Dance injuries.

Dancers are athletes in an artistic setting. Their injuries, as in other sports, are acute and chronic. Usually, the acute problems are not severe but still can be devastating, especially to the career performer. Chronic problems abound, especially in the lumbosacral spine and lower extremities. Evaluating the dancer with an understanding of the technical and physical demands aids in their care. Treating this dedicated population can be rewarding, and one will find possibly no greater appreciation for one's efforts as a medical practitioner.

Physical fitness, menstrual cycle disorders and smoking habit in Croatian National Ballet and National Folk Dance Ensembles.

The study investigated differences in morphological, motor and functional abilities between folk and ballet dancers. The sample comprised 51 female subjects: Croatian National Ballet (N=30) and Croatian National Folk Ensemble "LADO" (N=21). The data regarding menstrual cycle, menarche, number of births and smoking habit were collected and the morphological, motor and functional abilities measured. Significant correlations between the amount of fat tissue and number of births were found in both groups. Folk dancers were as tall as ballet dancers but weighted more and had a larger body frame (p<0.001). Ballet dancers were more flexible but there were no differences in absolute maximal oxygen uptake (2.65 vs. 2.35 L/min, p=0.101). Still, as the ballet dancers weighted less, their relative maximal oxygen uptake was significantly higher (37.62 vs. 50.22 mL/kg/min, p<0.001). Also, a high number of 45% of smokers among professional ballet and professional folk dancers was found.
