The paper presents the concept of student engagement in Physical Training classes, which is defined as a set of behavioral and psychological characteristics of students, accompanying their participation in the classes. Ten criteria are emphasized to consider student engagement in such aspects as activity, cognitive, volitional, motivational and evaluative, emotional, social, reflexive background. 119, 644 students aged 16.5 ± 0.7 took part in the study (115, 055 students without special needs in physical education caused by health problems and 4, 589 students with special needs and restrictions in physical activity). The results have shown that, although the students without special needs and those with special needs are significantly different, in general no more than 35.9% respondents attended all the Physical Training classes, only about a half of them are completely satisfied with these classes, and none of them have all the knowledge and skills required by the educational program. Numerous deficiencies in program content, educational environment and teaching methodology hinder student engagement in classes. There is a correlation between satisfaction with classes and the components of student engagement (positive emotional background during the lessons, the attractiveness of the activities performed, the schedule convenience, school sports facilities, etc.). The research revealed factors that influence student engagement and proves that appropriate conditions for Physical Training should be created at school, and activities at the lessons should meet students’ interests and abilities.

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.
