ABSTRACT

Dance research should consider time points within a season that may be associated with injury, and report on weekly dance training loads. The current study aimed to analyse injuries within each semester and participant, monitor load, mood and stress within one semester, and calculate compliance with monitoring in a tertiary dance training cohort. The dance training program that participants are drawn from is a six-semester, three-year undergraduate course, training in ballet and contemporary dance. A better understanding of injury in dance may further refine load management and injury prevention strategies. Fourteen tertiary dance students consented to participate. A medical attention injury definition was used. Weekly injury rate ratios within each 14-week semester were calculated. Participants completed ratings of perceived exertion , and mood and stress questionnaires across one semester. Injuries were significantly increased for Week 5, Semester 1; Week 2, Semester 2; and Week 1, Semester 3, and 4. Spikes in load coincided with injury spikes, as observed visually on a line graph. Certain weeks in proximity to a change in training schedule had increased injury. Applying training principles in response to monitoring, specifically to return to dance after a holiday period, may aid in reducing injuries at this time requiring further investigation.

摘要

舞蹈研究应考虑一个季节内可能与受伤相关的时间点，并报告每周的舞蹈训练负荷。目前的研究旨在分析每学期和参与者的损伤情况，监测一个学期内的负荷、情绪和压力，并计算在第三级舞蹈训练队列中对监测的依从性。参加者所参加的舞蹈培训课程是一个为期六学期、三年的本科课程，培训芭蕾和现代舞。更好地了解舞蹈中的伤害可能会进一步完善负荷管理和伤害预防策略。十四名大专舞蹈学生同意参加。使用了医疗伤害定义。计算每 14 周学期内的每周伤害率比率。参与者完成了感知运动的评分，以及一学期的情绪和压力问卷。第 5 周，第 1 学期的伤害显着增加；第 2 周，第 2 学期；第 1 周、第 3 学期和第 4 学期。负荷峰值与损伤峰值一致，如在折线图上直观观察到的那样。在接近改变训练计划的几周内，伤病增加了。针对监测应用训练原则，特别是在假期后重返舞蹈，可能有助于减少此时需要进一步调查的伤害。
