APAS Mechanical Analysis of The Difference of The Lion Tail “180° Leap Directly Standing Leg” Movement of College Students with Different Training Levels
This study aimed to analyze the key position movement differences among Northern Lion athletes withvarying training levels during the “Northern Lion 180° leap and direct leg stand on a high platform” action, in orderto guide the athletes in improving their movements and enhance the completion rate of the action. Method: TwoNorthern Lion tail athletes from a university, with training durations of 5 years and 1.5 years respectively, wereselected for the study. Their movements were filmed using a high-speed camera, capturing the “Northern Lion 180°leap and direct leg stand on a high platform” action. The APAS 3D motion analysis system was used to digitallyanalyze the videos, and SPSS software was employed for an independent samples t-test to derive the results. Results:(1) There were very significant differences in the center of gravity coordinates among Northern Lion athletes withdifferent training levels (p<0.01). Athletes with higher training levels had a lower and more backward center ofgravity; (2) The findings at the shoulder and hip joints were consistent with those of the center of gravity (p<0.01); (3) The knee joint angle of the high-level Lion tail was significantly greater than that of the low-level (p<0.01).Conclusion: Whether through visual observation or digital analysis, the differences in training levels are very evidentin the movements.
