Project Duration: May 2014 – April 2016

Data on motor performance have been collected in a wide range of projects for decades, both nationally and internationally; however, the current state of research is characterized by inconsistent and, in some cases, contradictory results. Furthermore, much of the collected data is never published and thus remains inaccessible to interested research groups.

The target of this DFG-funded project is to consolidate all available data on motor performance within an eResearch infrastructure and make it accessible to the general public. Furthermore, within the framework of MO|RE data, comprehensive normative data will be generated and materials on sports motor tests will be published. The focus is on data from the German Motor Skills Test 6–18 (Deutscher Motorik-Test 6–18) as well as other selected standardized test tasks that are widely used. MO|RE data is intended to be accessible free of charge to scientists, practitioners (trainers, teachers, physicians), and the interested public. MO|RE data is intended to be a web-based application whose research data can be exported and reused as citable and internationally validated data. This is intended to create incentives to share one’s own research data and to conduct further research using citable data in order to improve and expand the dataset.
