“…This _ VO 2 max value is quite similar to that previously reported by Clarkson et al (1985) for talented young female ballet dancers (48.9 ml kg -1 min -1 ). Previous studies evaluated karate exercises lasting from 20 to 80 s (Francescato et al 1995) or rhythmic routine of 90 s (Guidetti et al 2000) involving several muscle groups with complex movements arranged in a precise sequence.…”

“…Classical dance takes place between sport and art involving rhythm's sense, aesthetic and technical ideals, and a good level of training (Clarkson et al 1985;Schantz and Astrand 1984;Baldari and Guidetti 2001). Considering that ballet work bouts are usually of intermediate duration (>10 s and <5 min) and apparently no data are available about the effect of warm up performed prior to a high-intensity intermediateduration ballet exercise, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of active warm up on energy cost and energy sources of a ballet dance exercise in young talented female dancers.…”

Effect of warm up on energy cost and energy sources of a ballet dance exercise

To evaluate the effect of warm up on energy cost and energy sources of a ballet dance exercise, 12 adolescent talented female dancers performed a ballet exercise (30 s of tours piqués en dedans on pointe) without and following a warm up. Warm up consisted in a light running followed by a period of stretching and two ballet exercises. The overall energy requirement of dance exercise (VO(2eq)) was obtained by adding the amount of VO(2) during exercise above resting (aerobic source or VO(2ex)) to the VO(2) up to the fast component of recovery (anaerobic alactic source or VO(2al)) and to the energy equivalent of peak blood lactate accumulation (anaerobic lactic source or (VO2lA) of recovery. VO(2eq) of exercise preceded by warm up amounted to 37 +/- 3 ml kg(-1). VO(2al) represented the higher fraction (50 +/- 6%) of VO(2eq), the remaining fractions were: 39 +/- 5% for VO(2ex) and 11 +/- 3% for VO2lA . VO(2eq) of exercise without warm up amounted to 38 +/- 3 ml kg(-1). This value was made up of: 26 +/- 6% by VO(2ex), 56 +/- 6% by VO(2al) and 18 +/- 3% by VO2lA. Between exercise conditions, significant differences were found in VO(2ex) (P < 0.01), VO2lA (P < 0.01), and VO(2al) (P < 0.05). The metabolic power requirement, 1.6 times higher than subject's VO2max indicates a very demanding exercise. The anaerobic alactic source was the most utilized. It can be concluded that, when dance exercise was preceded by warm up, the anaerobic sources contribution decreased whereas the aerobic energy source increased.

“…Dance fitness depends on the individual's ability to work under aerobic (Clarkson et al 1985;Cohen et al 1982) and anaerobic conditions (Koutedakis and Jamurtas 2004), and on their capacity to develop high levels of muscle tension, i.e., muscle strength (Clarkson et al 1985). Individual anaerobic threshold was 55 and 60% of _ VO 2 max for dancers belonging to group A and B, respectively.…”

“…Limited studies give us information about cardiorespiratory characteristics in young female ballet dancers (Baldari and Guidetti 2001;Clarkson et al 1985); the effect of warm up on the energy sources of a ballet exercise (Guidetti et al 2007a), and about metabolic responses to a typical ballet class (Guidetti et al 2007b). During a ballet class, low technical level dancers were reported to often perform above their anaerobic threshold, indicating that they tend to utilize aerobic metabolism to a lesser extent than highly technical dancers.…”

“…Previous review and studies assessed various health factors in elite professional adult female ballet dancers including nutritional status, body composition characteristics, risk factors and injuries that occurred (Clarkson et al 1985;Iwamoto and Takeda 2003;Khan et al 1995). Clarkson et al 1985 found that _ VO 2 max of talented ballet dancers was 48.9 ml kg -1 min -1 while _ VO 2 max of untrained girls of a similar age group (15 years) was ranging from 35.9 to 40.8 ml kg -1 min -1 . In general, professional adult dancers demonstrated lower maximal oxygen uptake values compared with endurance athletes (Koutedakis and Sharp 1999).…”

This study evaluated energy cost and energy sources of a ballet exercise (grand adage) in young female dancers with different technical ability, and then related the energy sources to the subject's VO(2max) and anaerobic threshold (IAT). Twenty-five dancers (13-16 years) were divided into two different technical ability groups: low-level (n = 13) and high-level (n = 12). The overall energy requirement of dance exercise (VO(2eq)) was obtained by adding the amount of VO(2) during exercise above resting (aerobic source or VO(2ex)) to the VO(2) up to the fast component of recovery (anaerobic alactic source or VO(2al)) and to the energy equivalent of peak blood lactate accumulation (anaerobic lactic source or VO(2la) of recovery. VO(2eq) of exercise amounted to 81 +/- 10 and 94 +/- 9 ml kg(-1) in low-level and high-level groups, respectively. VO(2ex) represented the higher fraction (65 +/- 4% and 77 +/- 5%) in low-level and high-level groups, respectively, of VO(2eq )in both the groups. In the low-level group the remaining fractions were: 23 +/- 2 % for VO(2al) and 12 +/- 1% for VO(2la). In high-level group the remaining fractions were: 18 +/- 2 % for VO(2al) and 4 +/- 1% for VO(2la). Between two groups, significant differences were found in VO(2ex )(P < 0.01), VO(2al) (P < 0.01), and VO(2al )(P < 0.05). IAT was 55 and 60% of VO(2max) for low-level and high-level dancers, respectively. Low-level dancers performed more exercise above IAT than high-level. For these reasons, it should be better to define exercise intensity according to the IAT parameter and not only to VO(2max).
