Dancers sustain substantial injury rates ranging from 0.62-5.6 injuries per 1000 dance exposure hours with 72% of these injuries attributed to overuse mechanisms. Highly technical activities like dance often require high training volumes incorporating deliberate practice from a young age which may contribute to these high percentages of overuse injuries. The purpose of this study was to determine trends between dance participation, athletic participation, and injury history.
Cross-sectional survey.
Dancers over 18 years old with at least one year of dance experience were recruited from across the United States to complete a survey via Qualtrics. The survey included five sections addressing basic demographic information, dance experience, athletic activity history, and injury history. Relationships between variables were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test or the Wilcoxon Signed Rank test. Factorial ANOVAs were also used to observe relationships between three or more groups.
Of 424 total responses, 339 were deemed complete for analysis. Nearly 75% of respondents reported experiencing at least one injury that inhibited their dance ability. Greater total injuries were reported by participants who had more years of dance experience, those who practiced ballet, and individuals who began dance before age 12. Approximately one-third of participants exclusively participated in dance with no involvement with other athletic activities. Respondents starting dance prior to age 12 reported participation in fewer athletic activities. However, no difference in the number of injuries was observed between individuals involved in athletic activity compared to those practicing dance alone.
Increased dance exposure and associated high training volumes and repetitive movements may represent a greater risk for overuse injuries than sport specialization in dancers.

舞者的受伤率颇高,每1000小时舞蹈训练的受伤次数在0.62至5.6次之间,其中72%的损伤归因于过度使用机制。像舞蹈这样的高技术含量活动通常需要大量训练,且从年轻时就开始进行刻意练习,这可能是导致这些高比例过度使用损伤的原因。本研究的目的是确定舞蹈参与、体育活动参与和受伤史之间的趋势。
横断面调查。
从美国各地招募18岁以上且有至少一年舞蹈经验的舞者,通过Qualtrics完成一项调查。该调查包括五个部分,涉及基本人口统计学信息、舞蹈经验、体育活动史和受伤史。使用曼-惠特尼U检验或威尔科克森符号秩检验分析变量之间的关系。还使用析因方差分析来观察三组或更多组之间的关系。
在424份总回复中,339份被视为完整可用于分析。近75%的受访者报告至少经历过一次影响其舞蹈能力的损伤。舞蹈经验更丰富、练习芭蕾舞以及12岁之前开始跳舞的参与者报告的总受伤次数更多。约三分之一的参与者仅参加舞蹈活动,未参与其他体育活动。12岁之前开始跳舞的受访者报告参与的体育活动较少。然而,与仅练习舞蹈的人相比,参与体育活动的人在受伤次数上没有差异。
对于舞者而言,增加舞蹈训练量以及相关的高训练强度和重复动作可能比运动专项化带来更大的过度使用损伤风险。
