The study investigated employability dynamics among Chinese collegiate athletes, with a focus on professional identity (PI) and an analysis of time management (TM) as a mediating factor. Understanding the relationship between PT, TM, and EMT is essential for Chinese college athletes as they navigate demanding academic and athletic environments. Data was gathered from five universities involving a sample of 224 student-athletes, consisting of 142 males and 82 females. Analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). This study examines the influence of PI on EMT results, both directly and indirectly, by analysing its impact on TM practices using the Partial Least Squares – Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) statistical package for the social sciences. The study revealed complex connections and routes, providing insight into the impact of PI on athletes' preparedness for the workforce. The study highlights the importance of developing mental toughness and improving technical skills to improve career opportunities for Chinese college athletes. The study presents a framework to help athletes effectively manage the challenges of professional travel. The article provides valuable insights into college athletes, higher education, and career development.

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.
