Abstract

The purpose of this research was to investigate the environmentally friendly behavior of active sports tourists visiting Bushehr beach sports tourism destinations for beach and water sports. The research sample consisted of 102 active sports tourists who were selected by available method and completed the research questionnaire. The research tools included questionnaires of Eco-friendly compliance, Eco-friendly policy, Eco-friendly disposition and word-of-mouth advertisement by Kontojiani and Kotoris (2014). Frequency and percentage indices were used for descriptive statistics and structural equation modeling was done using PLS3 software in the inferential statistics section. The results showed that the Eco-friendly compliance of sports recreation centers providing coastal sports tourism services has a significant effect on the word-of-mouth promotion of active sports tourists, and also the Eco-friendly policy among sports tourists has a significant effect on the Eco-friendly disposition. Eco-friendly disposition did not have a causal relationship with the word-of-mouth advertising of sports tourists. The compliance of sports tourism service providers with environmental protection indicators did not have a significant effect on the Eco-friendly disposition, and this indicates that those sports tourists who have an Eco-friendly policy, in any situation, they show their Eco-friendly disposition. Considering the influence of the Eco-friendly policy on the Eco-friendly disposition of sports tourists, it is suggested that courses and educational programs in different platforms for members of the society, especially sports tourists, in order to familiarize themselves with environmental issues and improve the way and their environmental attitude should be done.

Abstract

Our understanding of the effectiveness of small-sided games compared to other training methods is limited. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the role of small side games (SSG) and traditional teaching method on individual and team creativity of 11-12 year old soccer players. To conduct this study, among all the 11-12-year-old children of Iraq who were enrolled in football classes, 30 learners were selected by the available method and were randomly divided into two groups of traditional and SSG education. At first, the pre-test was taken by the video analysis method, and then the participants practiced football skills on the 7x7 field for 16 weeks and 4 one-hour sessions every week. Finally, the post-test was evaluated according to the pre-test. The analysis of the film was done based on the opinion of two experts and according to the previously identified practices. The results were analyzed by descriptive method and 2x2 ANOVA analysis in SPSS 24. The results of the study in the descriptive part showed that appropriate actions, creative and original actions have grown more in the SSG group compared to the traditional group. In this regard, inappropriate actions have shown a further decrease. In the section of inferential tests, the results showed that the effect of the test and test*group is significant for appropriate actions and the effect of the test for total actions showed the same result. In this regard, small side games can be played by placing the player in a small environment, allowing the player to have more opportunities to perform and less time to make decisions, which leads to the improvement of creativity in team sports such as football.

Abstract

The present study aims to investigate the variables of social networks in different positions in basketball. These variables were applied in two levels of analysis: micro (individual) and macro (global interaction of the team). 24 official Chemidoor Club competitions in the 2020 men's Iranian Premier League were selected by available sampling. This research analyzed the network properties of Degree, Betweenness, Closeness, Eigenvector, and Density centrality across teams and positions. The one-way ANOVA for the factor position in the micro-level found statistical differences between the game positions in the dependent variables of  Dc: (F(4,15)= 61/29, p= 0/000), Bc: (F(4,15)= 210/11, p= 0/000), Cc: (F(4,15)= 78/55, p= 0/000). However, no significant difference was observed in the Eig: (F (4, 15) = 1/58, p= 0/184). Results of post hoc test indices were significantly different between position 1 (point guard) and other positions.  Macro-level team density analysis showed a significant difference between performance results in successful and unsuccessful. The guard player role was observed as the situation that establishes the most interactions with teammates during the competition. Therefore, players with higher degrees were not the ones assisting the most shots. The other players with higher degrees were not the ones assisting the most shots. These results may be used as a tool for coaching to improve their teams’ strategies in concrete, measurable ways.
