![]() ![]() Significant correlations were found between isokinetic peak torque of the quadriceps and hamstrings (p=0.000) and the plantar flexors and dorsiflexors (p=0.000) on both sides, along with plantar flexor dominance (p=0.000). Pearson correlation (r) and χ ² correlation tests were performed on all explanatory variables. Isokinetic strength of the lower extremity, isometric strength of the trunk, and flexibility of both the trunk and lower extremity were assessed. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of muscle imbalance among young adolescent acrobats (n=15) and if there was a potential link to injury. Identifying which injuries are most likely to lead to forced time-loss, may be useful for helping healthcare professionals in clinical decision-making and in developing more effective injury prevention and management strategies. With respect to forced time-loss injuries, male dancers were found to sustain more acute traumatic injuries and female dancers overuse, respectively sprains and MTSS and PAIS. 72.20% of chronic and 50.00% of acute injuries occurred in Level III students. Differences were found in injuries' anatomical location between genders and in Incidence Proportion and Clinical Incidence between skill levels. The most prevalent diagnosis leading to forced time-loss in female dancers were Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (MTSS), 14.29%, and Posterior Ankle Impingement Syndrome (PAIS), 7.14%, whereas in male dancers these were Hallux Sprain, 17.50%, and Lumbar Spine Joint Injuries, 7.50%. Retrospective cohort, over a 3-year period on a full-time pre-professional Portuguese dance school featuring 70 both gender students with a mean age of 14.87 years. When signs and symptoms of injury are ignored, functional ability and overall health may be seriously compromised and absence from dance practice may forcibly take place.ĭescribe the epidemiology of dance-related musculoskeletal injury leading to forced time-loss in elite pre-professional dancers and provide descriptive data on the prevalence concerning diagnoses, location and injury type, stratified by gender and skill level. Young ballet dancers place themselves at risk of injury on a daily basis, often pushing their training beyond limits, ultimately leading to pain and injury. However, the appropriate consideration of Age and muscle strength could facilitate the 29 management of ankle ROM in PF of different ages. ![]() Factors such as the non-linear trend of 27 growth in young SP could hinder the definition of the relationship between ankle ROM, Age and 28 MS. Moreover, considering only the SP a weak inverse correlation between 26 ADF and HGS group ADF was found (rs =-0.27 p<0.001). In SP the results of the ANOVAs test indicate that Age had a 24 significant effect on ADF (F = 4.352, p = 0.038, partial eta-squared (ηp 2) = 0.015) but not on APF (F= 25 0.430, p = 0.746, ηp 2 = 0.001). Ankle ROM in both plantar flexion (APF) and dorsiflexion (ADF) in addition to handgrip 20 strength (HGS) were evaluated using an inclinometer and the Jamar hydraulic hand dynamometer, 21 respectively. A total of 204 SP (range 6.7-45.1 years) and 87 18 Controls (range: 7.5-45.2 years) matched for Age, Body Mass Index (BMI) and Gender, were 19 assessed. Furthermore, the relationship between ankle ROM and 17 muscle strength in SP of different ages was studied. The main objective of this 15 research was to investigate the effects of soccer practice on ankle ROM throughout the entire period 16 of a sports career of soccer players (SP). Soccer (football) practice can induce a limitation of ankle range of motion (ROM) that is a 14 possible risk factor for injury and other negative consequences over time. ![]()
