AB - To investigate the thermal energy storage and release patterns in folk dance  movements, a theoretical model of "thermal energy storage-release" was  constructed and experimentally validated. The model derives key formulas for  the input energy and thermal energy storage based on three core assumptions.  Three parameters, namely the thermal energy storage density, release rate,  and loss coefficient, were defined. The experiments used Mongolian dance  (130-140 beats per minute), Dai dance (50-60 beats per minute), and Tibetan  dance (90-100 beats per minute) dances as samples. Four professional dancers  (aged 22-28, with over eight years of training) participated in this study.  Four professional dancers (two male and two female, aged 22-28 years, with  over eight years of training) participated in the study. Data were collected  using infrared thermal imaging and other equipment, and simulations were  performed simultaneously. The results showed that the root mean square error  between the experimental and simulation data for the three dances was ≤3.1%  (minimum 2.1% for Mongolian dance during the movement phase), the deviation  in peak trunk temperature was ≤0.2°C, and the deviation in thermal energy  storage during the movement phase was ≤5 J. The model effectively reproduces  variations in dance thermal energy, providing theoretical support for energy  regulation in ethnic dance movements.
