    1.Description of the methodology used to generate the dataset. The data were analysed using non-parametric statistical tests because they did not conform to a normal distribution. For this purpose, the Kolmogorov–Smirnov normality test was used. A bivariate correlation was performed using Spearman’s Rho test between the different constructs and factors that made up the SCQ-S tool in the sample under study. Likewise, using the chi-square test, we attempted to determine the relationship between the different nominal categorical variables added to the tool. Independent samples mean analysis was also performed using the Mann–Whitney U-test when the number of groups was 2 and the Kruskal–Wallis test when the number of groups was greater than 2. In addition, exploratory factor analysis was performed using principal axis factoring and Vari-max rotation based on a fixed number of 9 factors to be extracted, determined by a previous thorough literature review. The adequacy of the sample and the reliability of the factor models were assessed using Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin and Cronbach’s alpha. Descriptive data on means and standard deviations of the numerical variables included in the study were also obtained. 2. Software or tools needed to interpret the data. [Include the version of the software. If specific software with restricted access is required, explain how to obtain it. Assess whether it is possible to change the dataset to an open format (recommended)]. Data analysis was carried out with Statistical Package for Social Science® software, version 28 (SPSS®, Chicago, IL, USA). 3. Procedures followed for data quality assurance. The level of statistical significance was p < 0.05. For those cases where significance was obtained, effect size and statistical power were analysed using G*Power 3.1.9.7.

    Abstract: University students will play an important role in making decisions that will affect the environment, as future leaders of our society. Their level of sensitivity and environmental knowledge will play an important role in adequately facing future challenges. This article aims to measure the sustainability awareness of a sample of future graduates in Physical Activity and Sport Sciences in Spain. The literature supports that the sensitivity of these students can be estimated by using the Spanish adaptation of the SCQ-S. This allows for establishing the level of knowledge, attitudes and behaviour pertaining to sustainability in three dimensions: environmental, social and economic. The sample consisted of 170 students (58.8% males; 41.2% females) with a mean age of 20.5 years (±4.039). The overall Cronbach’s alpha showed a fairly good value (α = 0.836). The same was true for the Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin test values (KMO = 0.816) and Bartlett’s sphericity test (p < 0.001). The knowledge construct (4.56 ± 0.53) was the highest descriptive, followed by attitude (4.12 ± 0.59). The lowest value was behaviour (3.79 ± 0.66). By gender, girls obtained the highest sensitivity indexes. In addition, the place of habitual residence and physical activity in the natural environment were related to the overall behaviour of the university students. It is concluded that being in active contact with the natural environment allows us to have a higher level of awareness.
