Health care related problems among female sport dancers

The research conducted on a sample of dancers from around the world is a step forward in gathering global information on dancers’ health status. Health care related information can help in injury prevention and be useful to thousands of dancers around the world who participate in similar training procedures. This study has confirmed the set hypothesis which stated that female dancers would avoid consulting a physician so as not to stop training and thus jeopardize their prospects in a competition. Lower back, ankles/feet, neck and knees are especially risky topological areas for injuries caused by long-term dance training. Age-progressive and frequent (54.9 %) incidence of knee pain is a prominent risk factor in achieving long-term dancing careers.
