This research has been done with the aim of building and validating a digital transformation evaluation questionnaire in sports businesses. The purpose of this research is an exploratory research in which after studying the theoretical literature, the calculated indicators were validated using the fuzzy Delphi panel and classical psychometrics. The statistical population of this research in the fuzzy Delphi study was made up of experts in the field of digital sports businesses, 10 of whom were purposefully selected. Also, in the classic psychometric study, the statistical population was the employees of sports businesses, of which 338 answered the researcher-made questionnaire. After confirming the screening of the items and checking the hypotheses, the implementation of exploratory factor analysis with the method of principal components and Varimax rotation resulted in the extraction of 10 factors of governance and digital leadership, employee experience (internal customers), technology, innovation, model Business and ecosystem, customer experience (external customers), business processes, digital strategy, culture and skills and data. In addition, the use of second-order confirmatory factor analysis led to the confirmation of 10 questions and their related indicators. Finally, the validity of divergence, convergence and reliability of the questionnaire showed that the compatibility of the conceptual model with the tested model is suitable. Therefore, the scores obtained from the researcher-made questionnaire for evaluating the digital transformation of sports businesses have good reliability and validity to measure the digital transformation in the aforementioned businesses.

Abstract
The aim of the current research was to investigate the causal relationship between satisfaction with the quality of virtual learning and the academic performance of graduate physical education students in the northwestern provinces of the country during the Corona era through engagement as a mediator. This research was correlation type with structural equation modeling approach. The statistical population of graduate students of physical education in northwest universities of the country was formed (N=283) and the sample size was 163 selected according to Morgan's table by stratified sampling. Three Questionnaires were used to investigate the research variables. The validity of the research questionnaires was done first by using the opinion of experts to check the content validity. Then reliability was evaluated through Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Finally, the construct validity was evaluated based on model fit indices in PLS modeling software. Based on path analysis, it was found that satisfaction with the quality of virtual learning has a causal relationship with academic performance. The results showed that the variable of satisfaction with quality of virtual learning through the mediation of engagement has a significant relationship with perceived academic performance and mediation relationship was confirmed. It can be concluded that in order to be satisfied with the quality of virtual learning and also to increase the academic performance of graduate students of physical education, professors should use educational planning and new virtual methods for teaching,while the engagement of students in learning and being active in virtual classes will be facilitate and helpful.
