Abstract
The purpose of this study was ranking the psycho-motor, cognitive, and affective needs of elementary, junior-high, and high school student. For this purpose, 385 P.E. specialists, 1370 Femalephysical educators, 1509 Femalestudents, and 1385 student mothers from capital cities of 25 provinces in the country, participated in this study. Twelve physical-motor needs, 15 sport-skill needs, 13 cognitive needs, and 12 psychosocial needs were selected. Only five important needs were ranked between all the needs related to them by samples (from 1, highest priority, to 5, lowest priority). The questionnaire was made of three stages of designing instrumentation and pilot study, and with internal consistency of 0.71-0.97. The entire hypothesis was compared with Cruskall-Wallis test in level of P< 0.05. The results of this study indicated that, many of the educational needs among male and female students in elementary, junior- high and high schools were significantly different. The priority of these needs was similar between P.E. specialists and physical educators, and also between students and their parents. On the other hand there was a significant difference between the priority of psychomotor needs, in comparison to cognitive and affective needs. However, there was no significant difference between the priority of cognitive and affective needs of students in schools. Needs for teaching simple and basic skills health and good appearance also had high priority among elementary students. Needs for teaching fitness exercises sports health and good appearance also had priority among junior-high and high school students. Considering curriculum models, a combined point of views of all groups concord coefficient and the most important and priority of every group of students can be used for P.E. curriculum. These models could also be refined with other models, such as Delphi technique.

To analyze the findings, a multi-stage conceptual coding method (open, selective and thematic) with a system analysis approach was used. The final conceptual framework consisted of 121 components, 26 dimensions, 9 perspectives and 3 levels identified.

Abstract
Aim: The outbreak of Covid-19 disease has had several effects on the sports industry in general and championship and professional sports in particular. One of these effects was the one-year postponement of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics as the world's largest sporting event. The main question of the present study was whether the postponement of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics is an opportunity or a threat for our country's sports caravan?
Methodology: Grounded theory qualitative research method was used. The results indicate that a total of 92 independent initial marks were generated in the extracted codes.
Findings: Opportunity codes include 6 items (maintaining the health of athletes and people, increasing fitness, earning quotas, improving injuries, coherent planning, increasing youth experience) and also codes identifying threats of postponement of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics include 8 items (physical and mental injuries, disorder). In the training program, there was a decrease in the level of performance, athletes' injuries, athletes' retirement, uncertainty of quotas, coaches' contracts, financial difficulties).
Discussion and Conclusion: According to the results, although the one-year postponement of the Olympic Games due to the spread of the Corona virus was an opportunity for the athletes to gain more experience, heal the injured and increase the chances of getting a quota for the Iranian sports caravan, However, the use of these opportunities in the circumstances of the crisis depends on the written planning of the country's officials and sports officials so that they can increase the chance of winning medals for our country's athletes and improve the status of the Iranian caravan.
