Effectiveness of a Physical Activity Intervention for Primary School Students in China

A quasi-experimental study of 515 fifth-grade students (10–11 years) from a public primary school in Guangdong, China, conducted over one academic year. The dataset likely contains pre- and post-intervention measurements of physical activity and exercise cognition for intervention and control groups. It was authored by Lin Kong and published on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Evaluating the impact of family-school-community collaborative interventions on exercise cognition based on EBBS-CN survey results.
• Analyzing associations between physical activity levels and perceived exercise benefits using PAQ-CN and EBBS-CN data.
• Comparing intervention effects between groups on specific outcomes like perceived exercise barriers.
• Studying the effectiveness of multi-contextual physical activity promotion strategies in a primary school setting.

Strengths

• Dataset is based on a study with 515 participants, providing a substantial sample size.
• Includes both intervention (n=255) and control (n=260) groups for comparative analysis.
• Measures multiple outcomes: physical activity (PAQ-CN) and exercise cognition (EBBS-CN benefits/barriers).
• Statistical results, including effect sizes (Hedges' g) and confidence intervals, are reported in the description.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is from a single-school, quasi-experimental study, which may limit generalizability.
