The present paper attempts to account for temptation of quit excercise of dance sports participant. purpose of this study is to find out the relationship among the Partner Violence experiences of dance sports participant, their temptation of quit excercise, their embarrassment and desire of accomplishment. The results of this study are as follows; First, there are differences in temptation of quit exercise according to personal characteristics. Second, after the analysis of the original structural model proposed in order to explain temptation of quit exercise of dan sports participants, it was found out that the modified model eliminating inappropriate factors, such as results which is a measurement variable of temptation of quit exercise. Third, in the following order, these factors had more relative influences on temptation of quit exercise of dance sports participants. Based on the above explanation, it was found out that partner violence experiences, embarrassment, and desire of accomplishment had direct causality with the temptation of quit exercise. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent and react appropriately to the possible violence of partner in order to lower the temptation of quit exercise of dance sports participants. Also, it is required for coaches and administers to make active and consistent efforts ro improve positive desire of accomplishment.

Objective: The aims of this study were 1) to develop easy-to-use rhythmic balance training equipment for the elderly and 2) to investigate the effect of training with the equipment on balance and physical function. Method: Twenty-one elderly individuals (age: $75.4{\pm}3.34yrs$, height: $152.07{\pm}4.81cm$, weight: $58.35{\pm}8.34kg$) participated in this study. Each participant underwent balance and physical function testing before and after 12 weeks of training with the equipment. Y-balance (i.e. dynamic balance) and one leg static balance tests were used for balance testing, and timed up- and-down-stairs and five times sit-to-stand tests were used for physical function testing. A paired t test was used to determine whether there was a significant pre- and post-training difference. Results: The rhythmic balance training equipment provided a fun and motivating training program with age-friendly music, dance movements for lower extremity strength training, and touch screen controls with simple features. Post-training left foot dynamic balance was significantly greater (p<.05), and static balance with eyes open was significantly improved (p<.05) compared to pre-training. Completion of the timed up-and-down-stairs and the five times sit-to-stand tests was significantly shorter (p<.05) compared to pre-training. Conclusion: Training using the equipment developed in this study improved balance and physical function in elderly participants.

The matching score evaluating human copying ability can be a good measure to check children's developmental stages, or sports movements like golf swing and dance, etc. It also can be used as HCI for AR, VR applications. This paper presents a method to evaluate the motion similarity between demonstrator who initiates movement and participant who follows the demonstrator action. We present a quantification method of the similarity which utilizes Euclidean L2 distance of Openpose keypoins vector similarity. The proposed method adapts DTW, thus can flexibly cope with the time delayed motions.

The purpose of this study was to discuss how college students who participated in a liberal dancesports class were to relieve stress and academic performance was affected. The participants was conducted on eight college students who took part in a liberal dancesports class. The data was collected via in-depth interviews and participant observation from $19^{th}$ April to $20^{th}$ August 2012. The interviews was flexible, lasting between one and two hours. The results are as follows: First, the students were motivated to take the classes because they were fun and joy, inspiration from the mass media, and the encouragement of fellow participants. Second, the students enjoyed dancing together in a spirited and energetic manner. Third, the students stated that major causes of stress were over gaining suitable employment, long distance commuting and tuition fees ets. While this study has provided positive conclusions, it is suggested that any future research in this field should target male and female students from a variety of geographical regions with a wide range of concerns and interests.
