Designing of Choreography Training Program for Wushu Daoshu

Abstract

Background and Aims: Regarding the choreography of Wushu routines, the Chinese Wushu Association's "Basic Explanation of Wushu Routines" points out that, with the development of society, people's values and functions of Wushu are changing. Each Wushu action is linked together to form a dynamic and continuous picture, which shows its fascinating charm and high aesthetic and ornamental value. The purpose of this study was to design and choreograph Wushu movements for Wushu Daoshu competitions. Methodology: This study was quasi-experimental method. The samples included 30 Wushu school senior class students, 9 Wushu routine experts, and 9 Wushu judges. Through expert interviews, simulated competition, and practice, the routine movements of the top 16 athletes in the 2021 National Wushu Routine Championship were analyzed, and then the Wushu movement arrangement and training plan of the Wushu Daoshu competition were designed, with an IOC value of 0.74. To confirm the efficiency of the Wushu choreography, the training experiment will be conducted with the students, and a simulated competition of Wushu Daoshu will be conducted with the students before and after the experiment. The results of the scores before and after the experiment will then be compared to determine the effectiveness of the designed Wushu movement choreography through a t-test. Results: Wushu Daoshu set arrangement can be divided into three main parts: (1) the basic Daoshu skills must be selected (2) a set of technical combinations of movements (3) jumping difficulty movements, which set of technical combinations of movements is an important basis for the arrangement of the set. The results of the designed Wushu movement choreography in the Wushu Daoshu program were scored by a Wushu referee and compared between the pre-and post-trial scores, and the results showed that the training of the researcher's designed Wushu movement choreography in the Wushu Daoshu program was effective in obtaining higher scores in Wushu Daoshu program competitions. Conclusion: The average score gap between the two groups is more obvious. The Wushu movement choreography in the Wushu Daoshu competition designed by the researchers is effective, and it can achieve higher results in the Wushu Daoshu competition.
