Research on Sports Participation Among College Students in China: a Social-Ecological Perspective
Abstrct
This study aims to enhance college students' participation in sports by examining the factors influencing their engagement and exploring improvement measures across various dimensions. Utilizing the social-ecological theory, a relational model was developed to assess the impact of personal, school, and family factors on sports participation among college students. A sample of 228 students, including undergraduates, postgraduates, and PhD Candidates, was surveyed using the College Students' Sports Participation Scale. Descriptive statistics, regression analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation modelling were conducted using SPSS 27.0 software. The multiple regression analysis results indicated that the model comprising personal, school, and family factors significantly explained 15.3% of the variance in sports participation (F (3, 227) =13.536, p=0.000). However, family factors (β=-0.09, t=-0.792, p=0.429) were not significant predictors of sports participation. In contrast, personal factors (β=0.263, t=2.513, p<0.05) and school factors (β=0.270, t=2.327, p<0.05) were significant, with school factors being the most influential predictor. The regression equation derived from the study is ŷ = 0.270x1 + 0.263x2 + 0.890. The findings underscore the significant impact of the college sports environment on students' participation in sports. Personal factors also play a crucial role in enhancing students' awareness and engagement in sports activities, whereas family factors have a minimal effect. Additionally, significant differences were observed in sports participation based on gender and educational level. To foster greater sports participation among college students, it is essential to strengthen curriculum development, provide teacher guidance, and improve the material and institutional environment.

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.
