Experimental Analysis of the Influence of Wushu Teaching on Male College Students in China
Abstrct
The decline of college students' physical fitness in China has always been one of the major problems plaguing China's education, in general and physical education, in particular. This decline is attributed to the inadequacy of physical education (PE) in colleges. Wushu as a kind of martial arts is an important course of college PE in China, attracting lots of male college students. However, the routine teaching of traditional Wushu courses lacks exercises, failing to enhance the physical health of students. To reform the teaching methods of Wushu, this paper proposes an innovative Wushu teaching method under the Chinese Health Sports Course Mode (CHSCM to simplify the routine teaching of Wushu and emphasize on strengthening physical fitness and arranging lots of exercises without exhausting the students and improving their physical fitness. In this direction, a 12-week experiment was carried out to compare the effects of the proposed innovative teaching method with the traditional teaching method of Wushu. The results show that: (1) the male college students trained by the innovative method achieved much better body shape, physical function, and physical fitness than those trained by the traditional method, because the latter method does not offer enough exercise volume or classroom training; (2) despite being inferior to the innovative method, the traditional method significantly improved the flexibility in physical fitness; (3) Wushu teaching should combine flexibility and muscle strength, and maintain certain exercise intensity and duration.

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.
