As a vital indication of academic success and adaptive behavior, academic engagement among college students has garnered significant interest in education. Yet, the relationship between physical activity and academic engagement has received little study, particularly among college students. This study investigates the relationship between academic engagement, self-efficacy, trait mindfulness, and physical activity among college students. This study studied 469 college students using SPSS and AMOS software, CFA, correlation, Bootstrap, and other statistical methods. Physical Activity Rating Measure, Mindful Awareness Attention Scale, General Self-Efficacy Scale, and College student academic engagement scale served as the basis for this study. According to studies, college students' physical activity can have both direct and indirect effects on their academic engagement via the chain mediation of trait mindfulness and self-efficacy. It is recommended that college students engage in physical activity while attending classes to develop long-lasting and consistent fitness routines. In addition to establishing a theoretical and empirical foundation for boosting the academic engagement of college students through physical exercise, this study is expected to increase our understanding of the internal mechanisms behind the effect of physical activity on academic engagement.

The advent of cinema brought with it its use as a propaganda device with which to transmit ideals and doctrines. As a result, newsreels and cinema documentaries were born with the aim of showing the «most relevant» news of the country and abroad, the former with a shorter duration. In this study, the Spanish NO-DO and «Sucesos Argentinos» are used as primary sources to interpret the images and imaginaries that were projected between 1943 and 1955 on female physical culture. The intention is to understand the official discourse of both political regimes on what Argentinean and Spanish society should be like, especially by questioning those meanings about women. In total, 69 issues of NO-DO and 14 editions of «Sucesos Argentinos» have been found which aim to show female physical culture in this period. The female physical culture shown in both newsreels was aimed at strengthening women’s bodies so that they could carry out their «natural functions» (mother, wife, housewife), as well as highlighting their «inferiority» in relation to men through lower impact activities and the homogenization of bodies through clothing, and the performance of the same exercises in synchrony. And all this in countries with different regimes, but which, in the end, coincided.
