Chinese High School Physical Education Intervention Study Data

A quasi-experimental dataset from a study of 196 Grade 11 students in Chongqing, China, assessing the impact of elective physical education on core competencies. The data includes pre- and post-test measurements of self-reported athletic ability, health behaviors, and sport morals domains. Results indicate small differential gains favoring the elective physical education intervention group.

Use Cases

• Analyze intervention effects on athletic ability, health behaviors, and sport morals scores using repeated-measures ANOVA
• Compare pre-post gains in overall CCPE scores between elective and conventional physical education groups
• Model the association between educational intervention type and self-reported competency domains
• Examine baseline equivalence and group-level allocation effects on student outcomes

Strengths

• Data from a controlled quasi-experimental study with 196 participants
• Measures three specific competency domains: athletic ability, health behaviors, and sport morals
• Clear intervention design comparing elective versus conventional physical education
• Published under a CC BY 4.0 license for reuse

Limitations

• Small sample size of 196 students limits statistical power and generalizability
• Relies solely on self-reported (perceived) competency measures, lacking objective outcomes
• Quasi-experimental design means findings indicate association, not causation, with potential residual confounding
