Equilíbrio estático e dinâmico em bailarinos: revisão da literatura

Abstract

| Dance involves integration between movement, postural balance and the multiple aspects involved with postural control. Information regarding the balance of ballet dancers is of great importance, as they are considered models of great postural control. The aim was to review studies about static and dynamic postural balance of ballet dancers, characterizing visual dependency in the postural control of these athletes to maintain balance. A review of literature was performed on PubMed, SciELO, Lilacs, and Science Direct databases considering the period between 1997 and 2013, and using the descriptors balance, postural control, force plates ballet dancers, classical ballet dancers and visual afferences. Eighteen articles were considered able to provide the quantitative and qualitative data to assess the balance among those athletes, and were thus, selected. These papers were classified by Oxford level of evidence. The reviewed literature shows full consensus regarding the effect of removing visual information over postural stability according to the experience of subjects considered highly trained dancers. Studies comparing the balance of ballet dancers to other sporting techniques confirmed that they have a specific postural balance pattern. Nevertheless, in association with visual restriction, ballet dancers show a greater center of pressure dislocation and instability compared to other sports, which suggests that they have higher visual dependence to maintain balance. Ballet dancers have better static balance compared to non-trained subjects and other types of athletes, but greater visual dependence to maintain balance.

Neurocognitive aspects of body size estimation - A study of contemporary dancers

“…Therefore, dancers have greater development of dynamic balance compared to practitioners of other body activities and physically inactive individuals. This phenomenon was also observed in studies comparing the evaluation of static and dynamic balance between dancers and non-dancers 3,4,22 In particular, Golomer et al 22 analyzed the interaction between visual restriction and somatosensory disorders on one-leg balance control for dancers and non-dancers. They found that dancers have a superior dynamic balance capacity and less oscillation on one-leg control when compared to individuals who do not practice dance.…”

Estudo comparativo do controle postural entre crianças praticantes e não praticantes de judô

“…Além disso, autores encontraram que o ballet e o judô podem ter impacto significativo no controle postural, considerando que ambos utilizam rotações do corpo em alta velocidade e posições em apoio unipodal, dificultando a permanência do equilíbrio. Assim, a utilização de estratégias sensório-motoras, próprias dessas modalidades, são necessárias para regulação e desenvolvimento do equilíbrio estático e dinâmico 25,26 . Valores expressos em percentuais (%), Teste T para amostras independentes.…”

Balance in Theatrical Dance Performance: A Systematic Review

“…A review by Costa et al 46 , examined static and dynamic balance in ballet dancers but, to our knowledge, no systematic reviews exist on the relationship between balance and dance performance. Therefore, the aim of this systematic review was to investigate the current state of experimental evidence on the relationship between balance and dance performance, including balance testing, balance training, and balance performance.…”
