Abstract

The aim of the present research was to examine the proper use, equipment assessment, and coaches' awareness of exercises in indoor sports facilities. This study was conducted with an applied research objective, using a field research approach, and the data collection method was descriptive survey. The statistical population of the research consisted of all indoor sports facilities in Parsabad County. Since their number exceeded 6,400, the population was considered unlimited, and a sample size of 400 individuals was selected. To collect information, a researcher-made questionnaire was used, assessing the safety and hygiene of indoor sports facilities in Parsabad County. In this regard, the evaluation of safety and hygiene in indoor sports facilities in Parsabad County was divided into five regions: east, west, north, south, and central, and the questionnaires were equally distributed among the customers of these sports facilities. The data from the mentioned questionnaire were analyzed using the SPSS 18 software through descriptive statistics. The validity of this questionnaire was confirmed by sports management professors, and its reliability was determined as 0.70. The results indicated that the coaching method, proper execution of exercises, and correct equipment usage, as well as equipment assessment and control, were areas where coaches' awareness was lacking when performing exercises. Furthermore, coaches' awareness of the risks associated with unauthorized drug use in inappropriate conditions was inadequate.
