Choreography-Specific Cross-Training and Conditioning Programs.

Choreography-Specific Cross-Training and Conditioning Programs. Phys Med Rehabil Clin N Am. 2021 Feb;32(1):103-115 Authors: Faulkner E Abstract Because of increased choreographic demands, early specialization, multi-genre dancers, and high incidence of career-ending injuries, there is a need for enhanced training methodologies to address the unique needs of today's professional dancer. It is imperative for company directors, instructors, choreographers, and dance medicine practitioners to consider implementing the most specific conditioning and training programs to prepare their dancers to meet or exceed expectations without resultant injury. Quantifying effectiveness of choreography-specific training programs is an area for further research. The implementation of scientific principles can and should be used to enhance dancers' health, performance, athleticism, and artistry. PMID: 33198890 [PubMed - in process]
