CHPS RESEARCH STUDIES

Core Musculature and Balance of Dancers

We are inviting dancers to participate in a research study exploring the relationship between core muscle thickness and balance in dancers. During a single 75-minute session, you will complete a brief survey, have your height, weight, and body composition measured (not shared with you), and take part in dance-specific exercises while musculoskeletal ultrasound and force plate data are collected. Your involvement may help researchers better understand how core muscle thickness affects balance in dancers, potentially informing future approaches to injury prevention in dance.

Inclusion Qualifications:

At least 14 years old
- Individuals under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent
Have at least 3 years of ballet experience
Currently practice dance technique
- At least 1 hour per week over the past 6 months
