Assessing the quality of national teams preparation camps for Tokyo 2020 Olympics

The purpose of this study was to assess the quality of the national teams preparation camps for Tokyo 2020 Olympics in terms of five key factors (hardware, finance, human, management, and information). The population of this study included athletes, coaches and supervisors of national teams of 4 sports (wrestling, shooting, volleyball and basketball) at the training camp for the Tokyo Olympic Event.The sampling method was a total number of 150 people. The instrument was a self_developed questionnaire in the form of Likertchr('39')s 5-point scale, which was distributed among subjects after determining the formal and content validity and reliability (α = 0.82). The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test (P≤0.05) was used to normalize the distribution of data. One-sample t-test was used to analyze the data of effective factors and Friedman test was used to prioritize the effective factors by using SPSS software. The results showed that the financial factor was the lowest level of quality with the mean (1.44) and then the management, information, hardware and software components averages (2.33), (3.38), ( 71/3) and the human factor an average (3.94) is at the highest level of quality. Ultimately, by providing adequate budgeting and proper planning with regard to exchange rate and inflation changes, as well as the constant presence of journalists in camps and the improvement of special hardware in the field of sport, a higher quality of camps is obtained.
