This study examines the key factors influencing college students' engagement in physical exercise and proposes relevant strategies for promotion, grounded in Social Cognitive Theory (SCT). A survey of 500 college students was conducted, with the data analysed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The findings reveal that self-efficacy, social support, and environmental factors exert a significant influence on students' physical exercise behaviours. Moreover, the study identifies attitudes and intentions as mediators in the relationship between self-efficacy and physical exercise behaviour. In light of these results, the study recommends strategies aimed at enhancing students' self-efficacy in physical exercise, strengthening social support systems, and improving the exercise environment. This research offers both theoretical insights and empirical evidence to assist universities in formulating effective policies to promote physical exercise among students.

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.
