The objective of this study was to fill the existing knowledge void and assess the effects of functional training, sports psychology, and team-building activities on the psychological well-being of basketball players. This study focuses on the mental health of players in Iraq, as there is limited existing literature on this topic. In addition, the study focused on the population of basketball players in Iraq, with a sample size of 200 Iraqi basketball players. Data was collected using random sampling, specifically from a five-point Likert scale questionnaire. The data collected for this research was analysed using R Packages in RStudio. A study revealed that functional training, sports psychology, and team building have a significant and positive effect on the mental well-being of basketball players in Iraq. This study filled the gaps in the existing literature by making a valuable theoretical contribution. The research findings are highly reliable for informing practical policymaking and implementation strategies aimed at improving the mental health of basketball players in Iraq.

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.
