Pre-professional and professional male dancers hold generally negative beliefs around the low back and low back pain. However, male dancers beliefs around dance-specific movements are often positive and, largely, unrelated to the presence of low back pain.

The findings validated the existence of 4 distinct reconstructed identities associated with time distance from injury. These identities can assist in detecting injured dancers needing help, tailoring counseling methods and tracking rehabilitation. https://t.co/D4O8SZG8SJ
University dance students wearing the Backalast® jacket, augmented with elastic bands, showed more accurate trunk pelvic joint angle reproduction after sensory diminished trunk movements compared to an elastic control top. https://t.co/tdAjBgP3i8
The run approach produced improved grand jeté distances than other approaches and appears best for float through the air. Plié angles for the assemble’s 2-legged take off are larger than the single-legged take offs from the run, chasse, chaine, and step step approaches.
Low body fat percentage (PBF) in female elite adolescent dancers is associated with menstrual disorders, emphasizing the importance of monitoring PBF in this population. https://t.co/qfn3oJHJU7
Adolescent Pre-Professional Ballet Dancers in Australia require additional support to report, prevent, and manage their dance-related injuries. Health professionals should increase their dance literacy to improve quality of care and enhance rehabilitation. https://t.co/sUJaMTIm7o
Research exploring dance specific fitness tests suggest that the DAFT and the HIDT can be used to determine whether a dancer is fit to perform with the DAFT being the preferred test to monitor both aerobic and anaerobic fitness. https://t.co/4R5hTRnmz5
Dancers’ blood lactate and heart rate responses were similar across time in both active and passive recovery, with HR being higher in AR. Kathak dancers therefore can choose either AR or PR as their recovery mode based on their individual preferences. https://t.co/lUU1RZ0lXg
Studies examining the effect of pointe shoes on dancers are heterogenous in their aims, outcome, measures and methods. Knowledge gaps exist regarding functional/performance outcomes and injury outcomes (e.g. shoe age/usage and shoe treatment factors)

Flexibility athletes successfully regained range of motion, including external rotation/turnout, 1-year after periacetabular osteotomy for the treatment of symptomatic hip dysplasia. Read more here: https://t.co/8uUD7W9RPP
Professional ballet dancers exhibit less posterior inclination during the end phase of pirouettes and finish turns without jumping in comparison to experienced amateur dancers. Read more here: https://t.co/wpwHMKRDiu
Research on strength training perceptions among circus and dance students suggests a shift in perceptions, with a mostly positive perception of strength training, and a desire to receive guidance in this area. Read more here: https://t.co/jl18b1EYFi
Young professional ballet dancers have different gait patterns, but similar dynamic gait stability compared to non-dancers when walking. Ballet dancers take longer and narrower steps but walk faster and with higher cadence. Read more here: https://t.co/VHg81mAnhS
Research on Hungarian female dancers found this population experienced high perceived levels of stress in their everyday lives and suffered from acute musculoskeletal complaints. Read more here: https://t.co/LVPAH2iove
