To progress to a high level in classical ballet, en pointe is a requirement. The aim of this literature review was to evaluate the available evidence relating to readiness for dancing en pointe, including injury rates in the adolescent dancer population, screening tools, and pre-pointe training methods. It has been emphasized that young dancers are a demographic at increased risk of injury, especially as they progress through the growth spurt and increase their training hours. Dancers are commonly screened at the pre-pointe level, but unfortunately the majority of evidence resulting from this process, as reported in the literature, is subjective in nature. Hence, there is large variance regarding an appropriate time or level to commence en pointe training, and it remains unclear what dance teachers should be looking for in making this decision. A further paucity of evidence is demonstrated with regard to pre-pointe training protocols or instruction; in this review, no published literature was found on the topic. As such, there is a clear need for further study of pre-pointe screening and en pointe training protocols.
要在古典芭蕾领域达到高水平,足尖舞是一项必备技能。本综述的目的是评估与足尖舞准备情况相关的现有证据,包括青少年舞者群体中的受伤率、筛查工具和足尖舞前训练方法。需要强调的是,年轻舞者是受伤风险较高的人群,尤其是在他们经历生长突增期并增加训练时长时。舞者通常在开始足尖舞训练前接受筛查,但遗憾的是,正如文献中所报道的,这一过程产生的大多数证据本质上是主观的。因此,对于开始足尖舞训练的合适时间或水平存在很大差异,目前仍不清楚舞蹈教师在做出这一决定时应该关注哪些方面。关于足尖舞前训练方案或指导的证据也十分匮乏;在本综述中,未找到关于该主题的已发表文献。因此,显然有必要进一步研究足尖舞前筛查和足尖舞训练方案。
