Abstrct
Wushu is a classic Chinese martial art that is well-known around the world for its aesthetic appeal, physical advantages and rich cultural heritage. In general, wushu is also called as kung-fu. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the opportunities and difficulties associated with wushu sports on college campuses. All collegiate athletes were included in the study's population, and a non-probable, purposeful sample was used. Student-athletes were given a questionnaire created by the researcher. Software called SPSS v.23 was used to analyze the student-athletes' responds. The findings indicate that it is challenging for student-athletes to strike a balance between their engagement in sports and their academic obligations. The wushu players, reported satisfaction with the standard of facilities and equipment, coaching, financial incentives, administrative assistance, and academic success in their particular colleges. The stakeholders may improve the overall experience and performance of wushu players by taking proactive measures to solve the issues raised by using the study's strengths. The growth and promotion of Wushu sports on college campuses are an intersection, where there are obstacles to overcome and prospects for widespread acceptance are uncertain. Colleges can support the global development of Wushu and create a diverse and inclusive sports culture on campuses throughout the globe by solving the challenges that have been highlighted and capitalizing on the possibilities that present themselves.

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.
