This study emphasises the importance of understanding the central role of the core in functions such as force transfer, spinal stability, injury prevention, and precise movement control. The importance of developing core muscles to maintain good posture, improve proprioception, and enhance body composition for overall well-being is emphasised. This study rigorously evaluates the effects of core stability training and Valsalva Maneuvers (VM) on the balance and specific skills of college football players. A random sample of around 90 soccer players from a polytechnic in Sichuan Province, China, was chosen. All participants had at least two years of experience playing soccer and were between the ages of 18 and 20 on average. Two interventions were randomly assigned to two groups, while a third group served as the control. To allocate subjects, the study used an equated group design and a random group design to assign treatments. The data was analysed using ANCOVA and mean variance methods, which showed significant differences between the initial and final means of the treatment groups compared to the control group.The results indicate a positive association between core stability training, Valsalva Maneuvers, and improved balance and specific skills in athletes. Individuals who engage in these training modalities demonstrate enhancements in balance, resilience, decision-making, stamina, concentration, and tolerance. The results of this study are consistent with previous research, highlighting the importance of core stability training and Valsalva Maneuvers in enhancing athletic performance.

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.
