This study aimed to compare the dual-task performances of ballet dancers who use attention, concentration and balance skills in combination during both their training and stage performances and individuals who do not have a dance background and are not engaged in active sports.
In the ballet dancers group (n = 30) and control (n = 30) group, the maximum digit span in which all individuals repeated the sequences presented in the PowerPoint program in the correct order and completely in the visual forward digit span and visual backward digit span test were determined. Afterwards, the Flamingo balance test was administered to all individuals, and the number of falls was recorded. In the evaluation of dual-task performance, maximum forward and backward digit spans were randomly presented to each individual, and at the end of the Flamingo balance test, the individuals were requested to repeat the numbers in the correct order and in full.
While the dual-task performance resulted in a positive dual-task effect in ballet dancers, it led to a negative effect in the control group. In addition, ballet dancers displayed significantly better balance performances than the control group in both the single and dual tasks (p < 0.001).
It was determined that ballet dancers exhibited better balance performance during both single-tasks and additional cognitive tasks than healthy individuals who did not dance and were not engaged in sports. It was interpreted that ballet dance training might be effective in improving balance and dual-task performance and preventing falls.
本研究旨在比较在训练和舞台表演中综合运用注意力、专注力和平衡技能的芭蕾舞舞者与没有舞蹈背景且不从事体育活动的个体在双重任务中的表现。
在芭蕾舞舞者组（n = 30）和对照组（n = 30）中，确定了所有个体在视觉正向数字广度和视觉反向数字广度测试中以正确顺序完整重复PowerPoint程序中呈现序列的最大数字广度。之后，对所有个体进行火烈鸟平衡测试，并记录跌倒次数。在双重任务表现评估中，向每个个体随机呈现最大正向和反向数字广度，在火烈鸟平衡测试结束时，要求个体按正确顺序完整重复数字。
双重任务表现对芭蕾舞舞者产生了积极的双重任务效应，而在对照组中则产生了消极效应。此外，在单任务和双重任务中，芭蕾舞舞者的平衡表现均显著优于对照组（p < 0.001）。
研究确定，与不跳舞且不从事体育活动的健康个体相比，芭蕾舞舞者在单任务和附加认知任务中均表现出更好的平衡能力。据解释，芭蕾舞训练可能对改善平衡和双重任务表现以及预防跌倒有效。
