    PHYSICAL EDUCATION 3 2 DANCE-RELATED INJURIES

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    At the end of the lesson, students should be able to:


    1. identify the different dance related injuries and
    2. describe the different dance related injuries.

    INTRODUCTION

    The popularity of dance and dance-related competitions in the recent years has shown a concomitant
    rise in dance-related injuries. Similar to athletes, dancers are highly motivated to perform well. They push
    their body to the limit and spend hours in technique training and mastering a choreography. On the other
    hand, dancers place great value on their physique that they often do not get proper nourishment, a habit
    that could impede their recovery.

    Dance Related Injuries

    1. Injury is a tissue or an organ damage due to mechanical trauma.

    2. The Musculoskeletal structures commonly injured in a dancer are the muscles, tendons,
    ligaments, bones, and joints.

    3. These structures are designed to absorb impact due to a sudden change in the program or a

    poorly performed technique.

    4. According to studies, more adolescent dancers are getting injured.

    The following factors are common among Dancers who have injury:

    1. Poor Body Alignment and Technique

     The anatomical alignment and technique of the dancer are some of the intrinsic factors that
    are commonly associated with injury.
     Dance requires moving the limbs in a controlled and precise manner.
     These movements are anchored to the trunk, which means that the trunk should be stable
    and the spine are aligned properly.

    2. Excessive Training Duration and Intensity

     Excessive training and limited recovery impair the ability to heal and repair damaged
    tissues.
     Intense technique training will most likely lead to microscopic injury to the musculoskeletal
    structures due to repetitive loading.
     Without proper rest and sufficient nutrition, the body is not able to rebuild the tissues and
    this predisposes the dancer to a severe injury.

    3. Hard Dance Floor

     The floor is where the dancers rehearse and perform.


     An optimal dance floor should be able to absorb the impact that is generated by the
    performer.
     A hard dance floor does not help in dissipating the impact and returns the force to the
    dancer.
     The repetitive shock absorbed by the foot would eventually damage the foot or other parts
    of the lower extremity.

    4. Poor Shoe Design

     Footwear is able to correct foot mechanics and reduces the impact on the foot.
     A shoe that does not fit properly or has insufficient shock absorption will significantly
    contribute to injury risk.
    5. Muscle imbalance

     It is an uncoordinated muscle action because of uneven strength between muscle groups.


     This is attributed to various factors such as anatomy, technique and past injury.

    2 TYPES OF MUSCULOSKELETAL INJURIES

    1. Acute Injuries - occur when the mechanical force that is absorbed by the musculoskeletal structure is
    more than what it is accustomed to. The onset of pain and other symptoms occur immediately after
    the impact.

    2. Chronic Injuries - occur due to repetitive trauma and the body is not given enough time to recover.
    The onset of pain and other symptoms occur at a gradual rate, which is usually worsened with activity
    or training.

    WHAT ARE SOME STRATEGIES THAT COULD REDUCE INJURY RISK?

    1. Programmed exercise and training

     It has been reported that dancers are not as physically fit as other types of athletes. Moreover,
    several studies reported poor cardiovascular endurance increases the risk of dance-related
    injuries (Angioi, 2009).
     Most injuries occur as fatigue sets.
     A dance training session is commonly divided into warm- up, technique training, choreography and
    cool down.

    2. Adequate recovery

     Recovery is important phase of training because it is the period wherein the body repairs and
    rebuilds itself.
     Without the proper recovery, the body will be weak and fatigue easily, which predisposes the
    dancer to injury.
     These are two key factors to effective recovery: Nutrition and Rest.

    3. Appropriate environment

     A suspended floor is a floor designed to absorb the impact when dancing or jumping.
     It is able to accommodate the force because it has dense foam block between the wood and
    concrete.
     Floor should be maintained and not slippery.
     Dancers prefer a training facility or performance center that is a bit warm because it helps them in
    their warm-up and prepare them psychologically

    4. Proper footwear

     Shoes protect the lower extremities from injury by reducing the impact when dancing.
     Shoes have the ability to correct overpronation of the foot, which has been linked to plantar
    fascidtis and fat pad contusions.
    5. Proper warm-up and technique

     Dance movements require a great degree of flexibility.


     Proper warm- up helps improve flexibility before dance training or performance.
     It is important for beginners to learn the proper technique to maximize the risk of straining the
    muscles.
    6. Cross training

     It is a type of physical training that is different from what is usually performed.


     It helps to maintain physical fitness but it minimizes the mental stress that is associated with
    dancing.
    7. Early recognition

     Pain is good indicator that there is damage to the tissue. However, dancers and athletes tend to
    have a high tolerance for pain. Moreover, they associate pain with improvement and part of
    training.
     This can be avoided if the dancer recognizes the pain early and seeks medical advice.
