Abstrct
The perception of innovativeness within sports clubs can significantly impact consumer decision-making by reducing risk. This, in turn, can foster trust between martial arts clubs and their customers. This study seeks to investigate the role of COVID-19 risk perception in mediating the relationship between sports club innovativeness and trust in martial arts clubs, specifically during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data was gathered from 249 individuals who participate in sports clubs in Ankara, the capital city of Türkiye. The hypotheses were tested using mediation analysis with the help of the Process macro. Research has demonstrated a connection between the perception of COVID-19 risk, the innovativeness of sports clubs, and the level of trust among individuals. Researchers have found that sports clubs' innovative practices reduce the perceived risk of COVID-19 among their members, thereby boosting trust in martial arts clubs. The result of the study has important implications for sports club managers during times of crisis, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. It suggests that prioritising firm innovativeness can be a crucial strategy to influence sports consumers' trust in sports clubs.

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.
