  • Influence of Spectator Density and Stadium Arrangement on Home
    Infl uence of Spectator Density and Stadium Arrangement on Home Games in the J. League Rapid Paper : Football (Soccer) Infl uence of Spectator Density and Stadium Arrangement on Home Games in the J. League Tomoaki Seki* *Nayoro City University Faculty of Health and Welfare. Nishi 4 Kita 8-1 Nayoro, 096-8641 Japan [email protected] [Received June 3, 2010 ; Accepted June 1, 2011] It is widely recognized that sports teams have a “home-team advantage”. Despite its acknowledged importance, there is a lack of research on this phenomenon, specifically in the context of professional sports in Japan. The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of crowd density (the ratio of attendance to seating capacity) and spectator attendance (the total number of spectators attending home games in the current season) on home-team advantage in the J. League. The relationship between crowd density and home- team advantage was examined by an assessment of correlation coeffi cients. The relationship between team performance and stadium usage patterns was also investigated through a series of chi-square tests. Results showed that clubs which primarily use their main stadium for home games do not necessarily have a high crowd density, while other clubs have a higher level of crowd density by using several stadiums. In addition, the results indicate that crowd density has a weak effect on the home-team advantage. Based on the study findings, the fi ndings, managerial implications and directions for future research are discussed. Keywords: J. League, spectator density, stadium arrangement, home-team advantage [Football Science Vol.8, 16-25, 2011] 1.

  • Comparative Study on Football Professionalism Development Histories in China and Japan
    International Journal of Sports and Physical Education (IJSPE) Volume 3, Issue 3, 2017, PP 35-46 ISSN 2454-6380 http://dx.doi.org/10.20431/2454-6380.0303005 www.arcjournals.org Comparative Study on Football Professionalism Development Histories in China and Japan Lin Xiaofei, Yin Guochang Institute of Physical Education, Jiangxi Normal University, Nanchang 330022, Jiangxi, China Abstract: Football Professionalism is an indispensable means to boost the football development in a country. Football professionalism reform implemented by China in the 1990s had a profound impact on the growth of Chinese football. As China’s close neighbor separated by a strip of water, Japan also implemented football professionalism reform in the 1990s. However, over the past two decades of implementing football professionalism in both two countries, a tremendous gap has arisen between the two countries’ football competitive levels. Up to today, the competitive level of Japanese football has ascended to the top in Asia, while China is still hanging around at the bottom. As for the same football professionalism reform, how could the disparity be so huge. In essence, there must be inherent causes. Therefore, in this paper, a wide range of research methods such as literature review methods, data comparison and analysis methods are employed to analyze, compare and study the football professionalism development histories both in China and Japan. Various problems existing in the development process of Chinese football professionalism are identified, hoping to provide some guidance and theoretical reference for the smooth development of Chinese football professionalism in future. Keywords: Football Professionalism Reform; Development History; Football System 1.
