Data Sheet 1_Comparative effects of physical education interventions on motor ability and

Xinyue Zhang's dataset contains results from a 12-week cluster randomized controlled trial comparing three physical education interventions. The study involved 62 junior high school students and measured outcomes for motor ability and executive function. The data was uploaded to figshare in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Compare intervention effects on motor ability based on the three physical education types described.
• Analyze relationships between physical fitness components and executive function domains like working memory.
• Model the impact of interdisciplinary sports activities on cognitive flexibility gains.
• Assess correlations between motor cognition and inhibitory control as suggested by the study results.

Strengths

• Data originates from a controlled trial with a pre-post design and three intervention groups.
• Study employed specific assessments for physical fitness, motor skill, and executive function.
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is small (170.2 KB), indicating limited scope.
