Examining the Relationship Between Sports Participation and Student Motivation: Testing the Mediation of Resilience among University Students in Bahrain
Abstrct
This study examines the interplay between sports participation, resilience, and academic motivation among Bahraini university students. Employing a robust theoretical foundation rooted in Self-Determination Theory (SDT), Broaden-and-Build Theory, and the Stress-Buffering Hypothesis, the research explores how sports participation fosters resilience, which in turn mediates its effect on student motivation. Data were collected from 153 university students through validated scales measuring sports participation, resilience, and academic motivation. Structural equation modelling revealed that while sports participation alone did not significantly influence student motivation, its indirect effect through resilience was substantial. The findings underscore resilience as a critical psychological asset that bridges the relationship between sports engagement and academic outcomes. The study highlights the cultural and educational relevance of integrating sports into academic settings to enhance resilience and motivation. Recommendations are provided for policymakers and educators to design resilience-focused interventions leveraging sports participation to optimize academic success. Limitations and directions for future research are also discussed.

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.
