Abstract

This research is intended to develop a model of physical fitness curriculum in the armed forces for the use of commanders, managers, programmers, and experts. This mixed study included 125 physical fitness commanders and experts. A semi-structured interview and a researcher-made questionnaire were employed for data collection. The semi-structured interview was tested by binomial test, and the content validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by Louche coefficient of 0.9 and Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.948. The data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistical methods (structural equations, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, confirmatory factor analysis and partial least squares structural equations) with SPSS and PLS software. The results showed that the final model of physical education curriculum included three main dimensions including public, organizational, and championship sports each of which contained six components (goals, content, teaching methods, instructors, and sport facilities and spaces, and evaluation). 127 indicators were identified for all components. The results of survey indicated that the content and instructors have not been considered in exercising the programs. This is an essential issues in the planning sport programs which need to be considered for enhancing the physical fitness of the group based on the type of their jobs and services.
