Physical Activity, Learning Experience, and Their Influence on Athletic and Sports Performance in the United States: The Mediating Role of Quality of Life
Abstrct
The purpose of this study is to examine the associations between physical activity (PA), sportsman learning experiences (SLE), and sports performance in a sample of football players from the United States. The study specifically aims to explore the potential moderating effect of physical health impairments (PHYI) and the mediating role of quality of life (QOL) in these relationships. A quantitative cross-sectional methodology was employed to gather data from 300 football players. The data collection process involved the use of self-administered questionnaires, and a convenient sampling technique was utilised. The data that was gathered was subjected to analysis using both demographic and inferential statistics with the assistance of SPSS. The regression analysis demonstrates a statistically significant and positive relationship between physical activity (PA) and both quality of life (QOL) and subjective life expectancy (SLE). Furthermore, the findings suggest that QOL partially mediates the association between PA and SLE. It is worth mentioning that the inclusion of PHYI significantly amplifies the beneficial impact of physical activity on systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The aforementioned findings underscore the necessity of implementing all-encompassing athlete development initiatives that prioritise both the physical and mental well-being of individuals, particularly those athletes who are confronted with health-related obstacles. The present study makes a valuable contribution to the ongoing exploration of athlete development and provides practical implications for the design of comprehensive athlete support systems with the goal of improving athletic performance and overall life satisfaction.

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.
