EXERCISE PRESCRIPTION FOR INJURY REDUCTION IN BALLROOM DANCING

Abstract

ABSTRACT Introduction: Ballroom dancing is a high-intensity sport. Exaggerated training plans and an overtraining range can easily cause sports injuries. Athletes should take the necessary protective measures when training or competing, including exercises with preventative intent. Objective: This research paper thoroughly investigates the current status of ballroom dance injuries in colleges and universities. Methods: This research selects 28 students who majored in ballroom dancing as experimental subjects. The volunteers were divided into a control group and an experimental group. The experimental group received an exercise prescription for 12 weeks of exercise. The control group did not do any exercise for 12 weeks. Injury statistics were performed after a 12-week comparative trial. The effect of exercise prescription on injury reduction in ballroom dancing was discussed. Results: The incidence of sports injuries in the experimental group decreased significantly after 12 weeks (P<0.01). Compared to the control group, the incidence of muscle, ligament and joint injuries in the experimental group was significantly lower (P<0.01). The waist and ankle injuries incidence in the experimental group was lower than in the control group, and the data had significant differences (P<0.01). Conclusion: Dance athletes who choose the appropriate exercise prescription can effectively reduce the likelihood of injuries during training. Training can effectively improve performance in athletic competitions. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
