20.500.12556/RUL-132356 Injury occurrence and return to dance in professional ballet prospective analysis of specific correlates Professional ballet is a highly challenging art, but studies have rarely examined factors associated with injury status in ballet professionals. This study aimed to prospectively examine gender-specific correlates of injury occurrence and time-off from injury in professional ballet dancers over a one-year period. The participants were 99 professional ballet dancers (41 males and 58 females). Variables included: (i) predictors: sociodemographic data (age, educational status), ballet-related factors (i.e., experience in ballet, ballet status), cigarette smoking, alcohol drinking, and consumption of illicit drugs; and (ii) outcomes: injury occurrence and time-off from injury. Participants were questioned on predictors at the beginning of the season, while data on outcomes were collected continuously once per month over the study period. Dancers reported total of 196 injuries (1.9 injuries (95% CI: 1.6–2.3) per dancer in average), corresponding to 1.4 injuries per 1000 dance-hours (95% CI: 1.1–1.7). In females, cigarette smoking was a predictor of injury occurrence in females (OR: 4.33, 95% CI: 1.05–17.85). Alcohol drinking was a risk factor for absence from dance in females (OR: 1.29, 95% CI: 1.01–4.21) and males (OR: 1.21, 95% CI: 1.05–3.41). Less experienced dancers were more absent from dance as a result of injury than their more experienced peers (Mann-Whitney Z: 2.02, p < 0.04). Ballet dancers and their managers should be aware of the findings of this study to make informed decisions on their behavior (dancers) or to initiate specific programs aimed at the prevention of substance use and misuse in this profession (managers). dance ballet prevalence of injury time-off predictors AUDIT ples balet poškodbe prosti čas AUDIT true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2021-10-22 12:13:22 2021-10-22 12:13:23 2022-09-12 04:12:05 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2019 0 0 11 str. iss. 5, art. 765 Vol. 16 2019 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 793.3:792.82:616-001 1660-4601 10.3390/ijerph16050765 5478833 RAZ_Novosel_Bozidar_2019.pdf RAZ_Novosel_Bozidar_2019.pdf 1 7173042CDF4FD3DBABDD63F80F29BD86 2cc2460d32e88147aa5b51c76a02c095732f39957edfb198ebe8af0114ec0f1b d2143db2-3320-11ec-abdb-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=149979 https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/16/5/765 1 ac295223-3320-11ec-abdb-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=149978 Fakulteta za šport 0 0 0
