Description
Summary:Pole Dance is a physical activity, which involves music, motor coordination, movements from dance and gymnastics. Due to some of these characteristics inherent to all of the body practices and sport practices, as of movement repetition, volume, intensity, train charge, the regular practice of pole dance can cause lesions. This study aimed to identify the most common injuries originated from the pole dance practice. A quiz, adapted to the pole dance activity was applied to 30 Pole Dancers (PD) who practice this activity for at least 12 months, average age 28.5 years old. Through the analysis of the answers obtained, a profile that repeats itself was identified in the injuries reported: 65% have already hurt themselves during a pole dance training session, and the upper limbs are the most affected by the injuries.
