The Stimulus of Physical Activity, Exercise Motives, and Sports Engagements to Improve Sportsman Mental Health: A Quantitative Study on Canadian Universities
Abstrct
The objective of this study is to examine the associations between physical activity, exercise motivations, sports participation, and mental well-being among university students in Canada. A quantitative research approach was utilised in this study, employing a cross-sectional design and a convenient sampling method. Data were collected from a sample of 500 students enrolled in sports universities. The collected data were then analysed using SPSS software. The study revealed a noteworthy positive correlation between physical activity, exercise motivations, sports involvement, and mental well-being. In particular, there exists a positive association between elevated levels of physical activity (PA), heightened exercise motivations, and increased involvement in sports with improved outcomes in mental health. The results of multiple regression analyses demonstrated that the combination of these three factors accounted for a significant proportion of the variability observed in mental health scores, underscoring their significance in fostering psychological well-being. The results of the study have practical implications for universities in Canada. In order to optimise the welfare of students, educational institutions should give precedence to implementing strategies that foster physical activity within campus premises, facilitate the cultivation of robust exercise motivations, and advocate for active participation in sports. Establishing an atmosphere conducive to mental well-being and comprehensive growth has the potential to enhance the overall academic achievement of students. Additionally, it has been proposed that the research indicators may elicit the release of neurotransmitters such as endorphins and serotonin within the brain, which are known to contribute to an enhanced emotional state. Additionally, it has the potential to enhance one's physical fitness, thereby contributing to an elevated emotional state.

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.
