This paper analyzes the current situation of China's athletic training research in the 20 years since entering the new century from various angles, mainly including the continuous improvement of the item group training theory, the re-examination of the time factor of athletic training, and paying more attention to the combination of competition and education, etc. At the same time, China's athletic training has been analyzed in the development of the new century, which mainly includes the all-round intervention of modern science and technology, the expansion of the theory of athletic training to the theory of competition, the deeper development of the research of athletic training theory, and the humanistic factors will be more important. At the same time, it analyzes the development of athletic training in China in the new century, including the all-round intervention of modern science and technology, the expansion of athletic training theory to competitive sports theory, the deeper development of athletic training theory, and the more emphasis on humanistic factors.

This study seeks to explore the information value of free cash flow (FCF) on corporate sustainability and investigate the moderating effects of board gender diversity and firm size on the association between FCF and corporate sustainability of Thai listed companies. The dataset consists of companies listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) in 2022. Multivariate regression analysis is executed in this study. Subsequently, PROCESS macro served to evaluate the proposed hypotheses. This study found that FCF has a significant positive relationship with corporate sustainability. As well, board gender diversity and firm size both moderate the relationship between FCF and corporate sustainability, such that the positive effect of FCF on corporate sustainability is stronger when the proportion of female boards diminishes, while firm size is smaller. However, when firms have a larger proportion of females on the boards of directors for all levels of firm size, free cash flow indicates that there is no statistically significant effect on corporate sustainability. This study contributes to FCF and sustainability literature by understanding the extent of corporate sustainability.

The consensus is that price stability promotes sustainable economic growth while excessive inflation harms growth. This study assesses the linkage between inflation and economic growth in South Africa to determine the optimal inflation rate threshold for the sustainable growth of the economy. Quarterly data from 1995 to 2022 was analysed through the ARDL and threshold regressions. The ARDL and threshold regressions estimate established a relationship between inflation and economic growth and computed the optimal inflation rate threshold for economic growth at 6 percent. The results also established that both the repo rate (repurchase rate) and real effective exchange rate have a negative relationship with economic growth. The Toda-Yamamoto causality test result indicated a unidirectional causality runs from inflation to economic growth. These results are crucial for the South African Reserve Bank to discharge its monetary policy functions to attain and maintain price stability. Therefore, this study offers the Bank a roadmap for targeting an inflation rate that aligns with the nation’s long-term objectives for sustainable economic growth.

The comprehensiveness, practicality, and intersection of science education major determine the necessity of constructing professional laboratories. This article explores the necessity of constructing a virtual simulation laboratory for science education in the context of the "new humanities", which meets the goals of cultivating new talents, the basic requirements of the new humanities construction, and the high-quality development requirements of higher education. In this context, considerations and prospects have been put forward for the construction of virtual laboratories, building virtual simulation laboratories that are in line with the new liberal arts background, modernization, and subject characteristics.
