What is Adaptation to Repeated Standing-slips in Professional Ballet Dancers about?
Ballet training is being increasingly used to improve physical functions in older adults. Our previous work showed that ballet dancers react to a novel standing-slip more effectively than their non-dancer counterparts through better control of the recovery step and trunk movement. The purpose of this study was to test if and to what extent ballet dancers adapt differently to repeated standing-slips relative to non-dancers. Protected by a harness, twenty young adults (10 professional ballet dancers and 10 age/sex-matched non-dancers) experienced five repeated and standardized standing-slips on a treadmill. Changes from the first slip (S1) to the fifth slip (S5) in dynamic gait stability (primary outcome) and other variables, including the center of mass position and velocity, step latency, slip distance, ankle angle, and trunk angle (secondary outcomes) were compared between groups. Results revealed that both groups adopted similar proactive controls to improve dynamic gait stability by using the ankle and hip strategies. However, dancers showed a better reactive improvement in stability after the repeated slips than non-dancers. From S1 to S5, dancers reactively improved their dyna
