Comparative Effectiveness of National Sports Funding Policies: A Data-Driven Analysis in Recent Years
Abstrct
This paper conducts a comparative analysis of national sports funding policies in the United States, China, and Russia over recent years. By adopting a data-driven approach, the study evaluates how each country allocates and administers funding to sports and assesses the effectiveness of these strategies in promoting sports development. Unlike the existing literature on art funding modes, this research specifically targets the sports sector, identifying unique funding characteristics and outcomes in each nation. The analysis reveals that, although all three countries prioritize sports funding, their methods and impacts vary significantly due to differences in governmental involvement, cultural emphasis on sports, and the operational mechanisms of funding distribution. This study provides a detailed discussion on the comparative merits and drawbacks of the sports funding policies in these countries, offering insights into how governmental departments enhance or hinder sports development through their funding strategies. The findings aim to contribute to the broader understanding of global sports policy effectiveness, guiding policymakers seeking to refine sports funding models to achieve better athletic and societal outcomes.

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.
