We study on-shell decays of light vector meson resonances ρ, K* and ϕ in the framework of chiral constituent quark model using resummation calculations. Such studies are necessary for showing that dynamics described by chiral Lagrangian works well at this energy scale. The effective action is derived by a proper vertex method, where resummation of all orders of momentum expansion is accomplished. Also studied are the loop effects of pseudoscalar meson, which play an important role at this energy scale. The numerical results agree well with the experimental data. A new method to explore the chiral symmetry spontaneously breaking (CSSB) is proposed. It is found that the unitarity of the effective meson theory resulted from resummation derivations demands an upper-limit to the momentum of vector meson. This upper-limit, being critical point, is just the energy scale of CSSB, and is found to be flavor-dependent.
