87 children aged 8 to 10 years participated in a study comparing motor performance between those enrolled in rhythmic gymnastics, handball, or indoor soccer and those attending only physical education classes. The data were analyzed using inferential statistics, including the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests. The study, authored by Patrik Felipe Nazário, concluded that the sport context influences the level of motor performance and specific motor skills.
Use Cases
- Comparing motor performance scores between children in structured sports and standard physical education based on the study's group comparisons.
- Building a statistical model to classify children's participation in sports disciplines based on motor skill assessments.
- Analyzing the influence of specific sports (rhythmic gymnastics, handball, indoor soccer) on the development of related motor skills.
Strengths
- Data from 87 children provides a basis for group comparisons.
- Analysis used inferential statistics (Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney U) with a defined significance level of α=0.05.
- The statistical model correctly classified 79.3% of participants regarding sports involvement.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
