Studying the Varying Impact of Working Memory, Attention and Pressure on Sports Performance in Presence of Physical Fitness: An Empirical Study
Abstrct
The main aim of this study is to critically evaluate the influence of pressure, working memory and attention on the overall sports performance in the context of the sports sector in China. To fulfill that aim, game or job pressure is studied as an independent variable, sports performance as a dependent variable, while working memory capacity, working memory control and attention act as mediators within this research study. Authentic and first-hand sources of data collection were used for the purposes of this study wherein different online surveys were conducted to study the performance of Chinese athletes. For this purpose, relevant respondents i.e. athletes, coaches, management and related experienced stakeholders were considered for accurate data collection. After this, the confirmatory factor analysis and the structural equation modeling based authentic statistical tests have been performed whose outcomes justified the proposed hypothesis of this research. According to the SEM-based authentic outcomes, the game/ job pressure caused a negative significant impact on working memory capacity, working memory control, attention, and the overall sports performance of Chinese athletes. While, the mediators i.e. working memory capacity, working memory control and attention caused a positive significant impact on the sports performance within the context of this study. Overall, it’s an important source of information for the Chinese sports community, their coaches, trainers, decision-makers and other related ones to utilize its authentic data in their upcoming sports-related activities. Also, upcoming scholars can utilize this authentic data in their own research studies. This research also carries some contextual, theoretical, and methodological gaps that can be overcome by future researchers and scholars

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.
