ABSTRACT

Lower limb injuries in dancers are a very common complication preventing them from maximizing their performance or even causing one to end their dance career. The aim of this study was to investigate the dynamic stability using the Y-balance test (YBT) in professional folk dancers in comparison with the non-dancers. The study involved 30 folk dancers from the Urpin Folk Group and a control sample of 30 individuals from the general. Analysis of the results showed no statistically significant difference between the folklorist group and the control group in the anterior direction. However, the differences between groups were statistically significant for the posteromedial direction with the medium effect size for both legs and for the posterolateral direction with the strong effect size for both legs. The differences in the composite score for the right leg were not statistically significant with the small effect size, yet the difference in the left leg in the composite score was statistically significant with the strong effect. The results of the study indicate that folk dancers present poorer dynamic balance compared to the general population.

摘要

舞者的下肢受伤是一种非常常见的并发症，使他们无法最大限度地发挥自己的表现，甚至导致他们结束舞蹈生涯。本研究的目的是通过 Y 平衡测试 (YBT) 研究专业民间舞者与非舞者相比的动态稳定性。该研究涉及来自 Urpin 民间团体的 30 名民间舞者和来自将军的 30 名控制样本。结果分析表明，民俗组与对照组在前向方向上差异无统计学意义。然而，对于双腿中等效应大小的后内侧方向和双腿强效应大小的后外侧方向，组间差异具有统计学意义。右腿综合得分差异无统计学意义，效应量小，而左腿综合得分差异有统计学意义，效应强。研究结果表明，与一般人群相比，民间舞者的动态平衡较差。
