How can dancers benefit from strength training
One study that focused on full-time, pre-professional dancers found that 86% of the athletes sustained one or more injuries within one academic year. Not only is this one of the highest rates of injury in athletics, but it's also one of the most consistently high rates.
As you'd expect, the majority of dance-related problems affect the feet and ankles, but dancers can also sustain lower back, hip and knee injuries. Repetitive practice of movements and routines may cause participants to get sprains, strains, stress fractures and tendon injuries.
