About this study
This study adopts a quasi-experimental design and plans to recruit 94 university students from a university in Jiangsu Province, randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group will receive tennis courses based on the experiential learning model, with one 90-minute class each week. The course content will combine tennis skill training and social interaction activities that promote cooperation. The control group will continue with conventional tennis teaching. The study will include baseline testing, teaching intervention, and post-intervention assessment. The main measurement indicators will include prosocial behavior and physical fitness. Prosocial behavior will be evaluated using the PABSS Chinese version questionnaire, which includes aspects such as prosocial behavior toward teammates and opponents, antisocial behavior, and teamwork spirit. Physical fitness will be assessed using the physical fitness test and the CAPL-2 Chinese version questionnaire. Independent samples t-test, paired samples t-test, two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) will be used to analyze the differences in prosocial behavior and physical fitness between the experimental and control groups.

experiential learning modelBehavioural
The intervention in this study consists of a tennis course based on the experiential learning model, with one 90-minute class per week. The course includes tennis skill training and social interaction activities that promote cooperation. Compared to conventional physical education courses, this course focuses on enhancing students' collectivism and social responsibility through cooperation and competition in sports.
