Abstract: The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of Basketball specific repeated – sprint training on aerobic capacity of male Basketball players. To achieve the purpose of the study thirty male basketball players were selected randomly from Department of Physical Education and Sports Sciences, Yogi veman University, Kadapa. The selected subjects were assigned into 2 groups: basketball specific repeated - sprint training group (n=15) and control group (n=15). The selected subjects mean age: 23.15±3.00 years; weight: 68.74±7.25 kg and height: 176.37±7.67 cm. The criterion variable selected in this study was aerobic capacity which was measured by multistage fitness test.............

Abstract: The current study was done in order to examine the psychometric properties of Persian Version of Dispositional Flow Scale-2 (DFS-2) among Iranian athletes. The original Dispositional Flow Scale-2 contains 36 items and nine subscales. The Dispositional Flow Scale-2 was distributed among the 1180 Iranian athletes with an average age of 20/4 year from different sports. To determine the internal consistency, temporal stability, the validity of exploratory construct and model confirmation, Cronbach's alpha, intraclass correlation coefficient, Exploratory Factor Analysis, confirmatory factor analysis..........
