Motor Competence and Physical Activity in Chinese Children

A 32.8 KB dataset from a 2026 study by Xuanxi Li, examining the joint relationship between actual motor competence (AMC), perceived motor competence (PMC), and physical activity (PA) among Chinese children. The analysis employs polynomial regression with response surface analysis to explore congruence and incongruence effects between AMC and PMC.

Use Cases

• Analyze the interaction between actual motor competence (AMC) and perceived motor competence (PMC) features on physical activity (PA) levels.
• Investigate sex-specific patterns in the AMC-PMC-PA relationship using the study's demographic and measurement data.
• Apply polynomial regression with response surface analysis techniques to the provided AMC, PMC, and PA variables.
• Examine the effects of congruence versus incongruence between AMC and PMC scores on reported physical activity outcomes.

Strengths

• Dataset is recent, last updated in April 2026.
• Employs a specific advanced statistical method (polynomial regression with response surface analysis).
• Focuses on an understudied non-Western cultural context (Chinese children).

Limitations

• Dataset is very small at 32.8 KB, indicating a limited sample size.
• Specific row count, column names, and sample data are unavailable for assessment.
• Geographic scope is limited to a single country (China), which may limit generalizability.
