“…However, from the authors’ perspective, it is possible that injury occurrence does not vary across dance styles. On the other hand, it is almost certain that dancers involved in different dance styles suffer from different types of injury and/or injured different body locations [ 16 , 21 , 43 ], which should be explored more in detail in the future.…”

“…Since such programs should be motivational and attractive, dance is a perfect tool, as it fulfils not only PA requirements but also enables the development of social skills and expressiveness in youth [ 12 , 13 , 14 ]. As some individuals begin to dance very early in their childhood, dance is a particularly suitable form of PA that can be continuously applied whether in a professional or recreational context, throughout a participant’s lifetime [ 15 , 16 , 17 ].…”

“…Studies have reported that 20–84% of dancers have suffered from a musculoskeletal (MS) injury at least once in their career, and an even higher percentage (95%) have suffered from MS pain [ 18 , 20 , 21 ]. MS injuries vary by dance style, and by far the most common dancers to experience MS injuries are ballet dancers, followed by urban dancers (i.e., breakdance, hip-hop, locking, popping, house) and modern dancers [ 16 , 22 , 23 ].…”

The positive effects of dance on health indices in youth are widely recognized, but participation in dance is accompanied with a certain risk of injury. This prospective study aimed to investigate injury occurrence and to evaluate the possible influences of specific predictors on the occurrence of musculoskeletal problems and injuries in adolescent dancers. Participants were 126 dancers (21 males; 11–18 years), who were competitors in the urban dance, rock and roll, and standard/Latin dance genres. Predictors included sociodemographic factors, anthropometric/body build indices, sport (dance) factors, and dynamic balance. The outcome variable was injury status, and this was evaluated by the Oslo Sports Trauma Research Centre Overuse Injury Questionnaire (OSTRC). Predictors were evaluated at baseline, and outcomes were continuously monitored during the study period of 3 months. During the study course, 53% of dancers reported the occurrence of a musculoskeletal problem/injury, and dancers suffered from an average of 0.72 injuries over the study period (95% CI: 0.28–1.41), giving a yearly injury rate of 280%. Gender and dance styles were not significantly related to the occurrence of injury. Higher risk for injury was evidenced in older and more experienced dancers. Dynamic balance, as measured by the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT), was a significant protective factor of injury occurrence, irrespective of age/experience in dance. Knowing the simplicity and applicability of the SEBT, continuous monitoring of dynamic balance in adolescent dancers is encouraged. In order to prevent the occurrence of musculoskeletal problems/injuries in youth dancers, we suggest the incorporation of specific interventions aimed at improving dynamic balance.

“…Sport-related injuries have become a field of great interests to researchers, and such injuries among children and adolescents are an important public health problem, accounting for 30% to 40% of all injuries ( 1 , 2 ), with a wide range of negative consequences ( 3 ). Sports injuries are associated with different risk factors, such as sex, age, previous injury, early specialisation, cognitive and behavioural abilities, socioeconomic status, and so on ( 4 , 5 ).…”

Introduction The purpose of the research was to analyse the injuries of primary school children in the framework of organised sports activities at school and in clubs or associations, and in leisure time without professional guidance. Methods We surveyed 631 participants, of which there were 282 boys and 349 girls from eight Slovenian primary schools. Frequencies were calculated and a Chi-square test was performed. Results In physical education (PE) at school, 32% of the participants were injured in one school year, and there were no statistically significant differences in the number of injuries according to sex (p=0.18) and age (p=0.12). Most injuries were recorded in the lower extremities (50%), in the form of wounds. The participants were injured less often in PE at school than in a club or association, and more often than in their leisure time. The participants were absent from PE classes for longer after an injury in a club or association than in PE, while no significant differences in absences after injury were found. At school, the participants were most often injured in ball games, boys in football (43%) and girls in volleyball (19%). In activities in a club or association, we recorded the most injuries in boys in martial arts (18%) and dance for girls (19%). In their leisure time, boys suffered the most injuries from football (26%) and cycling, while girls suffered the most from running and rollerblading. Conclusion In the last ten years, the number of injuries in PE has increased in Slovenia. Based on the obtained results, we propose measures to reduce injuries and thus encourage more sports activities among children and adolescents, while ensuring their safety.

“…The arrival of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) forced nearly all pre-professional dancers to train and study from home due to the lockdown. Prior to this, the reported injury prevalence for dancers was between 3 and 95% (Brinson and Dick, 1996 ; Laws and Apps, 2005 ; Hincapié et al, 2008 ; Riding McCabe et al, 2014 ; Dang et al, 2020 ; Henn et al, 2020 ; Uršej and Zaletel, 2020 ), with an injury incidence between 0.1 and 4.9 per 1,000 h (Hopper et al, 2014a ; Bronner and Bauer, 2018 ; Bronner et al, 2018 ; Kenny et al, 2018 ; Brooker, 2020 ; Stephens et al, 2021 ). Injuries were mainly in the muscles of the lower limb and chronic in nature (Allen et al, 2013 ; Dang et al, 2020 ).…”

Prevalence and Risk Factors of Dance Injury During COVID-19: A Cross-Sectional Study From University Students in China

Objectives: Although coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has transformed the training environment of dancers worldwide, little is known on how this has affected injury prevalence, causes, and risk factors.Methods: An online investigation involving Chinese full-time dance students was conducted (September–November 2020), which covered two 6-month periods just before and during the first COVID-19 lockdown.Results: 2086 students (19 ± 2.4 years) responded to the investigation. Injury prevalence dropped from 39.6% (before the lockdown) to 16.5% (during the lockdown) (p < 0.01). It was noted that a significant increase in injury severity during the lockdown was caused due to a 4.1% increase in moderate-to-severe injuries (p < 0.05). During the lockdown, the injuries on the lower back, feet, and shoulders decreased significantly (p < 0.01), but the knee, ankle, and groin/hip joint injuries remained the same. Fatigue and the recurrence of an old injury remained as the top two perceived causes of an injury between the two periods with the increase in an unsuitable floor (p < 0.01), a cold environment (p < 0.05), and set/props (p < 0.05). The fatigue degree of students decreased (p < 0.01) and their hours of sleep increased (p < 0.01) during the lockdown. Binary Logistic Regression analysis indicated that dance injury is associated with fatigue, the hours of sleep, and the actions taken if they suspect an injury during the lockdown (p < 0.05), but is only related to the time set aside for a cooldown and age before the lockdown period (p < 0.05).Conclusion: Although injury prevalence dropped significantly during the first COVID-19 lockdown in Chinese dance students, the main dance injury characteristics remained the same. Decreased fatigue and longer hours of sleep could explain the aforementioned drop in injury prevalence during the lockdown.
