This study aimed to investigate the correlation between athletes' mental training levels and their attitudes toward playing digital games. The research group consisted of 211 active athletes from the province of Bitlis who volunteered their time. In the study, the "Personal Information Form" served as the data collection instrument, the "Mental Training Inventory in Sports" was used to assess the mental training levels of the athletes, and the "Digital Gaming Attitude Scale" was employed to determine their attitudes toward playing digital games. Following the research findings, it has been determined that there is a positive and marginally significant correlation between the athletes' mental training level and their attitudes toward playing digital games. As a result of the research, it can be concluded that the mental training levels of athletes positively influence their cognitive, affective, and psychomotor attitudes toward playing digital games.

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.
