Purpose: In this study, we investigated the effects of resistance training types on clinical and functional indices in older individuals with Osteosarcopenia. Method: In this Systematic Review study, a systematic searching strategy was used in information databases such as Pub Med, Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar, Cochrane, and Ambace, all of the studies were extracted by using specific keywords such as Strength exercise, Exercise training, Resistance exercise, Resistance training, Strength training, Physical activity, Osteosarcopenia, Aging, Older adult, Elderly which were published on 7th August 2023. After all preliminary screening, surveying of complete text, and assessment of critical studies, scrutinized articles were related to inclusion criteria. Finally, 17 papers were selected for this study. Results: According to the present study, Resistance training for Osteosarcopenia older individuals has an effective result to improve Osteosarcopenia risk factors, and older patients’ performance and clinical status. However, it has to be mentioned that it needs further study in the contexts of Resistance training and Osteosarcopenia syndrome in elderly adults. Conclusion: Resistance exercise training has markedly beneficial effects on elderly patients with Osteosarcopenia which improves Sarcopenia risk factors, and older patients’ performance, clinical status and function of elderly patients.

The present research examines the relationship between metacognitive beliefs and anxiety sensitivity with conscientiousness of lifeguards. This is a descriptive-correlational research and has been carried out by the field method. The statistical population of the research included all female lifeguards in the east of the country and at different work levels (310 people). Next, according to the type of statistical population, the sample size was calculated using Morgan's table to the number of 150 people, and they completed the questionnaires of metacognitive beliefs, anxiety sensitivity and conscientiousness. Data were analyzed through Pearson correlation and multiple regression statistical tests simultaneously. The results showed that there is a significant correlation between metacognitive beliefs and anxiety sensitivity with conscientiousness (p≤0.05). Positive metacognitive beliefs have a positive and significant relationship with conscientiousness, while the relationship between negative metacognitive beliefs and anxiety sensitivity with conscientiousness is negative and significant. Since lifeguards should be at the peak of responsibility, knowing the issues that can negatively affect their conscientiousness can be a solution or suggestion to improve their performance. Therefore, according to the results of the research, it is suggested to discuss the psychological preparation of lifeguards, especially in the cognitive aspect. There should be more emphasis

The passion scale mainly focuses on the passion for achievement or becoming good in some area/theme/skill. This study aimed to translate the passion scale and assess reliability and content and construct validity for the passion scale in athletic adults in Tehran city. A cross-cultural translation was used to generate a Persian-English version of the passion scale. A total of 200 athletes adults with age 26/79 ± 5/01 completed Persian version of passion scale (PS), enabling us to investigate its feasibility, content validity, internal consistency, construct validity and test-retest reliability. 30 athletes adults stated that all the questionnaire items were simple, clear, and related to the objectives. The overall pattern of results suggests that the scale for passion presented here is applicable for the age studied. The calculated CVI and CVR were 0.94 and 0.91, respectively. All individual item scores correlated positively with the total score, with correlations ranging from 0.67 to 0.81. The Cronbach's alpha value for the standardized items was 0.88. Pearson correlations coefficient between total score passion scale and Grit-S scale were 0.53 for athletic adults. Intra class correlation coefficients (ICCs) between test and retest scores for the total score was 0.92. The results of this study showed that this Persian version of passion scale in athletes adults has a good validity and reliability and can be used in investigating passion of athletes adults.

Research shows that narcissistic traits such as self-conceit and entitlement are associated with delinquency and aggression in childhood and adolescence. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between narcissism and tendency to abnormal behavior and assertiveness with the mediating role of mindfulness among active students. The present study was a cross-sectional study of correlation with structural equation modeling. The statistical population was all male students in the second year of high schools in Torbat Heydarieh city, Northeastern Iran, in the academic year 2022-2023. According to the Morgan table, the size of the statistical sample was estimated to be 200 active male students who were selected stratified random sampling method. The data collection tools included Baer et al.'s Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) (2006), Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI-40) from Raskin and Terry (1988), Rostami and Rad's Abnormal Behavior Tendency Questionnaire (2012), and Kotler and Giura's Assertiveness Questionnaire. Data analysis was done using structural equations with PLS version 3 software. The findings showed that there was a positive and significant relationship between narcissism and tendency to abnormal behavior, and there was no significant relationship between assertiveness and tendency to abnormal behavior. The mediating role of mindfulness on the effect of assertiveness and the tendency to abnormal behavior was confirmed, but the mediating role of mindfulness on the effect of narcissism on the tendency to abnormal behavior was not confirmed. In order to reduce the tendency toward abnormal behavior in active students, it is recommended to strengthen assertiveness by mindfulness training, as well as designing educational and behavioral therapy programs to control narcissism.
