Dancers' secret weapon: 12-Week strength program boosts performance

This study looked at how a 12-week strength and power training program affects movement patterns, leg strength, and dance performance in 30 healthy college sports dancers. Participants were split into two groups: one did strength training three times a week, and the other did not. The researchers measured things like balance, muscle strength, and dance quality at several points during the study. The goal was to see if adding strength training helps dancers perform better and move more safely.
