Background: Physical activity is positively related to motor abilities. Especially in childhood, an active lifestyle is important to support healthy motor development. The low-threshold health promotion programme "Join the Healthy Boat" in kindergartens promotes physical activity in order to also improve motor abilities. Here, effects of the programme on children's motor abilities after 1 year were investigated. Materials and Methods: The longitudinal study included 419 children (3.7 ± 0.6 years) from 58 kindergartens throughout southwest Germany (intervention: 254, control: 165). Children in the intervention group received physical activity promotion with a focus on motor ability development, led by teachers, through one kindergarten year; children in the control group followed the normal kindergarten routine. At baseline and follow-up, motor tests (3-min-run, one-leg-stand, standing long jump, sit-and-reach-test) were performed, anthropometric measures (body weight and height) were taken and a parental questionnaire was issued. Intervention effects were assessed using differential measures (follow-up-baseline) adjusted for gender, age, socioeconomic status (SES) and baseline values, with covariance analyses. Results: Children in the intervention group showed a significant improvement in endurance performance (F (1.329) = 20.95, p < 0.000, η 2 P = 0.060), which applies to boys F (1, 172) = 13, 66, p ≤ 0.000, η 2 P = 0, 074 and girls F (1, 152) = 7, 48, p ≤ 0.007, η 2 P = 0, 047. No significant intervention effects on endurance performance were found for children with low baseline values, children with a low SES, and children aged 5 years, nor for any other assessed motor ability. Conclusions: The theory-based, teacher-centered intervention promoting physical activity in order to also improve motor abilities has shown a positive effect on endurance performance in kindergarten children, but no other motor ability. Future interventions should therefore be either longer, more intense and take into account children's age, initial level of performance and their SES. In addition, the influence of teachers should be considered more closely in future research.

“…In the process of my country's rapid transformation from the traditional economic development model, labor from rural areas has gradually poured into big cities, and most of them are in the family model, bringing young children to the city. According to the data of the sixth national census, in the previous 10 years, the floating population in the city increased greatly, compared with the fifth national census, and there is a very obvious growth trend [3,4]. erefore, migrant children have become a huge group in the city [5,6].…”

With the rapid development of internet technology, the amount of data generated is also increasing day by day. As a kind of distributed computing, cloud computing has been widely used in the analysis of massive data. With the development of China’s economic construction, the integration of urban and rural areas is constantly improving, and the migrant children in the city are also focused on. After moving into the city, migrant children not only face the pressure from the society but also face the pressure from life, which inevitably affects the physical and mental health of urban migrant children. The education of urban migrant children is also a focus that needs attention. How to integrate into the education environment of urbanization and adjust the learning pressure in the process of education is also worthy of our attention. Therefore, this article analyzes the current status of urban migrant children’s mental health based on cloud computing and data mining algorithm models. Based on the current research status of urban migrant children and the standards of mental health, this paper conducts a survey of middle and high school students in a certain city through questionnaires, then builds a data mining algorithm model to analyze the survey data, and explores the differences in the grades of students’ social identity and the differences in mental health between migrant children and urban children. According to the survey, most of the psychological performances of urban migrant children are very vague. At the same time, there are also some phenomena such as poor adaptability, bad mood, and inferiority complex. During the study period, there are situations such as unwilling to communicate with others, weariness, sensitivity, anxiety, and hostility. The overall incidence of the situation is relatively high in big cities, while the situation of urban children is relatively small.
