    The purpose of this research was to analyze the emotional state of physical education (PE) teachers in northern Mexico, from their educational supervisors and pedagogical supervisors (ATPs) perspective during confinement due to COVID-19. This was a descriptive and cross-sectional study with a qualitative approach of a phenomenological focus, three district supervisors and four technical-pedagogical advisers of Physical Education participated. Data collection was through focus groups and the analysis was collaborative and deductive-inductive from the perspective of subjective well-being. The main findings indicated that the teachers' emotional state influenced their professional performance. Two emotional states were identified: a) positive, related to happiness and enjoyment, due to the peacefulness of working from the comfort and safety of home; and b) negative, associated with stress and depression due to factors such as the death of relatives, friends and colleagues, and lack of contact with students. It was concluded that teachers' emotional state depends on their resilience or lack thereof; and educational authorities must develop strategies to support teachers' emotional care.

    The effect of sport consumption on citizens national pride and subjective well-being
    (Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2024) Silva, Alfredo
    The objective of this study was to disentangle the relationships that exist between sporting success, sports consumption (i.e., sport participation, sport spectating and sport media viewing), national pride and subjective well-being. Data was collected from 374 respondents. Structural Equation Modelling was used to analyse the variables that were measured in accordance with previous studies. The model which centred on sports consumption showed a great explanatory capacity (73% and 43%). Sport participation was the factor with the highest impact on national pride and subjective well-being, even greater than the effects of sporting success and sport spectating. Another reason for the importance of citizens being physically active was noted. These results have managerial implications for sports policymakers and managers responsible for national teams and sport participation programmes. No evidence was found that higher levels of national pride directly affect subjective well-being.
