The purpose of this study is to compare the performance indicators between different football positions using the Global Positioning System (GPS) in Iranian Premier League football players.This is quasi-experimental study. To conduct this research, 18 football players who are members of a club in the Iranian Premier League were selected as the available sample, and the players were divided into 6 groups based on the game post. Then the data related to the players' performance (total distance, distance traveled with maximum speed, duration of maximum speed, maximum speed, sprints, number of accelerations, and number of decelerations) in 6 consecutive matches Collected using Global Positioning System (GPS). Also, one-way ANOVA analysis and SPSS software were used for data analysis at a significant level (α = 0.05).Based on the findings of the present study, between different football positions for the variables of total distance (P≤0.00), distance traveled at maximum speed (P≤0.00), duration of maximum speed (P≤0.00), maximum speed (P≤0.00), sprints (P≤0.00), number of accelerations (P≤0.00) and number of decelerations (P≤0.00) there are significant differences.There are many fundamental differences between the performance indicators of different football positions with each other it is necessary to recognize these differences and it is necessary to consider special exercises according to the physiological needs of each post.

Purpose: the etiology of children obesity can be varied. Adipose tissue is an active tissue that secretes proteins such as TNF-α, IL-6, leptin, and adiponectin. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of short-term sprint interval training on serum levels of adiponectin, leptin, TNF-α, IL-6, insulin, and lipid profile in overweight boys. Method: a number of 30 overweight male students (with a mean age of 9.93±0.2 and BMI of 27.73±0.2) were randomly assigned to the control group (n=15) and sprint interval training (n=15). The subjects of the experimental group did the training for eight weeks, as the control group was engaged in doing their daily activities without intervention. Measurement of anthropometric indices and fasting blood collection were performed (to measure insulin, leptin, adiponectin, TNF-α, IL-6, cholesterol, LDL, HDL and TG) one day before and one day after the training program. Results: the results of the present study indicated that 8 weeks of sprint interval training significantly decreased weight and BMI in overweight children (P<0.001). In addition to weight and BMI reduction, levels of TNF-α, IL-6, leptin, insulin, cholesterol, triglyceride, and LDL significantly reduce the following eight weeks of the sprint interval workout (P< 0.001 for all), while adiponectin and HDL levels increase (P<0.001, P<0.01, respectively). Conclusions: in general, the present study demonstrate that sprint interval training which is a new way of physical activity exerted a positive effect on most of components contributing to children obesity.

Purpose: A number of clinical decision tools for osteoporosis risk assessment have been developed to select postmenopausal women for the measurement of bone mineral density. We developed Data mining algorithm with the aim of more accurately identifying the risk of in postmenopausal women compared to the ability of conventional clinical decision tools. Materials and Methods: The present study was a cross-sectional development study conducted in the second half of 2018. In the present study, first, by identifying the influential variables, a survey questionnaire was prepared to select the most important clinical factors. Bone mineral density information of women referred to the bone density measurement unit of Khatam Al-Anbia Hospital in Tehran was used to teach the K-Nearest Ne neighbors (K-NN) algorithm (based on simple studies). Evaluation was based on accuracy. We also reviewed the results of several scientific articles and suggested the best sports activities according to the bone density of individuals. Results: The K-NN algorithm with sub-curve surface (AUC) showed significant performance. The algorithm predicted the risk of osteoporosis with an accuracy of 61.7% in the femoral neck for women participating in the experiment. Also, regular resistance and endurance training exercises repeated for 2-3 times a week for a year can have significant effects on maintaining or increasing hip BMD in postmenopausal women. Conclusion: Considering various predictors associated with low bone density, the K-NN algorithm may be an effective tool for identifying women at high risk for osteoporosis. This method widely recommends and predicts regular resistance and endurance training exercises for women with a high risk of osteoporosis.
