Study On Influencing Factors In North Lion Dance On Cooperation Between Head And Tail Of The Lion

Since the Chinese Dragon Lion Sports Association was formally established in 1995, lion dance sport gradually became a competitive sport item. Under the current circumstances, the lion dance sport grows faster and stronger thanks to the continuous inburst of the Western athletic projects and protection as well as promotion to our traditional culture. Regarding its development, training methods become increasingly reasonable and advanced; technical actions become more complex, which consequently ask for a higher and higher corresponding physical quality of the athletes. Under this background, it seems much difficult for athletes to have a great improvement of their major projects’skills and their personal qualities. Therefore it is especially pivotal to enhance the cooperating capability between athletes on both head and stern part of the Lion. And it is a requirement of the theory construction for Lion Dance Sport as well as an attempt to upgrade the performance level of the North Lion Dance sport item.In order to discuss the factors structure that affects the cooperating capability in North Lion Dance sport between athletes on both head and stern part of the Lion, research methods including literature, questionnaire, expert interview, logical analysis and mathematical statistics were used in the present research. Research contains three constant studies which are:First, descriptions obtained from the open questionnaire are filtered and concluded within the research. And then in combine with practice of the lion dance an initial questionnaire is made. Afterwards the given out initial questionnaires are taken back the and been made into a formal questionnaire based on a factorial analysis on the retrieving result which is made to get the 4 main factors that affect the cooperating capability in North Lion Dance sport between athletes on both head and stern part of the Lion.Second, a theory model for "factors structure that affects the cooperating capability in North Lion Dance sport between athletes on both head and stern part of the Lion" is built and then data from the previously mentioned questionnaire is acquired. Finally in order to verify the research hypothesis, fit measure between the theory model and the acquired data is examined.Third, variance test is conducted in the current research among athletes with different positons, different ages and also different performances. Afterwards recommendations are made to the training work of the Lion Dance.Conclusions:1. There are 4 main factors that affect the cooperating capability in North Lion Dance sport between athletes on both head and stern part of the Lion. They are physical shape, skills of athletes’major projects, external environment and also personality, among which personality is the most important one.2. he structural equation model constructed on the basis of an analysis on exploratory factors is successfully accordant with the research data. And the questionnaire has both well-deserved reliability and validity.3. Factors of positon have no influence on cooperating capability in North Lion Dance sport between athletes on both head and stern part of the Lion.4. Personalities between both athletes in the North Lion Dance have different effects to their cooperating capabilities with regard to different performances.5. Compared to what on athletes under 20 years old, physical shape and external environment play more serious influences to the cooperating capability in North Lion Dance sport between athletes on both head and stern part of the Lion among athletes over 20 years old.
