The image of a brand is the first word or image that is evoked in the mind of costumers immediately after hearing the brand name.The purpose of paying attention to the brand image is to ensure the proper mentality of consumers toward the brand.The components such as suitability, services, brand, variety, quality, and atmosphere form the brand image.The relationship between the brand image and other fields such as brand trust has been considered by researches and can play an effective role in improving the behavioral tendencies of costumers.This study is aimed to examine the relationship between foreign brand image and brand trust among buyers of foreign sports brands.The statistical population of this study consisted of 279 male and female athletes in city of Qom who were buying foreign sports brands.The data collection tool was brand image questionnaire and brand trust questionnaire with Cronbach's alpha of 0.87 and 0.88, respectively.The results of Pearson's correlation test showed a significant relationship between image and brand trust (r=0.68).The components of brand image (brand, services, suitability, variety, quality, and atmosphere) with the coefficients of 0.39, 0.53, 0.45, 0.55, 0.51, and 0.54, respectively, had significant correlation with brand trust.The results of simultaneous regression analysis demonstrated that the components of services, variety, quality, and atmosphere could predict the significance of the brand trust among the buyers of foreign sports brands.Based on the results of this study, it seems that the focus on improving the components of services, variety in sale, attention to the quality of products and services, as well as developing a positive atmosphere for customers in providing sale services can have an effective impact on increasing brand trust and improving the behavioral tendencies of costumers.

Background.Females' golf course lengths have been reduced due to their strength characteristics, leading to shorter shot distances than men.Although the golf game requires different physical conditions for females and males, the physiological demands of both genders are unknown.Objectives.This study aimed to investigate the physiological responses of female and male golfers during 18 holes golf games.Methods.Twentynine elite golf players (females:11, males:14) with 1-10 handicaps participated in the study (age: 17.76±2.05years and handicaps: 5.4±2.9).The players' physiological responses were assessed using BioHarness 3 Zephry wireless supported heart rate monitor.Perceived exertion rates of the players were enrolled using Borg Scale.Results.Female golf players had significantly higher heart rate values and energy expenditures than male golf players during 18 holes golf games (P<0.05).Although playing golf produced higher physiologic demands in female players, there was no difference in perceived exertion rates (P>0.05).Conclusion.Although the golf game is facilitated by changing the course length for female golf players, it has been investigated that they encountered greater physiological demands than males.However, the perceived exertion rates of females were similar to those of males during the golf course play.This study provides a comprehensive insight into the physiological demands of female and male golf players during 18 holes golf games.It can be suggested that female players should not compete in the same category as male players, despite the game being simplified by changing the course length.

Background.The importance of physical activity (PA) for maintaining and improving health status increases with each passing day.Objectives.The present study aimed to examine the effects of PA and nutritional education programs applied to 12th-grade students on body mass index (BMI), PA level, and eating habits during the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods.One hundred fifty-nine 12th grade students were randomly assigned to the experimental group (EG) (n=87, 42 male and 45 female) and control group (CG) (n=72, 39 male and 33 female).At first, physical characteristics, PA level, and eating habit questionnaires were completed by students.Then, EG received a single session face-to-face PA and healthy nutrition-themed programs.After an 8-week follow-up, questionnaires were completed by students again.Also, the number of daily steps of EG was recorded during the 8-week follow-up.Differences between pre and post-BMI, PA level, and eating habits of the groups were analyzed using the mixed model ANOVA test.Results.Results showed that educational programs had a positive effect on BMI, PA level, and eating habits of EG (p<.05).There was no improvement in CG (p>0.05).Qualitative findings of EG revealed that the educational program is a beneficial process not only for a short period but also for a lifelong learning structure.Conclusion.In conclusion, PA and healthy nutrition-themed educations are effective methods to improve youths' awareness to be more active and healthier in their daily life, including during the pandemic processes.

身体活动与营养教育项目对12年级学生体重指数和饮食习惯的影响：COVID-19疫情期间的干预研究

Background.Basketball has become one of the most popular sports in the world because it is an intermittent team sport with frequent transitions between activities performed at low, medium, and high intensity.Objectives.The aim of this research was to identify the effects of vibration training on certain physical and skill variables of basketball players at King Faisal University.Methods.The researchers used the experimental method on a sample of 20 basketball players from King Faisal University.All of them were male volunteers.They were randomly divided into two groups, one experimental and the other controlling, consisting of 12 players.In the research variables, the proposed vibration training program was applied for ten weeks at the rate of three weekly training units for 30 -45 minutes in each training unit of the group experimental, excluding the control.The group, who trained traditionally.The followup measurement was performed in the control and experimental groups in the same type of cardiac measurement.Results.The most important results were that the proposed training program positively influenced the physical variables and skill variables, where the percentage of the physical variables ranged between (5% to 42%) and an improvement in the skill variables under study, where the percentage ranged between (21% to 81%).In the percentage of improvement between the experimental and control group in the physical and skill variables under study, where the differences in the percentage of improvement of the physical variables ranged between (3% to 27%) and improvement in the skill variables under research, where the percentage ranged between (9% to 36%) in favor of the experimental group (p<0.001).Conclusion.The researchers concluded from the findings that vibration training should be included in the players' training program components as a basis for developing fitness and basketball skills, as it has positive effects on fitness and performance.

振动训练对篮球运动员某些身体和技术变量的影响

Background.Training in any sport aims to maximize athletes' physical capacity.Objectives.This study aimed to determine the effects of two training programs, functional training, and weight training, on the physical capacity of university baseball players.Methods.The participants included 10 university baseball players, divided into the functional training group (FTG, n=5) and the weight training group (WTG, n=5).The training was performed for 1 hour per session, three sessions per week, for 6 weeks.The dependent variables related to the two groups' physical fitness, aerobic and anaerobic capacity, were measured before training and 6 weeks after training.Results.The FTG showed significant improvements in right-hand grip strength and plank, and the WTG showed significant improvements in right-hand grip strength, left-hand grip strength, and plank.The FTG showed a significant improvement in side-step, and the WTG showed significant improvements in sit-up and side-step.For anaerobic capacity, the FTG showed significant improvements in pitching and batting speeds, and the WTG showed a significant improvement in batting speed.Conclusion.Both training programs led to significant improvements in the physical factors associated with increased athletic performance in baseball players, and the two programs' effects were complementary.Thus, training programs targeting specific areas that require improvement will increase baseball players' performance.
