“…For studies on running, seven studies used force plates or instrumented treadmills with force plates embedded [ 34 , 37 , 44 , 47 , 49 , 57 , 63 ], two used force plates and camera recordings [ 55 , 60 ] and three used camera recordings only [ 38 , 52 , 59 ]. For assessments of landing impacts, force plate data was reported in four studies [ 31 , 33 , 62 , 64 ], force plate and camera recordings were reported in one study [ 32 ] and camera recordings only were reported in one study [ 46 ]. The main reason for adding these measurement technologies was that the studies had a single intervention design, with validation of the data collected from the wearable sensor technologies as part of their main purpose.…”

“…Derie et al [ 37 ] utilized machine learning to predict maximal vertical instantaneous loading rate (VILR) from triaxial accelerometers attached bilaterally to the tibia and concluded that multiple 3D tibial acceleration features gave a more accurate prediction of the VILR than the frequently used axial peak tibial acceleration, which is a single time discrete variable of tibial acceleration. Finally, two studies investigating landing impacts with validation from force plate data were identified, namely after somersault in gymnastics [ 31 ] and in ballet [ 62 ]. Whereas the first mentioned study concluded that external impact forces could not be estimated accurately based on accelerometer data, the second stated strong correlations between impact acceleration and peak vGRF.…”

Shock impacts during activity may cause damage to the joints, muscles, bones, or inner organs. To define thresholds for tolerable impacts, there is a need for methods that can accurately monitor shock impacts in real-life settings. Therefore, the main aim of this scoping review was to present an overview of existing methods for assessments of shock impacts using wearable sensor technology within two domains: sports and occupational settings. Online databases were used to identify papers published in 2010–2020, from which we selected 34 papers that used wearable sensor technology to measure shock impacts. No studies were found on occupational settings. For the sports domain, accelerometry was the dominant type of wearable sensor technology utilized, interpreting peak acceleration as a proxy for impact. Of the included studies, 28 assessed foot strike in running, head impacts in invasion and team sports, or different forms of jump landings or plyometric movements. The included studies revealed a lack of consensus regarding sensor placement and interpretation of the results. Furthermore, the identified high proportion of validation studies support previous concerns that wearable sensors at present are inadequate as a stand-alone method for valid and accurate data on shock impacts in the field.

“…It is also clear from Table (5) that the angles of the foot under study are completely equal during the three stages of performance, and the researcher attributes this to that the shoe used helps the dancer to distribute her mass over the feet evenly, which gives the skill beauty, mastery and fluidity during the performance. In agreement with (Bhakay et al, 2016;) (Almonroeder et al, 2020;Moltubakk et al, 2018) 4/2/2 Discuss the results of the second question:…”

Biomechanics is considered one of the highest and noblest of sciences, (Lee et al., 2012). This science seeks to study the characteristic curve of mathematical skills in particular (Aquino et al., 2019;Jarvis & Kulig, 2020), as dynamic motor performance requires Many special skills and each skill includes a set of performances. The most effective way to improve and develop performance is kinematic analysis, as it requires determining the correct mechanical performance of the skill. (McGinnis, 2011; Payton & Bartlett, n.d., 2018) (Pitkin, n.d.) Ballet is considered a global language and is defined as a theatrical performance in which group and individual dance and movement expression participate with musical or lyrical accompaniment, or with percussion instruments, and by using appropriate clothing, scenes and lighting.As it is considered an integrated art that performs certain movements in a specific place, and the ballet presentation is the fruit of engineering thinking in a spatial space, and the machine that he uses is the body of the dancer himself, and his preservation of balance so that he can be stable in any special position or during movement. (Lin et al., 2005; saleh & ahmed al sabw, 2020a; hany abdelaziz ibrahim Saleh & ahmed al sabw, 2020) the jump is of great importance in the ballet and the student flies in the air to perform a movement with air before landing.The skill Pas Echappe´ is divided into three types:-Echappe´ Sur Les Pointes -Le Petit Echappe´ -Le Grand Echappe´ Le Petit Echappe´'s breakout skill is one of the leaps that require great skill to control the leg muscles and which require a long period of training. ("The "Non-Traditional Ballet Body" in the Ballet, 2013; "The "Non-Traditional Ballet Body" in the Ballet, 2013;Klapper, 2020; saleh & ahmed al sabw, 2020b) The skill Le Petit Echappe´ performs from (the fifth position of the feet. The right in front -bending the knees -the arms, the first position). The student pushes the ground to rise high with the legs open to take the second position in the air.

“…Dance requires the participants to perform repeated, high-intensity movements such as a pointe, a demi-plié, jumping, and landing. Several studies have addressed variables such as ankle dorsiflexion [32,33], excessive forces, and loading rates during landing, as risk factors for injuries in this population. The high-intensity demands of movements required in dance could lead to high development of the muscles or overload in the joints.…”

Background and Objectives: Flexor hallucis longus pathology is one of the most common conditions of the ankle and foot in dancers, due to the high demand of dance movements performed in an extreme plantar flexion and dorsiflexion range of motion. The objectives of this study were to determine the bilateral differences between the thickness and cross-sectional area of the flexor hallucis longus muscle in dancers, to establish possible differences between dance modalities, and to analyze whether there is a correlation between ultrasonographic parameters or performance variables and the dance modality. Material and Methods: A sample of 50 (29 classical and 21 contemporary) full-time pre-professional female dancers were included in the study. The thickness and cross-sectional area of the flexor hallucis longus muscle were evaluated for both limbs using ultrasound imaging. The range of movement of the first metatarsophalangeal joint was measured using functional extension with maximal ankle plantarflexion, balance was measured in a unilateral stance with the heel raised, endurance was evaluated through a modified heel rise fatigue test, and a counter movement jump to assess the vertical jump performance was measured bilaterally. Results: There were no significant differences recorded between the dominant and non-dominant limbs for each variable, within both groups. Contemporary dancers showed a greater thickness and cross-sectional area of the flexor hallucis longus muscle than classical dancers. However, classical dancers showed an increase of balance, endurance, range of movement of the first metatarsophalangeal joint, and counter movement jump with respect to contemporary dancers. Conclusion: Bilateral symmetry was identified in all variables for both groups. The size and performance of the flexor hallucis longus muscle may be influenced by the specific nature of dance modality.
