Although sports tourism in our country has attracted a lot of attention as an evolving industry, researches in the field of destination management and marketing are still limited. The purpose of this study was to investigate the enhancing of sports tourism competitiveness of Iran through the tourism experience quality. The research method was descriptive-correlational. For this purpose, 245 sports tourists which travelled to Iran as a sports tourism destination, completed two questionnaires about the perceived destination competitiveness (Hallman et al., 2014), and the tourism experience quality (Meng, 2006). Questionnaires validity were evaluated and approved by experts (content validity), and structural equation modelling (construct validity). Smart-PLS software was used for data analysis. The findings indicated that the quality of different phases of tourism experience including pre-travel planning, en-route, on-site and post-travel reflection, can enhance the perception of sport tourists from Iran's competitiveness as a sports tourism destination. Hence, it can be concluded that tourism experience is not solely limited to the boundaries of a tourism destination and involves from the moment of decision to travel until returning from it; and providing high-quality tourism experiences in all phases, will enhance the tourists' perceptions from Iran's sports tourism competitiveness, and achieve a competitive edge among the alternative sports tourism destinations.

A researcher-made questionnaire comprising 56 questions was used to collect the research data. its validity was confirmed by 8 experts in this field and its reliability was measured using cronbach's alpha and composite reliability, with Cronbach " s alpha coefficients for all factors higher than 0/7 and composite reliability coefficients were obtained for all factors more than 0/8. for analyzing the data and determining the effect of the variables, structural equation modeling with partial least squares approach was used by Smart PLS 3 software.The results indicated that among the nine factors considered, sponsoring companies only demonstrate five factors in discharging their support. These factors based on importance include technical factors (players and technical staff), the inadequacy of supportive incentives, economic factors, legal factors, and cultural-religious factors. Advertising factors, political factors, the inadequacy of infrastructure and management factors have also been studied, which shown not to be an effective factor, We conclude that the majority of firms that discharged their sponsorship have been dissatisfied , or at least the sponsorship of the club could not satisfy their expectations.

Identifying the behavioral traits of Sport bettor is an effective strategy to predict the tendency to future betting. The purpose of this paper is designing structural model of elemental, behavioral and motivational traits in horse racing betting by mix method. For this purpose, an exploratory mix method in qualitative phase (30 people) by means of cognitive sampling and a quantitative phase (250 people) was employed by a snow fall sampling. To data collection, researcher-made questionnaire with three subscales of elemental, behavioral and motivational factors was used as five-point likert scales. Results of factor analysis showed that in elemental cub scale, Conscientiousness (β=0.65) and agreeableness (β=0.57), in behavioral sub-scales, numeric interest (β=0.79) and Impulsiveness (β=0.68) and in motivational sub-scales, money (β=0.84) and escape (β=0.62) were main components to explain the path mode. In addition, marring and experienced bettors were more likely to betting. Therefore, preparation of appropriate profiles of the behavioral traits of bettors, in addition to the role of deterring the destructive cultural and social consequences, is an effective strategy in sports marketing sector based on identifying the need assessment of personality traits

The present study was conducted in 1397 and beginning of 1398 with the aim of investigating the effect of neural marketing on the purchasing behavior of sporty shoppers, considering the mediating role of brand enthusiasm and presenting the model. The statistical population of this research is all shoppers of sporting goods stores in Khorasan Razavi province, whose number is very high and uncertain. In this way, two-stage cluster sampling method was used to select 20 large stores in the city of Mashhad, Imam Khomeini and the main distribution center in Mashhad, and 10 stores in 10 provinces of the city. 384 questionnaires were distributed among the buyers. In this research, the researcher used three Iser et al. Marketing strategies (2011), a sudden consumer buying behavior (2016) and a passion for the brand Zyachevsky (1985). Nerve marketing has an indirect impact on the behavior of the buyers of sports brands through brand enthusiasm. The connection between the creation of a superior identity of sporting products in the minds of customers indicates that the brand name of a strong and credible brand of products can lead customers to use because the customer has this mental sense that the personality of the brand reflective and associate personality He is his own

The statistical population of this study consisted of all students aged 11-19 years in the whole country that 384 students were selected as statistical sample by cluster random sampling method. Three media consumption and Perceived Physical Literacy Questionnaires (PPLI) of Raymond Sun et al. (2018) and physical activity based on health pattern were used to collect the research data. The formal and content validity of the questionnaires were confirmed and their reliability was obtained using Cronbach's alpha method 0.934, 0.970 and 0.834. For data analyzing by SPSS software and Amos software of Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling were used. The results showed that media consumption had a positive and significant effect (P=0.001) on knowledge and understanding, communication with others and students' self-confidence. The results showed that media consumption had a positive and significant effect on Physical Activity Staging وExercise and Exercise self efficacy and Exercise Barriers.

The aim of this research is designing a paradigmatic Pattern for enhancement of hosting international sports events and the emphasis lies on the Kish Free Zone. As a qualitative study, this research is conducted using an approach based on the grounded theory. The statistical population is comprised of sport management specialists and experts in the area of holding sports events in free zone, who are selected as contributors using a Snowball sampling approach. In order to gather data semi-structured interviews are used and after 11th interview, theoretical saturation has been accomplished. In order to determine data reliability and validity, two methods of recoding and reviewing by expert contributors are implemented. The pivotal topic is the diplomacy of the enhancement of hosting international sports events in Free trade zone. The results revealed that using strategies like taking advantage of elite athletes as diplomacy ambassadors, applying physical and managerial measures in stadiums for the presence of women and establishing an active diplomacy working group in the Ministry of Sport, would lead to the successful hosting of international sports events. Finally, after strategy formulation, the final pattern is presented considering causality, contextual and intervening conditions.
