碩士 === 國立臺灣體育運動大學 === 體育研究所 === 105 === The purpose of this study was to investigate the difference of agility ability between the different practice seniority of dragon dance, and to correlate estimates of the variables of 20 second stamping with the test of side step. The voluntary participants were 18 elite dragon dance athletes. Their mean age, body height, body mass, and training age were 20.0 ± 3.2 years old, 170.9 ± 5.5 cm, 66.5 ± 7.7 kg, and 5.9 ± 2.3 years, respectively. Each participant was asked to perform side step for 20 seconds and also to perform stamping on two Kistler force platforms (9260AA6, 1000 Hz) for 20 second by the process of Measurement, Analysis and Reporting Software (MARS). Correlations were determined using Pearson’s r and differences between practice seniority were determined using dependent t test (α = .05). The results showed the performance of side step in old seniority was better than youth significantly, but there were no statistical significant in mean frequency, initial frequency, middle frequency, final frequency, endurance index, and fatigue index of stamping. However, the test of side step could explain the mean frequency and the final frequency of stamping for 39.8% and 30.1%, respectively. The issue that stamping test in MARS could not discriminate the practice seniority of dragon dance was the future verification.
