This article explored how athletes' performance is influenced by their flow state, suggesting cognitive interventions to enhance their experiences and improve performance. The experiment recruited 120 athletes, covering various sports such as basketball, soccer, volleyball, table tennis, sprinting, long jump, high jump, swimming, and weightlifting, yielding 100 valid questionnaires were obtained. Athletes' flow states, measured by the Flow State Scale (FSS), showed connections with psychological traits. Tailored cognitive interventions improved athletes' flow states, leading to significant enhancements in FSS scores and overall sports performance. The research findings indicate that using cognitive intervention methods to enhance athletes' flow states not only improves their skill performance but also provides valuable insights for enhancing sports training methods and psychological intervention policies, thereby promoting athletes to better unleash their potential and elevate the overall level of competition.

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.
