Acute Effects of Resistance Training Intensity on Creative Thinking in University Students

A dataset from a within-subjects study of 30 university students assessing creative performance after resistance training at three intensities. Creative performance was measured using the Alternate Uses Test (AUT), scoring fluency, flexibility, and novelty. The data was published by Jun Zhou on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the relationship between exercise intensity and creative fluency based on AUT scores
• Comparing the effects of low, moderate, and high-intensity resistance training on cognitive flexibility
• Investigating the optimal exercise load for enhancing post-exercise novelty in creative thinking

Strengths

• Data is from a controlled within-subjects design with 30 participants.
• Creative performance is measured using a standardized test (Alternate Uses Test) with three distinct indicators.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
