Filter by:With our study, we aim to contribute to the literature by determining the effects of core stabilization and resistance exercise applications on muscle strength, endurance, balance, flexibility and performance in latin dancers. It is also aimed to raise awareness of the necessity of an exercise program in order to improve physical fitness parameters in addition to dance training in dancers. Considering the physiological demands of dance and dancer, it is necessary to develop a dance-specific approach by blending physical condition and art. Our study aims to contribute in this context.
The injuries in the dancers are usually associated with different factors such as the characteristics of the footwear, height of the heel and physical requirements, the articulation of the ankle being the most susceptible when the loads are not adequately dealt. The main objective is to evaluate in a sample of subjects if there is a difference in the stability of the ankle, as a consequence of previous sprains, between flamenco dancers and dancers and a dance-free control group.
Tendinopathy of the flexor hallucis longus (FHL), colloquially referred to as "dancer's tendinitis," is a common condition in dancers and attributed to high demand on this muscle in positions of extreme ankle plantarflexion and metatarsophalangeal (MTP) flexion and extension. Tradicional conservative treatment includes rest from pain-inducing activities including pointe work and jumping, physical therapy a focusing on movilization of the joints of the first ray and subtalar joint, and antiinflamatory medications. Unfortunately, dancer frecuently do not follow recommendations to rest due to the competitive nature of the field. Those who do not respond to conservative treatment undergo more serious interventions including steroid injections or surgery, each with additional risks and recovery time. To develop experimental protocols aimed at prevention and nonsurgical interventions are needed. Therefore, the aim of this study was To investigate the effects of one shot of low-frequency percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (PENS) vs. one shot of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) in performance of the Flexor Hallucis Longus muscle in young dancers.
