This research aims to develop a strategic succession planning model in the sport of gymnastics in Iraq. The research, from an applied perspective, utilizes descriptive-analytical methods and, in terms of execution method, employs qualitative research. The data for this research were gathered through semi-structured interviews and sampling was done purposefully using the Strauss and Corbin method. Among all managers and stakeholders in gymnastics across Iraq, a total of 11 individuals were selected for the interviews based on theoretical saturation. The interviews were analyzed using interpretive analysis techniques, open coding, axial coding, and selective coding. The analysis of the interviews identified the conditions for succession planning, including human resource management, talent management, support programs, and efficiency enhancement. The contextual and organizational factors influencing succession planning (strategic succession), the conditions for intervention (individual factors), strategies (creating a succession system and individual evaluation), and the consequences (individual and organizational development) were explored. The findings of the interview analysis indicate that strategic succession planning in Iraqi gymnastics can lead to a sense of belonging and development efforts, strengthening the workforce, and using the experiences of veterans to enhance the stability and sustainability of gymnastics in Iraq.

... Despite this being a critical transitional period, during which many psychiatric disorders emerge in late adolescence and early adulthood (Kessler et al., 2005) some epidemiological studies have shown that 12% to 50% of college and university students meet the criteria for one or more common mental disorders (Verger et al., 2010), (Hunt & Eisenberg, 2010)and (Blanco et al., 2008)the aforementioned national survey recently reported a worrying increase. Therefore, identifying risk and protective factors in this population may have multiple benefits, given the profound implications that mental health problems have on subsequent educational, social, and economic outcomes (Gammage R, 2014) In this regard, several studies have shown that physical exercise can induce various physiological changes and mechanisms in the body that may, in turn, reduce stress levels or modulate the stress response by improving mood and positive affect, thus exerting a protective effect against the negative impact of stress on health (TSATSOULIS & FOUNTOULAKIS, 2006) It has long been established that plasma levels of endorphins increase immediately after physical activity and exercise, which is associated with a sense of euphoria among athletes (Hammad, 2022) Furthermore, physical exercise is associated with the functioning of several neurotransmitters in the brain, including serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, suggesting that physical activity acts similarly to antidepressant medications (Al-Khafaji & Seifari, 2024) Also, regarding the socio-cultural consequences of leisure-recreational sports, it should be noted that having up-to-date information on how to spend leisure time is one of the issues that can be used by planners. Implementing organizations such as the Ministry of Sports and Youth also examine and obtain descriptive information about how to spend their leisure time at different times. ...
