Statistical population of this study was composed of all sport management professors in universities, chairman of the federations and also elected leaders and experts of the ministry of youth and sports (N=450). Due to the large population study class random sampling method was used (n=209). Measurement instrument was a questionnaire 48- item which contains included 4 general factors. In order to make sure about validity of this questionnaire, an expert’s panel composed of management professors was applied. For testing its reliability, 30 questionnaires were completed and 0/91 Cronbach’s alpha was calculated which was an appropriate reliability coefficient for this study. Data analysis of this study was done by the method of descriptive and inferential statistics and using Test (KMO) and Bartletts to determine the adequacy of sampling and factor analysis and in LISREL and SPSS software environments. All questions had a significant relationship with their agents in reliability structure, the amount of relationship and T-value, and they could be a good predictor for their agents. X2/df=1/606, RMSEA=0/069 indexes and NFI=0/90, NNFI=0/93, CFI=0/95,GFI=0/91 and AGFI=0/89 confirmed the goodness of model. Also, the results about the relations of factors with the meaning of competency showed that all factors could be a good predictor for concept of competency.

The purpose of present research was to investigate Barriers to promote traditional games from the perspective of the students. The research method was descriptive - correlational. The research Statistical population was students of physical education. Finally, 151 people (boy and girl students) from five universities were randomly selected as the statistical sample. Researcher made questionnaire was used to collect data which its content and face validity was checked and confirmed by 12 of experts. Cronbach's Alpha coefficient was used to test the reliability of the questionnaire (α=0.86). The respondents were asked to indicate their level of agreement on a Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagreed) to 5 (strongly agreed). Factor analysis with varimax rotation was used to analyze the data. According to factor analysis, 31 variables were selected and classified into six categories “managerial, psychological, organizational, environmental, cultural and interpersonal”. The results showed that the most important barriers were "expansion of computer games (4.39± 0.94)". The least important barriers was "physical problems and medical prohibits (2.42 ± 1.19)". The findings demonstrated that ranking the factors that hinder the development of traditional games, was respectively equal to managerial, organizational, cultural, interpersonal, environmental, and psychological factors. Also analysis and comparison of the perspectives of students who were aware of traditional games and students who were not aware, indicated that the management, psychological, organizational and environmental factors showed no significant difference between students (p>0/05), But there are significant differences between cultural factors and the Interpersonal factors (p
