20.500.12556/RUL-127838 A retrospective investigation on age and gender differences of injuries in dancesport In spite of the extensive research on incidence site and type of injury in ballet and modern dancers, limited studies on injury in DanceSport have been reported. Therefore, this study determined retrospectively (within last 12 months) incidence, severity, site and type of injury, between gender and age-class in DanceSport. Participants were 97 international sport-dancers (female, 41; male, 56). Sixty-six (69%) dancers reported 96 injuries (1.00 (range = 4)) injuries per dancer) and an injury incidence of 1.7 (range = 14) per 1000 h. Females revealed significantly higher median injury incidence (females, 2.6 (range = 14); males, 1.9 (range = 9), p < 0.05) than males. A total of 61.5% of all injuries recorded were traumatic with a significant gender difference (Wald chi-square = 11.616, df = 1, p < 0.01). Injury severity was 3 (range 240) days with an interaction effect between gender and age-class (Wald chi-square = 251.374, df = 3, p < 0.001). Meanwhile, 72.3% of the dancers reported not including sport specific exercises besides dancing. These findings show gender and age-class differences in injury incidence, type and severity. Therefore, to reduce the likelihood of injuries, the implementation of supplemental DanceSport specific exercises that also considers the gender and age-class anatomical, functional, and choreographic demand differences in the training program should be recognized. injuries dance ballroom incidence age ples poškodbe plesna dvorana nezgode starost športni plesi spol true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2021-06-24 11:34:23 2021-06-24 11:34:24 2022-09-06 03:53:23 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2019 0 0 11 str. iss. 21, art. 4164 Vol. 16 2019 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 793.3:616-001 1660-4601 10.3390/ijerph16214164 5612209 RAZ_Premelc_Jerneja_2019.pdf RAZ_Premelc_Jerneja_2019.pdf 1 71BE9B31371F2958721BA3FE5D484908 e5956bd691eeadc23845d8ae41d52b66555810ecb7d91d7b5aeaab71c5d896b2 fe4984c5-d4d0-11eb-a523-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=144398 https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/16/21/4164 1 405708af-d4cf-11eb-a523-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=144397 Fakulteta za šport 0 0 0
