Motivation is an essential part of team performance as it urges teams to make a collaborative effort and achieve a common objective or accomplish a specific task effectively and most efficiently. The current study aims to investigate self-efficacy for self-regulated learning and self-efficacy for motivation and team performance especially in the case of a basketball game. The study examines the mediating role of motivation among the nexus of self-efficacy for self-regulated learning, self-efficacy for achievement, and team performance. The data was gathered through questionnaires from different basketball team players, while smart-PLS was executed for data analysis. The results revealed that self-efficacy for self-regulated learning and self-efficacy for achievement had a positive association with motivation and team performance. The findings also exposed that motivation positively mediated among the nexus of self-efficacy for self-regulated learning, self-efficacy for achievement, and team performance. These findings are useful for the head of team management along with the sports policymakers who should benefit from its findings to enhance the self-efficacy, motivation, and team performance of basketball players.

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.
