Abstract
The purpose of this research was to determine the relation between principals' transactional and transformational leadership styles and the motivational needs of physical education teachers based on Douglas McGregor's X & Y theory. According to X theorical supposing human is interest to work and responsible and this is in her essence. This person is self control and self motivation. Whereas in according to Y theorical, human is comfort-seeking person and he can work only with duress(compulsion), directly control and fear of punishment. All of the physical education teachers in the West Azarbaijan province were the statistical society for this research (N=640) and 241 teachers were selected randomly as sample. After verifying the validity of the Bass & Avolio's Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) as well as Alan Chapman's motivational needs Questionnaire by the experts, their reliability were calculated in a pilot study (&alpha=0.940 and &alpha=0.906 respectively for leadership and motivation questionnaires). Data were analyzed by the Pearson correlation coefficient, independent t-test, ANOVA and repeated measure tests. The results showed positive significant correlation between transformational (r=0.538, sig=0.001) and transactional (r=0.445, sig=0.001) leadership styles with McGregor's theory Y assumptions (p> 0.01). There was no significant negative correlation between laissez- faire leadership style and theory Y assumptions (r=-0.080, sig=0.216). There was a significant difference between preferences of principals' leadership styles (p> 0.01). Thus, transformational style (2.345±0.852) was in first and the transactional (1.928±0.713) and laissez- faire (1.251±0.972) styles were in next preferences. From physical education teachers' perspective, the existing status in this province's schools was equivalent with theory X assumptions. It can be concluded that, transformational principals have more desire and belief to theory Y assumptions and these principals having Y-type attitude to employees, will have more ability to motivating them.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine of the factorial structure of the Self- Regulation Questionnaire in college physical education class (SRQ-PE). 277 students were selected by cluster random sampling in Urmia universities. The results of confirmatory factor analysis determined 5-factor model for the structure of the SRQ-PE with 71.03% of total variance. The confirmatory factor analysis showed acceptable goodness of fit indices for the data among students. Also, the significant positive relationship of intrinsic and identified regulation with PE-enjoyment and intention to continue of physical activity, confirmed the concurrent validity. The items for all sub-scales have a high internal consistency above of 0.75 of Cronbach's alpha. The findings suggest that SRQ-PE is a valid and reliable measurement for assessing the motivational self-regulation in college PE class. As a conclusion, the results demonstrate the importance of developing self-determination in PE, as it is associated with desirable behavioural outcomes.

Abstract
Promoting physical activities at schools not only encourage students to do sport along their lifetime but also lead to a better physical and mental health among them. Therefore, the aim of this study is first to predict the future of sport among Iranian students, then, to develop its scenarios for the next 15 years and finally to make a strategy. In this study, the scenario-based approach, which is based on an intuitive logic one, was applied and the method of trends and uncertainty analysis as well as a six-step integrated scenario planning were used. The participants of this study were 38 internal and external stakeholders of Iranian student sport selected by purposeful sampling. The data were collected by interviews and open-ended questionnaires. According to the findings, the analysis of the 30 key factors resulted in two key uncertainties: "regional planning and resource abundance" and "adaptive legislation on the principle of cultural difference" which form the basis of the four main student sport scenarios. As a result, to develop Iranian student sport, it is recommended to make a comprehensive planning based on local ecological issues for each region.
