Configurational paths to promoting children's agility and balance quality: based on fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundEarly childhood is a sensitive period for the development of agility and balance quality. Currently, children's agility and balance quality are gradually declining, and the pathways for enhancing these qualities are limited. In light of this, the study adopts a set theory perspective to explore the configurational pathways through which subsystems of gross motor skills can promote children's agility and balance quality.
methodsThis study incorporates test data from 84 children aged 3 to 6 years, employing fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) to examine how configurations of six subsystems within gross motor skills (running, jumping, throwing, catching, kicking, and striking) influence the promotion of children's agility and balance quality.
resultsNecessary condition analysis reveals that individual subsystems of gross motor skills alone cannot determine the promotion of agility and balance quality in children. Further configuration analyses identify two paths for promoting agility quality ( Overall Consistency = 0.889, Overall Coverage = 0.337 ) and two paths for promoting balance quality ( Overall Consistency = 0.875, Overall Coverage = 0.346 ).
conclusionSubsystems of gross motor skills can promote children's balance and agility quality through configurational effects. Specifically, promoting agility quality should primarily involve combined exercises of jumping, running, and catching actions, while promoting balance quality should focus on combined exercises of kicking, jumping, and running actions. Furthermore, prioritizing children's balance quality can support the children's agility quality. These findings offer important practical guidance for promoting children's agility and balance quality.
