Assessment of body composition and nutritional risks in young ballet dancers – the bioelectrical impedance analysis

Abstract: BackgroundYoung ballet dancers are at risk of health issues associated with altered nutritional status and of relative energy deficiency in sport compared to the general population.AimTo evaluate the nutritional status and body composition in ballet dancers.Materials and methodsThe study group consisted of 40 young ballet dancers (mean age 19.97 years). Height and weight were measured and body mass index was calculated in all subjects (mean BMI value 19.79 kg/m2, SD: 2.051). Body composition was estimated usin… Show more

“…In this established association between BMI-based obesity and severe course of COVID-19, body fat distribution seems to be crucial, with visceral adipose tissue significantly raising the possibility of a more severe course of COVID-19. The recognized interrelation between obesity and severe cases of COVID-19 supports the importance of instruments for risk assessment, not only BMI but also evaluation of waist-to-height ratio, waist circumference, and body composition with bioelectrical impedance analysis (which can evaluate lean and fat mass in physiologic and pathological conditions) [ 45 , 46 ]: a quantification of visceral adipose tissue and upper abdominal circumference could help to phenotype and stratify younger individuals with visceral obesity at higher risk of COVID-19 morbidity and mortality, thus representing a promising strategy for risk assessment in COVID-19 patients. People worldwide should be encouraged to improve their lifestyle in order to reduce risks both in the current and subsequent waves of COVID-19.…”

“…Im professionellen klassischen Bühnentanz (Ballett) ist bei Frauen ein leptosom-graziler Körpertyp der Standard [5]. Das vorgegebene Erscheinungsbild ist bereits in den berufsausbildenden Einrichtungen unerlässlich und für die Aufnahme in die jeweilige Einrichtung entscheidend [30]. Daher stellen bereits die vorgeschalteten schulischen Ausbildungseinrichtungen entsprechende Anforderungen an Körperform, Größe und Gewicht für ihre Bewerber*innen.…”

“…Unter anderem werden zudem dieser Körperform die Prävention von Verletzungen sowie verbesserte Musikalität und Ausdruck zugesprochen [11]. Weiterhin sind Direktor*innen von Kompanien sowie Tanzlehrer*innen und Choreograph*innen von Bedeutung, da sie als Goalkeeper die Personen entsprechend auswählen [11,30]. Da nicht jede Tänzerin von Natur aus über die geforderte Körperform verfügt, zeigen zahlreiche Studien, dass in diesem Fall oft diätische Maßnahmen ergriffen werden, um das geforderte Körpergewicht zu erreichen und zu erhalten [10,63].…”
