Dataset language: Spanish 2. Abstract: Background: Service-learning combines academic content with practical experiences, promoting engagement and community benefit. In sports science, it offers a platform for applying theoretical knowledge in real-world teaching scenarios. However, challenges exist in effectively communicating complex concepts like biomechanics to younger students. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the perceptions of high school students (learners) and university students (teachers) in a service-learning context focused on biomechanics. Methods: Conducted within a biomechanics course at the University of Seville, the study involved five sport science students teaching biomechanics concepts to five high school students. The intervention included four sessions that combined theoretical instruction with practical application, culminating in a conference presentation. Perceptions were assessed using a validated rubric evaluating basic, pedagogical, and organizational dimensions, and reliability of self-assessment in performance was calculated. Results: Both high school and university students reported high satisfaction across assessed domains, with average scores exceeding 3 out of 4 points. High school students demonstrated reliable self-assessment in biomechanical tasks, indicating successful knowledge retention and application. Conclusions: This study supports service-learning as an effective pedagogical strategy in biomechanics education, fostering positive perceptions and meaningful learning for both educational levels. The findings highlight the benefits of active teaching approaches in enhancing understanding of complex subjects and establishing beneficial connections between university and high school students. 3.

Description of the methods used to collect and generate the data: This study was conducted as part of the "Biomechanics of Physical Activity and Sport" subject within the Sport Science degree program at the University of Seville. The study employed a service-learning methodology, where Sport Science students assumed the role of teachers, instructing high school students on biomechanical principles related to jumping, strength, and speed. The high school students used technological tools to assess their own performance, integrating theoretical concepts into practical sessions. Data were collected through a validated rubric (Serrano et al., 2015) that assessed basic, pedagogical, and organizational dimensions of the process. In addition, the reliability of the students' performance in biomechanical tests was assessed by conducting each test twice and evaluating consistency. 2. Data processing methods: The data were processed by calculating descriptive statistics (mean ± standard deviation) for both the high school and Sport Science students. The reliability of the biomechanical tests (jumping, strength, and speed) was assessed using coefficient of variation (CV), intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC (2,1)), and Cronbach’s α. These metrics were used to determine the consistency and reliability of the high school students' self-assessed performance. The validated rubric provided additional quantitative data on the students' perceptions, which were analyzed across basic, pedagogical, and organizational dimensions. 3. Software or instruments needed to interpret the data: Jamovi software (Version 2.3.18) was used for statistical analysis, including reliability testing (Cronbach’s α, ICC, and CV). Excel (Microsoft) may be required to open and organize the data files. Technological tools used by the high school students to measure biomechanical performance in jumping, strength, and speed.
