“…Therefore, the results of the analyses where we have defined associations between the body-built indices and injury-prevalence on different locations are particularly interesting. Most of the studies done so far examined the general prevalence of injury in relation to anthropometric and body-built indices [6,23]. The strength of the current study is that, to our knowledge, it is the first to examine how the body-built is potentially related to an isolated injury of DISCUSSION There were several most important findings of this study.…”

Objectives: This study has aimed at identifying prevalence of injury-occurrence in 24 pre-professional-ballet-dancers (females, 16-18 years of age), and identifying the associations between the body-built and prevalence of injuries. Material and Methods: The sample of variables included: body mass, body height, and 3 somatotype characteristics (mesomorph, ectomorph and endomorph) and data on injuries over the preceding year. Results: Dancers were mostly ectomorphic-mesomorph (endomorphy: 2.6±0.54, mesomorphy: 3.99±0.77, ectomorphy: 3.23±0.54). The most commonly injured locations were the foot (17% of all injuries) and ankle (17%). Majority of the injuries occurred while practising but 37% of hip-injuries occurred while performing. Ankle-injuries resulted in longest absence from ballet. Endomorphy was related to ankle-injury (odds ratio (OR) = 1.9, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.4-2.3), ectomorphy to foot injury (OR = 1.7, 95% CI: 1.1-2.9), and body-mass to injury to the toes (OR = 1.7, 95% CI: 1.4-3.1). Conclusions: The results of this study allow for recognizing those dancers who are particularly vulnerable to injuries of certain body location. A more profound analysis of the possible mechanisms that lead to hip-injury during performance is needed. Int J Occup Med Environ Health 2017;30(1):151-159

“…The risk of injury is one of the most common healthhazards in ballet. In general, the lower extremities appear to be the most common injured locations, followed by soft tissue disorders within the lumbosacral region [6][7][8].…”
