In brief: Studies show that adult ballerinas practice poor nutrition habits, but little research has been done on adolescent dancers. The authors analyzed the diet composition of 92 female ballet dancers aged 12 to 17 enrolled in six professional schools. Three- day diet histories were used to compile data, and a dietitian worked with the dancers to ensure accuracy in record keeping. The results showed poor nutrition habits and low calorie and nutrition intake. Sixty percent routinely took vitamin or mineral supplements, but not properly. Unfortunately, the dancers' desire to maintain a sylphlike, willowy body makes them unwilling to consume the number of calories required for a healthy diet. A nutrition class in the dance school curriculum would help increase their knowledge and improve their dietary habits.
研究表明成年芭蕾舞女演员营养习惯不佳，但针对青少年舞者的研究却很少。作者分析了92名年龄在12至17岁、就读于六所专业学校的女性芭蕾舞舞者的饮食构成。采用三日饮食记录来收集数据，并且有一名营养师与这些舞者合作以确保记录的准确性。结果显示她们存在营养习惯不佳以及热量和营养摄入不足的情况。60%的人经常服用维生素或矿物质补充剂，但服用方式不当。不幸的是，这些舞者想要保持苗条、轻盈身材的愿望使她们不愿摄入健康饮食所需的热量。舞蹈学校课程中的营养课程将有助于增加她们的知识并改善她们的饮食习惯。
