Aerobic dance is currently the largest organized fitness activity primarily for women in the United States. In an attempt to identify and characterize the health problems associated with it, 351 students and 60 instructors from six facilities were followed for 16 weeks with weekly telephone calls. Of the 327 medical complaints reported during 29,924 hours of documented activity, only 84 (0.28 per hundred hours) resulted in any disability and only 2.1% required medical care. The shin/leg, foot and ankle accounted for nearly two-thirds of the injuries. Instructors were twice as likely to be injured as students. Both a history of prior orthopaedic problems and a lack of involvement in other fitness activities resulted in higher injury rates. Injury rates were influenced by the design and conduct of the aerobic program but not by brand of shoe or type of flooring. Aerobic dance appears to offer students the potential for fitness enhancement with a minimal risk of injury.
有氧舞蹈目前是美国规模最大的主要面向女性的有组织健身活动。为了识别并描述与之相关的健康问题，对来自六个场所的351名学生和60名教练进行了为期16周的跟踪，每周通过电话联系。在记录的29924小时活动期间报告的327起医疗投诉中，只有84起（每百小时0.28起）导致了任何残疾，只有2.1%的投诉需要医疗护理。小腿/腿部、足部和脚踝的损伤占了近三分之二。教练受伤的可能性是学生的两倍。既往有骨科问题的病史以及未参与其他健身活动都会导致更高的受伤率。受伤率受有氧课程的设计和实施影响，但不受鞋子品牌或地板类型的影响。有氧舞蹈似乎能让学生在受伤风险最小的情况下增强体质。
