Abstract
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.

Physical activity is related to health factors such as motor competence, health related Physical fitness, perceived motor competence. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of mediation of cardiovascular fitness, perceived motor competence in relation between actual motor competence and physical activity of boys in middle and end childhood. Research is a correlation type. 204 students (mean age 9.9 and standard deviation of 1/05) from the four Tehran schools participated in this study. The motor competence was measured using the Bruninks-Oseretsky-based product-oriented (BOT-2), perceived motor competence, and physical activity, using the PSDQ and the physical activity questionnaire for older children (PAQC), respectively. The 600 yard running / walking test was used to measure cardiovascular endurance. Pearson's test results showed a moderate to weak relationship between all variables. Also, the results of regression path analysis indicated that perceived motor competence, not cardiovascular fitness, mediates the relationship between real motor competence and physical activity. Educational and practice strategies should target the development of fundament motor skills and perceived motor competence to increase the participation of male students in the physical activity.

Abstract
The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of teaching games for understanding approach (TGfU) on aerobic endurance, enhancing motor performance and promoting physical activity. To this end, the ten-year-old (mean age=10.2 years, SD 0.7) students in two fourth-grade classes at a school in Sirjan were randomly divided into control and experimental group (N= 22 for each group). First, all participants were given Canadian Agility and Movement Skills Assessment (CAMSA) and Pacer test were taken and their level of physical activity was measured and recorded with a pedometer. The students in the experimental group participated in an intervention program for 36 sessions each for 45 minutes. The participants in the control group followed the usual program. Finally in the end of the intervention, the-second-time- performed tests were given to both groups. Mann-Whitney U test and “Poisson regression analysis” by using GEE method" was used to data analyze. Finally, the same tests were performed after intervention program for both groups. Results indicated that, this approach can play a significant role on agility and movement skills and level of physical activity, while no significant difference was observed on aerobic endurance. The results support the hypothesis that the use of TGfU approach can be effective in facilitating the development of motor performance and improving the level of physical activity among children.

Abstract
Understanding how physical-activity of Iranian-girls aged 7-12 years in the current situation and designing a model for it is a requirement of strategic-thinking and it can help relevant managers make important decisions. Therefore the purpose of this study was to design a conceptual model of physical-activity for Iranian-girls aged 7-12 years. The research method was Grounded theory, systematic approach. The sampling method was theoretical sampling and in order to achieve theoretical saturation, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 6 fathers, 17 mothers and 17 girls while studying literature. Findings show that there are 14 main categories related to the physical-activity of Iranian-girls aged 7-12 years. The main actor in the designed model is the mothers who consider the conditions and plays the role of the main guider of the girl in consultation with her husband and daughter and the trainer. The findings also showed sovereignty institutions, the Ministry of Education, and schools; unexpectedly; do not have a favorable effect on the physical-activity of Iranian-girls aged 7-12 years. Thus; meaningful activation and constructive interaction between mothers, related organizations and institutions; especially schools; and the optimal use of the existing sports facilities in the country can significantly increase physical-activity among girls aged 7-12.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate relationship of physical activity during the COVID-19 Pandemic with life expectancy and life satisfaction of elderly. Methodology was descriptive-correlational which was done cross-sectionally in the year 2021. Statistical population included all of elderly people aged ≥60 years in Hamadan city. The number of 391 people participated who were selected from public places in Hamadan city by using a convenience sampling method. Data were collected using International Physical Activity Questionnaire, Life Expectancy, and Life Satisfaction. Data were analyzed by SPSS 26 and Smart PLS 3 software and structural equation method. The average age of the participants was 67.73±7.18 years. Mean and standard deviation of life satisfaction and life expectancy were 18.18±6.56, 19.98±6.85, respectively. 54.2% of people had low level of physical activity, 37.6% Moderate level of physical activity, and 8.2% high levels of physical activity. Physical activity had a positive and significant effect on life satisfaction (p<0.01) and life expectancy (p<0.01). According to the results, if the elderly participate in the physical activities, the results will be increasing of life satisfaction and life expectancy During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between motor competence, cardiovascular fitness test and physical activity of adolescents with the role of mediation of perceived competence. The research sample consisted of 386 adolescent boys. Perceived competence was measured using Physical Ability scale of the short form of the Marshall Self-Descriptive Questionnaire (2010). From the pedometer And physical activity questionnaire for older children was used to measure physical activity, and using Bruininks-Oseretsky Test test for measuring motor competence and a 1600-meter test for cardiovascular fitness test. The results showed a significant correlation between motor competence, perceived competence, cardiovascular fitness test and physical activity. Perceived competence mediates association between motor competence and physical activity, fitness and cardiovascular fitness test. Finally, the results of the model showed that perceived competence had the most impact on the participation of adolescent physical activity. Also, motor competence has a greater effect on cardiovascular fitness test than perceived competence. According to the results of the research, educational programs should be designed and designed according to the importance of motor competence and perceived competence to improve participation of physical activity and physical fitness of adolescents.
