Abstrct
This study provides a comprehensive analysis of board characteristics in the National Sports Federation of the Netherlands. The Netherlands has implemented regulations to promote board diversity, emphasising the importance of ensuring diverse representation. This study utilises a cross-sectional and descriptive research design, employing content analysis of publicly accessible data. The study's findings indicate an increasing presence of women in leadership roles, specifically on boards and in managerial positions, within sports organisations. There is a growing emphasis on gender-balanced boards as a means to enhance governance and decision-making through the inclusion of diverse perspectives. The study conducted a comparative analysis of the Netherlands in relation to other countries in order to enhance the argument. The study contributes to the existing theoretical literature on board diversity and governance in sports organisations. The study emphasises the importance of sports organisations developing policies that prioritise diversity and inclusivity, involving all relevant stakeholders in the governance processes.

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.
