Abstrct
The choice of continuing to participate in sports and physical activities for athletes is impacted by many social and economic factors; however, the support that players get is an important indicator of their sport continuing intentions and motivations. The following research study aims to analyze the impact of certain need support factors on the continuing intentions of athletes in China. Moreover, it also aims to examine the mediating role of enthusiastic commitment and the constrained commitment of the athletes. In this case, the researcher collects the requisite information with the help of a survey questionnaire in which a total of 438 participants is selected for the research study as a sample size that has some experience in athletics and were of Chinese ethnicity. The process of data analysis is conducted with the assistance of several techniques and tests like rotated component matrix, KMO and Bartlett’s test, confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis and structural equation modeling. The results of the research study shows that direct impact of autonomy support and relatedness support is significant and positive on intentions of continuing and the mediation of constrained commitment is full, while that of enthusiastic commitment is partial. The researcher has also included the overall implications and contributions of the study and the limitations of the process so that future scholars and researchers can further build on them in their work.

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.
