Addressing physical skills and mental health: the role of modern teaching approaches in non-athlete university PE programs.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Non-athlete university students often face limitations in developing physical skills due to traditional physical education (PE) teaching methods. Additionally, mental health issues like depression and anxiety are common among this group, and physical inactivity may worsen these problems, leading to chronic conditions such as cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. This research seeks to assess the effects of various PE teaching strategies on physical skill development and mental health outcomes, including depression and anxiety, among non-athlete University students in Henan Province. Methods: A hybrid method approach was employed, involving a stratified random sample of 220 students (116 male, 104 female, mean age, 20) and 16 physical education professors. Quantitative data were collected using a validated 35-item questionnaire (Cronbach's Results: The study found a 22% improvement in physical skill competence and reductions in mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression. In contrast, traditional direct instructions yielded minimal impact. Institutional challenges, including large class sizes and obsolete facilities, hindered optimal implementation. Conclusion: This study highlights the efficacy of Student-centered teaching strategies in both enhancing physical skills and mental health outcomes among non-athlete students. It underscores the need to address institutional limitations for more effective (PE) programs and chronic disease prevention.
