boys and girls with very low and normal birth weight from 2 and 19 districts of Tehran city that from which 132 children were selected through a  convenience sampling. In this research we used socioeconomic status questionnaire and Bruininks-Oseretsky -2 test.  obtained data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA. The results showed that motor proficiency in children with very low birth weight was lower than those with normal birth weight (P <0/001), and in terms of effect of socioeconomic status, results showed that motor proficiency of children with low socioeconomic status was lower than those with high socio-economic status (P <0/001) and there wasn’t any significant relationship between effect of weight on motor proficiency with effect of SES on motor proficiency (Interactive effects )(P = 0/633). Results of the study showed that high socio-economic status had the capability of adjustment the negative effects of low birth weight on motor development. But it couldn't has a meaningful reparative effect. Thus the emphasis on the role of socioeconomic status on health of children with very low and normal birth weight is important. Also doing intervention such as improving the quality of environmental stimuli and taking care of pregnant mothers and also awareness for prevention of birth of low weight children must be considered in applied programs.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of concurrent cognitive tasks activating phonological loop and visuospatial scratchpad of working memory on gait in older adults.12 older adults with the age range of 65-70 years performed walking trials in 3 counterbalanced testing conditions including single walking, walking while performing visuospatial task and walking while performing phonological task. Walking trials were recorded by Motion Analysis system during the test session. Repeated measure ANOVA was used to analyze the gait parameters. The findings indicated a significant difference between 3 testing conditions in step time, cadence, acceleration amplitude variability and step width. The results also showed that in dual task condition, visuospatial scratchpad activation interferes with elderly gait more so than the phonological loop activation. Therefore, it seems that visuospatial scratchpad component of working memory might be specifically used for planning and carrying out gait as a motor task.

The purpose of present study was to investigate predictions of challenge point theory (guadagnoli and lee, 2004) through comparing two group of challenging and nonchallenging games in developing manipulative fundamental movement skills. Thirty 4 to 6 years old child were selected from one of the kindergartens of Tehran and were grouped according to pretest scores. The games were used were designed for developing manipulative skills in both groups, however the task difficulty of these games was increased in challenging group while in nonchallenging group it was kept constant. The intervention was 8 weeks, 2 session for each week and 42 minutes for each session. Children's manipulative skills were assessed using Test of Gross Motor Development – second version in the beginning and the end of the intervention. The results of multivariate analysis of variance showed  that improvement groups in total score of manipulative skills and all subscales exept that catching wasn't significant. In total, if the challenge point theories predictions on developing of manipulative skills of healthy children failed to be proved but better improvement of challenging group in catching shows that this method is more effective in developing complex skills.

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of secondary task relevant and non-relevant to the free throw basketball skill on the free throw accuracy of basketball skilled players in choking under pressure. Twenty right-handed female players (aged 18-30) each with at least three years of experience in basketball took part study after completing the Sport Competition Anxiety Test (SCAT), Annett Handedness Questionnaire (AHQ) and measuring their anthropometric characteristics. The study included two testing sessions with an interval of 2 days. In the first and second session (no-pressure and high pressure, respectively) participants warmed up and performed 10 free throws in three conditions: 1) free throw, 2) free throw with relevant secondary task, 3) free throw with non-relevant secondary task. Results showed that the secondary relevant and non-relevant tasks to free throw have effects on accuracy in no-pressure (P=0.012, P=0.001) and high pressure (P=0.001, P=0.018) conditions. Also, there was significant differences between relevant and non-relevant tasks effects on accuracy in high pressure situation (P=0.001).
Overall, it may be used the secondary relevant and non-relevant tasks in choking under pressure situations for reduction of pressure imposed on athletes. Also, properly designed secondary tasks for free throw may be used to increase the accuracy of skilled participants under the pressure situations.

