The distance between theoretical and practical leisure activities influenced life satisfaction
Abstrct
Recreational activities have acquired the favor and interest of college students and are now essential for their physical and mental well-being. Most activities, including leisure activities, share theoretical and practical elements. This research aims to evaluate a conceptual model about the relationship between leisure attitudes, theoretical and practical leisure, and life satisfaction, as well as to investigate the determinants of life satisfaction. Nine hundred ninety-eight students were sampled and questioned using the "Leisure Values Questionnaire," "Leisure Attitude and Expenses Questionnaire," and "life satisfaction Questionnaire." The outcomes of the primary data were evaluated using a quantitative research strategy based on association and aggressive analysis. The results indicated that the more their preference for leisure activities, the greater their life satisfaction. Those who spend more money and time on leisure activities report greater life satisfaction. Practical leisure was more strongly connected with life satisfaction than theoretical leisure. The predictor for the affective component of life satisfaction was theoretical leisure, while practical leisure was positively associated with the experience component. Meanwhile, positive affect and experience were positively associated with life satisfaction. The study emphasizes the significance of developing a positive attitude toward leisure to increase life satisfaction, supports the significance of leisure favor and practical leisure in achieving life satisfaction, and is helpful for detailed theoretical interpretation and policymakers who develop leisure programs to increase public life satisfaction.

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.
