Analysis of sport for all in Iran, with Application of Structural Equation Modeling

The essence of science is to build comprehensives model rather than scattered data, because the data in form of modeles can be discovered, explained and interpreted. The lack of reliable models in sport, and in particular, sport for all, encouraged the researcher to achieve a model for sport for all in Iran.The aim of the present study is to propose a model to measure and analyze the sport for all in Iran. For this purpose, a 66 questions questionnaire was used based on model of sport for all in Iran.The samples were selected among the Iranian sport administrates using stratified random sampling method. 320 questionnaires were collected.The Chi-square value of the model, RMSEM and goodness of fit index (GFI) was 385.76, 0.082 and 0.95, respectively. The adjusted goodness of fit index (AGFI) for the degrees of freedom was equal to 0.94. These values indicate a good fitting of the model. This model is a simplified representation of the sport for all which shows the basic constructs of sport for all in Iran.The process of sport for all in Iran can be analyzed by using the present model. It is also possible to find a new classification in sport for all.
