20.500.12556/RUL-132766 Investigating the prevalence and predictors of injury occurrence in competitive hip hop dancers prospective analysis Hip hop is a popular form of competitive and recreational sport worldwide, but studies rarely investigate injury prevalence and factors associated with injury occurrence in this sport. This study aimed to prospectively examine injury occurrence in hip hop dancers in a three-month period and to evaluate potential predictors of injury occurrence in hip hop dancers. The participants were 129 competitive hip hop dancers (114 females, 17.95 ± 4.15 years of age). Study predictors were obtained at study baseline and included sociodemographic factors, sport-related factors, previous injury status, anthropometric and body build indices (body height, mass, body mass index, and body composition variables), and dynamic balance performance (obtained by the Star Excursion Balance Test—SEBT). The outcome was injury occurrence, which was prospectively observed once a week by the Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center Overuse Injury Questionnaire (OSTRC). During the course of the study, 101 injuries occurred, equating to an annual injury incidence of 312%. On average, each dancer suffered 0.78 injuries (95% Confidence Interval (95% CI): 0.61–0.97) across a study period of three months (0.76 (95% CI: 0.60–0.95) and 0.93 (95% CI: 0.75–1.13), in females and males, respectively; Mann Whitney Z-value: 0.68, p = 0.52). Seventeen percent of dancers suffered multiple injuries, and 49% of all injuries were time-loss injuries. The knee was the most frequently injured body location (42% of all reported injuries), followed by the back region (32%) and the ankle (15%). Previous injury was a strong predictor of injury occurrence (Odds Ratio: 3.76, 95% CI: 1.87–4.59). Lower injury risk was evidenced among those participants who achieved better scores on several SEBT variables, irrespective of gender and previous injury status; with no significant influence of anthropometric and body build variables on injury occurrence. This study highlighted a high injury rate in hip hop dancers. Dancers and coaches should be informed about the certain protective effects of dynamic balance on the prevention of musculoskeletal injury in hip hop in order to assure safe and effective practices. The usage of SEBT as a convenient and cheap testing procedure is encouraged in other dance disciplines. sport prevalence risk factors protective factors OSTRC šport poškodbe hip hop plesalci dejavniki tveganja za poškodbe true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2021-11-02 14:24:58 2021-11-02 14:24:58 2022-09-12 04:13:37 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2019 0 0 14 str. iss. 17, art. 3214 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/ijerph16173214 1024318254 RAZ_Ursej_Eva_2019.pdf RAZ_Ursej_Eva_2019.pdf 1 2D18106D4C234B3133F4F20830BC3186 0e86ea26e390548edd77990df73c17cc580b7f6ae25edaa00982ea6c3e9f3eef c4b3f70f-3be0-11ec-abdb-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=150456 https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/16/17/3214 0 3beab5d3-3be0-11ec-abdb-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=150455 Fakulteta za šport 0 0 0
