Objective: The objective of this study is to examine the relationship between physical exercise, mental health and general self-efficiency among college students

Method: The random sampling method is used to select undergraduates from colleges, wherein the study uses the physical exercise rating scale (PARS- -3), the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) and the Symptom Self-Rating Scale (SCL-90) to survey 366 college students, and use descriptive statistics, t-test, analysis of variance to analyze resulting data.

Results: The amount of physical exercise reported by men is higher than that of women (t=3.95), the amount of physical exercise of urban students is higher than that of rural students (t=2.96); The self-efficacy and mental health of the large exercise group are higher than those of the small exercise group (t = 7.88, 8.26). There is a significant positive correlation between the amount of physical exercise and the level of self-efficacy and mental health (r=0.42, 0.32, 0.36); Self-efficacy plays a partially mediating role vis-a-vis the influence of physical exercise on mental health.

Conclusion: Physical exercise can directly affect the level of mental health, and it can also indirectly affect the level of mental health through self-efficacy. The correlation coefficients of physical exercise amount, body self-esteem and self-efficacy were significantly correlated at 0. 001 level. Body self-esteem and physical exercise had positive predictive effects on self-efficacy

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.
