Objetivou-se analisar a percepção de imagem corporal, estado nutricional e sintomas de transtornos alimentares de bailarinos. Por conveniência, participaram 156 bailarinos do 31º Festival de Dança de Joinville, fazendo-se uso de um questionário autoaplicável (variáveis sociodemográficas, antropométricas, percepção da imagem corporal e sintomas de transtornos da alimentação). Utilizou-se estatística descritiva e inferencial: testes U-Mann Whitney e teste "t" de Student, regressão logística multinomial, análises bruta e ajustada. A maioria das mulheres possuía ensino superior (65%), estava sem companheiro (60%), pertencia ao nível econômico alto (83%) e realizavam balé clássico (74%), enquanto entre os homens o destaque foi para danças urbanas (48%). A prevalência de insatisfação com a imagem corporal foi de 72%, em que os homens encontravam-se mais insatisfeitos pela magreza, enquanto as mulheres estavam insatisfeitas pelo excesso de peso; 21% e 75% dos bailarinos apresentaram sintomas de anorexia e bulimia nervosas, respectivamente. Os bailarinos da modalidade dança contemporânea apresentaram maiores sintomas de anorexia nervosa. Associação negativa foi observada entre insatisfação pela magreza, sexo e sintomas da bulimia nervosa. Os bailarinos com sintomas de bulimia nervosa apresentaram 1,94 vezes mais chance de estarem insatisfeitos pela magreza. As mulheres e os bailarinos com sintomas de anorexia nervosa apresentaram, respectivamente 3,8 e 5,7 vezes mais chances de estarem insatisfeitas pelo excesso de peso quando comparadas aos homens e bailarinos sem sintomas de anorexia nervosa. Concluiu-se que as variáveis estudadas possuíam relação entre si e a percepção da imagem corporal pode estar associada à presença de sintomas de transtornos alimentares.

Body image is multidimensional, dynamic, and entirely linked to the body in motion, which entails relevant bodily concerns in the routine of professional dancers, who need to maintain their body aesthetics constantly. The objective was summarizing the scientific production on the body image of professional dancers and to understand how they perceive it. This review is composed by seven studies that investigated professional dancers of classical ballet, jazz and contemporary dance. The results demonstrate that even though they are lean and had appropriate body mass index, professional dancers are dissatisfied with their body and wish to be thinner, that is, professional dancers constitute a risk group for the development of eating disorders.Keywords: dancing; body image; feeding and eating disorders. RESUMO

ARTIGO DE REVISÃO | REVIEW ARTICLE RESUMO ABSTRACTThis systematic review aimed to analyze the original studies that investigated the level of physical activity (PA) self-reported, and the benefits and associated factors among women in treatment or after treatment for breast cancer (BC). In this way, the search was performed in electronic databases PubMed, Web of Science, Science Direct, OVID and Health Virtual Library used the descriptors [physical activity] AND [breast cancer] in English, Spanish and Portuguese. 21 studies published in English were included, between 2004 and 2014. We could find that most of the women did not reached the recommendations of PA posttreatment, there were no findings related to the prevalence of PA during treatment of BC . Noted an association between PA practice level with age, BMI, education, ethnicity, BC stage, menopause, associated comorbidities, smoking, body image, depressive symptoms and presence of fatigue. Higher incidence of PA to walk was associated with improved quality of life (QOL), decreased level of fatigue and depressive symptoms.

Movement is a fundamental element of dance, and the dancer's body is the raw material through which the art of dance is expressed; for this, it demands the utmost discipline in the pursuit of technical and artistic excellence. To meet the professional demands, dancers are subjected to strenuous training routines, which can lead to the development of injuries in this environment. The objective was to examine the etiology, main affected segments, prevalence, and instruments used to evaluate the lesions in studies with professional dancers and/ or in comparison with similar populations. We selected articles published in the last decade in the databases BIREME, LILACS, MEDLINE EBSCO, WEB OF SCIENCE, SCOPUS (Elsevier), and PubMed, with cross-sectional, observational cohort and case control design published in Portuguese, English, or Spanish. Systematic reviews, case studies, dissertations, theses, book chapters, cross-referenced articles, and studies published outside of the last decade were not included. The search used combinations of the terms "dancing* and athletic injuries* and musculoskeletal* and pain*". A principal investigator and two reviewers conducted the survey and analyzed all the potentially relevant articles, initially by the abstract and title. Twelve articles were included, with 1,149 participants (965 professional dancers of classical ballet, modern dance, contemporary dance, and breakdance, 104 amateur dancers, and 80 elite athletes). Nine studies found simultaneous lesions with emphasis on the foot and ankle (n=4), upper and lower limbs lesions (n=4) and lower and upper limb joints (n=1). Other studies have found lesions in the anterior cruciate ligament (n=3). There was no agreement regarding the instruments for detecting lesions in professional, pre-professional, and amateur dancers. There was a prevalence of studies aimed at classical ballet modality, evidencing a higher frequency of lower limb involvement in professional dancers. Keywords Nove estudos encontraram lesões simultâneas com ênfase no pé e tornozelo (n = 4), lesões dos membros superiores e inferiores (n = 4) e nas articulações de membros inferiores e superiores (n = 1). Outros estudos encontraram lesões no ligamento cruzado anterior (n = 3). Não houve consenso quanto aos instrumentos para identificação de lesões em bailarinos profissionais, pré-profissionais e amadores. Houve prevalência de estudos destinados à modalidade de balé clássico, evidenciando maior frequência de acometimento dos membros inferiores em bailarinos profissionais.Descritores: dança; atletas/lesões; movimento. RESUMEN La danza tiene el movimiento como elemento fundamental y el cuerpo del bailarín como materia prima para expresar su arte; para ello, exige la máxima disciplina en la búsqueda de la excelencia técnica y artística. Para atender las demandas profesionales, los bailarines son sometidos a extenuantes rutinas de entrenamiento, que favorecen el desarrollo de lesiones en ese medio.

The search for movement plasticity causes dancers to seek to achieve and maintain low body weight, which can lead to dissatisfaction with their body image and to eating disorders. The purpose of this study was to analyze body image satisfaction and the presence of eating disorders and associated factors in professional ballroom dancers in Brazil. Three hundred and twenty dancers took part via a self-reported questionnaire. The majority of the dancers proved to be dissatisfied with their body image; the increase with age of body mass index (BMI) influenced the dissatisfaction due to excess weight. It is concluded that body image is associated with eating disorders, age, and BMI in ballroom dancers.
