Physical Education Programmes Improve Sportsman's Motivation, Attitude, and Self-Efficacy: A Mixed Methods Study in Germany
Abstrct
Physical education plays a crucial role in the holistic development of students; however, it presents a significant challenge for universities in Germany. In order to achieve this objective, a physical activity programme was developed with the intention of providing individualised assistance to enhance both the quantity and quality of physical education. Additionally, the programme aims to promote improvements in self-efficacy, attitudes, and motivation towards physical education, which are influential factors in enhancing athletic performance. Hence, this study investigates the impact of physical education on motivation, attitude, and self-efficacy in promoting physical activity among university students in Germany. In order to achieve the objectives of this study, a sample of 250 athletes from German universities was selected using a convenient sampling technique. The data collected from this sample was primarily quantitative in nature. Additionally, qualitative data was obtained by conducting 15 interviews. The researcher utilised a mixed-methods approach. The data was subjected to analysis using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software, employing pre-test and post-test phases. The results obtained from both qualitative and quantitative analyses unequivocally emphasise the significant advantages of the physical education programme for all individuals involved. Significantly, the anticipated effects were observed in terms of important outcomes such as the reduction of negative attitudes, the increase in desire for exercise, and the enhancement of opinions regarding physical ability. The study provided additional evidence that supports the effectiveness of personalised physical education interventions. These interventions have the potential to improve students' attitudes, motivation, and self-efficacy towards physical activity in school settings. The study's conclusion included a discussion on the limitations of the research and potential avenues for future investigation.

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.
