Abstrct

This study examines the impact of public policy, specifically health policy, on sports promotion and support. This analysis explores the impact of healthcare policies on sports activities and the significance of public policy in enhancing population health. It evaluates policies across different countries and sectors to determine their effectiveness. The study employs various research methods, including policy analysis, case studies, and secondary data analysis, to offer a comprehensive view of policy effects. The findings indicate that healthcare policies play a vital role in promoting sports. Health insurance, healthcare promotional campaigns, and the construction of appropriate sports facilities all have a significant impact on sports participation levels. Through the implementation of comprehensive sports promotion policies, there was a notable 7.3 percentage point increase observed over a span of five years. The study also emphasises the secondary impacts, such as a slight decrease in healthcare expenses and enhanced approaches to tackling chronic illnesses and mental health concerns. The study highlights the effectiveness of policy interventions, such as the national fitness policy in Nordic countries and South Korea, which emphasise the use of multidisciplinary approaches. Implications: The outcomes provide guidelines for developing and implementing healthcare policies, suggestions for improving long-term Integrated Health Care Policy, and proposals for targeted solutions that address diverse populations.

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.
