An Exploration of the Impact of Fitness Apps on Individual Exercise Behaviour
Abstrct
In the contemporary digital landscape, the proliferation of mobile applications (apps) dedicated to sports and fitness has attained unprecedented levels. This research endeavours to explore the nuanced interconnection between the adoption of fitness apps and user engagement in physical exercise, elucidating the underlying dynamics through the lens of exercise behaviour ecology. Employing a comprehensive questionnaire survey, encompassing 868 participants in China, the study delineates its investigative framework. Utilizing the SPSS PROCESS plugin, a moderated mediation model was scrutinized to analyse the data. The outcomes of this inquiry divulge a discernible positive correlation between the utilization of sports and fitness apps and users' engagement in exercise activities. This constructive influence is further expounded through the mediating function of exercise self-efficacy in the association between app usage and exercise behaviour. Additionally, the research underscores the pivotal moderating role of social support in shaping the relationship between exercise self-efficacy and exercise behaviour within the cohort of sports and fitness app users. Essentially, augmented perceived social support enhances the beneficial impact of exercise self-efficacy on exercise conduct. These research findings not only substantiate the affirmative link between sports and fitness apps and exercise behaviour but also furnish valuable insights into harnessing novel media technologies for the advancement of nationwide fitness and health promotion initiatives. The broad scope of the survey, encompassing diverse demographic profiles, underscores the widespread relevance and import of these findings within the domain of sports and fitness app development and utilization.

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.
