Kinematic and fMRI Data for Motor Strategy Adaptation Using Function-Specific rTMS

This dataset contains kinematic and neuroimaging data from 46 healthy right-handed adult participants who underwent a 7-day backward glide shot put training intervention. All participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: a function-specific repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) group (n = 16), a motor hotspot rTMS group (n = 15), or a control group without rTMS (n = 15). All groups received standardized daily training, including motor imagery and physical shot put practice.The kinematic data were obtained from high-speed video recordings of training sessions before and after the intervention. Ten key joint angles across five critical technical phases (backswing, glide, transition, buffering, and release) were extracted using Kinovea software, following a standardized anatomical labeling protocol. Neuroimaging data include resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) acquired before and after the intervention using a 3T MRI scanner. Users are required to remove the first 10 time points before analyzing the resting-state fMRI data.The dataset includes the following files:rest-fMRI.zip: resting-state functional MRI data for each participant at baseline and post-intervention;Spatial Kinematic Characteristics.xls: joint angle data for each participant;Target.docx: rTMS targets for each participant.