Abstract
This study aimed to Comparison of dyad training method with cooperative and competitive approach in the learning of Basketball Free Throw. The study sample included 24 girl’s students aged 13-15 years old who had no experience in free throw. Based on pretest scores, the participants were assigned to either the cooperative dyad training group or the competitive dyad training group. In the competitive dyad training condition, individuals in each dyad had to compete with each other to secure the highest free throw score. At the end of each training session the winner was rewarded. In contrast, in the cooperative dyad training condition, the dyads that attained the score of 75 or more in each training session were rewarded. After the 10th training session, the acquisition of free throw skill was assessed. A week later, the retention and the transfer of free throw skill were assessed. The results indicated that, with regard to the acquisition of free throw skill, in both conditions the participants had made statistically significant progress. In terms of the acquisition and the retention of the target skill, no statistically significant differences were observed between cooperative and competitive training groups. However, with regard to transfer test, the cooperative training group outperformed the competitive training group. Therefore, in comparison to competitive dyad training, cooperative dyad training is more conducive to the acquisition and the retention of free throw skill.

The movement imagery helps to learn various sports skills if persons have a reasonable imagery about how doing that skill and the command be carved on the brain. The main aim of the current study is to investigate the visual and content validity as well as the reliability of the Persian version of the Movement Imagery Questionnaire for Children MIQ-C. The main questionnaire was translated into the Persian by using the Translation-back Translation method. In order to standardize and validate the questionnaire, 10 elites in the field of the motor imagery and sports psychology, filled the questionnaires in order to determine the content validity ratio (CVR) and the content validity index (CVI). After a primitive study, the necessary modifications were applied.The questionnaire reliability was investigated by the test-retest reliability method and the Cronbach's alpha. Results indicated that the CVR and CVI are 0.62 and 0.79, respectively, which confirms the validity of the questionnaire. The reliability was confirmed by the internal consistency method which value was obtained higher than 0.7. For evaluating the ability of children in motor imaginary, a reliable method should be used.According to obtained results of the current work, the questionnaire benefits from a suitable reliability and validity.

In this correlational study, physical activity of girls’ has been predicted using ecological approach. For this purpose, 374 girls aged 10-12 years selected and completed Self-report questionnaire and physical activity children with reminders 7 days (PAQ-C), Perceived physical competence questionnaire (PPFS), Perceived School Climate Questionnaire for physical activity (Am & et al,2005) and Social Support Questionnaire (Grier and et al, 2008). The BMI index and Lincoln Oseretsky Motor Skills Test was calculated for all subjects. Multiple regression analysis showed Children's fitness, physical competence, perceived climate of the physical environment and social support of  friends and family (social environment) are significant predictors for amount of children's  physical activity (P <0.5). In this regard, based on effect coefficients it would be say that Fitness (10%), physical competence (15%), Motor Skills (12%), physical environment (23%) and social environment (24%) can predict children's physical activity. According to results, it would be suggested using the well- known ecological variables to predict children's activities.

Motor learning or the acquisition of coordination is a process of searching for stable functional coordination patterns, into which a system can settle during a task or activity. Human as complex creatures can choose the best pattern based on conditions within different coordination patterns and also achieve goals of tasks. So the purpose of this study is to determination the effect of a Nonlinear Pedagogy approach for the effectiveness of the movement and acquisition of skills. Accordingly, in this study 14 participants (with the average 19.64 and SD 0.74) are taught the short backhand serve of badminton with using linear and nonlinear pedagogy approaches. Linear approach Based on traditional Viewpoint using the descriptive methods and repetive instructions. On the other hand, nonlinear Pedagogy Approach Based on the ecological dynamics theory using manipulation of task constraints especially task constraints including equipment and rules Planned and conducted. Performance accuracy were selected to analyze further selections and used analysis of covariance to measure the effect of the independent variable measured. The test significance level was considered P <./ 05. Despite the progress of both groups to the pre-test, no difference was observed between the two groups in accuracy scores (F=0.092 and p=0.767) and both were equal to achieve results of the task as an indicator of skill acquisition. Our findings indicate that nonlinear pedagogy approach, resulted from theory of ecological dynamics, consider the complexity of Acquisition the skill and inherent tendency of individuals with providing movement affordances. Also, this approach can be effective in the fulfilment of goal tasks.
