A Longitudinal Dataset of Physical Fitness and Dormitory Accommodation Records from Students at a Chinese Comprehensive University (2015-2025)

The Physical Health and Accommodation Fusion Dataset (PHF) is a longitudinal dataset that merges physical fitness test records with dormitory accommodation data from a Chinese comprehensive university in Yantai, Shandong Province. Dataset Overview:- 149,400 fitness test records from 60,166 unique students- Time span: 2015-2025 (11 years)- 81.8% of students have multi-year records (mean 2.48 observations)- 137,469 records (92.0%) with dormitory accommodation data- 7,395 unique dormitory rooms across 3 campuses- 50 variables: demographics (7), physical measurements (4), fitness raw scores (8), standardised scores and grades (19), test year (1), and dormitory accommodation (11)Key Features:- Nine fitness measurements across eight test components: height, weight, BMI (derived), vital capacity, 50m sprint, standing long jump, sit-and-reach, endurance run (800m/1000m), and muscular endurance (sit-ups/pull-ups)- Standardised scores based on the National Student Physical Health Standard (NSPHS 2014)- Detailed dormitory assignments: campus, zone, building, unit, floor, room, bed- Dual-criterion outlier flags applied during QC; cleaned dataset retains only valid measurementsMissingness Patterns:- Raw fitness measurements: ~96-97% complete (all years)- Standardised scores: 72-75% (2020-2025 only; institution did not calculate 2015-2019)- Endurance run raw timing data: 2015-2022 (400m track); alternative assessment 2023-2025 (not directly comparable)- Dormitory data: 92.0% (coverage varies by enrolment cohort; >94% for 2017-2025 cohorts)Quality Control:- Dual-criterion outlier detection (reasonable range + 3xIQR)- Little's MCAR test (chi-square = 188,145, df = 50, p < 0.001)- Zero sex-consistency violations- BMI recalculation correlation r = 1.00 with reported valuesLicences:- Dataset and documentation: CC BY 4.0- Code (Python scripts): MIT LicenseRelated Publication:A companion research article examining peer effects of dormitory roommates on physical fitness is under consideration at Humanities and Social Sciences Communications (HSSC, Springer Nature).Contact:Corresponding author: Jianfeng Hu ([e-mail])College of Physical Education and Health, Yantai Institute of Science and Technology
