Two tests frequently used to measure joint proprioception were performed on the knees of twelve members of a professional ballet company to determine the effect of extensive athletic training on this sensation. These tests measured the threshold of perception of joint motion and the ability of a subject to reproduce a joint position. A healthy, active age-matched control group was also tested. Results show that dancers performed significantly better on the threshold test (p less than 0.05) and significantly worse when reproducing a joint position (p less than 0.05) than the control group. The strong implication is that athletic training can affect joint proprioception and that these two tests are in fact, dependent on different neural mechanisms.
对一家专业芭蕾舞团的12名成员的膝盖进行了两项常用于测量关节本体感觉的测试，以确定大量运动训练对这种感觉的影响。这些测试测量了关节运动感知阈值以及受试者重现关节位置的能力。还对一个年龄匹配、健康且活跃的对照组进行了测试。结果显示，与对照组相比，舞者在阈值测试中的表现显著更好（p小于0.05），而在重现关节位置时表现显著更差（p小于0.05）。这强烈表明运动训练会影响关节本体感觉，而且这两项测试实际上依赖于不同的神经机制。
