Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are university students aged 18–25 in generally good health who can wear a wrist device and complete motor function tests.

Probably not a fit

Individuals with significant cardiovascular disease, motor dysfunction, cognitive impairment, recent severe trauma, or other conditions that preclude safe exercise may not benefit.

What this trial studies

The study will collect kinematic and physiological data from a wrist-worn wearable during standardized movement tasks, along with anthropometrics and health questionnaires, to build a multidimensional model of motor function in college students. It will examine balance, coordination, endurance, and explosive power, and how these relate to lifestyle factors and traditional Chinese medicine constitution. Secondary aims explore associations between motor ability, lifestyle characteristics, and TCM constitution. Data collection will occur at Nanfang Hospital, with participants aged 18–25 who meet eligibility criteria.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the model could enable earlier identification of motor function weaknesses and personalized lifestyle recommendations.

How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown that wearable-derived metrics can complement traditional motor function assessments, but this specific integrated approach with TCM constitution is novel.
