Método de avaliação dinâmica do alinhamento articular dos membros inferiores de bailarinos durante o passo plié do ballet clássico

Gontijo, Kaanda Nabilla Souza January 2012 (has links)
O passo plié é um dos mais importantes do ballet clássico e sua execução incorreta, no que tange aos desalinhamentos articulares dos membros inferiores, pode vir a gerar lesões musculoesqueléticas em quadris, joelhos, tornozelos e pés dos bailarinos. Caracterizado pela flexão simultânea das articulações coxofemorais, femorotibiais e talocrurais, o plié deve ser executado com a manutenção da rotação externa de coxofemorais ou en dehors, sem que se faça, para isso, a rotação externa da tíbia e ou do pé de maneira compensatória. Segundo os preceitos técnicos, uma correta execução de todas as fases do passo plié deve contar com: (1) a estabilização do arco longitudinal do pé ou do médio pé; (2) o posicionamento e a estabilização da pelve na posição neutra; e (3) o alinhamento entre o joelho e o 2º dedo do pé ipsilateral. Estes critérios devem ser repetidamente trabalhados para que a bailarina(o) consiga, gradualmente, atingir a plenitude de linhas e amplitudes de movimento exigidas pela modalidade. Até onde se tem conhecimento, não se encontrou registro de qualquer instrumento avaliativo que auxilie metodologicamente os profissionais que lidam com o público de bailarinos a corrigirem e ou identificarem problemas compensatórios na execução do passo plié. Diante, portanto, da importância da manutenção dos critérios técnicos ao executar o passo plié e visando auxiliar no processo ensinoaprendizagem- treinamento de maneira tanto preventiva como por meio da reabilitação daquelas lesões já instaladas, os objetivos desta dissertação foram: (1) aprimorar a versão inicial do MADAAMI, introduzindo a avaliação pélvica dos bailarinos durante o passo plié, e realizar a sua validação interna (validade de conteúdo, reprodutibilidade intra e inter-avaliador); (2) determinar valores de referência cinemáticos correspondentes a uma execução adequada do passo, sem compensações articulares prejudiciais, seguindo as orientações técnicas do ballet clássico e os mesmos critérios avaliados pelo MADAAMI; e (3) identificar a concordância entre a avaliação realizada pelo MADAAMI (método qualitativo) e a avaliação cinemática (método quantitativo) do passo plié, com base nos critérios técnicos do ballet clássico. Vinte bailarinas foram avaliadas, simultaneamente, pelo MAADAMI (que consiste em uma filmagem, com uma única câmera, de bailarinos executando o passo plié e uma planilha de pontuação que avalia os critérios técnicos do passo) e pela avaliação cinemática 3D (por meio de quatro câmeras de vídeo sincronizadas entre si, estando os membros inferiores com 22 marcadores reflexivos situados em pontos anatômicos específicos). Após a reconstrução da imagem, no software Dvideow, foram obtidos valores de referência que permitiram classificar as bailarinas segundo os critérios técnicos da correta execução do passo plié. A análise estatística foi realizada no software SPSS 18.0, por meio do Coeficiente Kappa e Percentual de Concordância. Os resultados demonstraram que: (1) na validação interna, o MAADAMI apresenta validade de conteúdo, segundo avaliação de 12 experts no assunto; e apresenta índices satisfatórios de reprodutibilidade intra-avaliador, sendo indicado o seu uso na íntegra por um mesmo avaliador. O uso do MAADAMI por mais de um avaliador somente é recomendada na versão short (pois os índices satisfatórios de reprodutibilidade inter-avaliador foram encontrados apenas nos critérios: “joelho alinhado” na 1ª e na 2ª posição de pés e “médio pé estável” apenas na 1ª posição de pés na etapa “estática” da fase “com joelhos estendidos” antes do demi plié); (2) os valores de referência cinemáticos permitiram a quantificação angular e métrica dos critérios da correta execução do passo plié; e (3) na validação de concordância, os critérios do MAADAMI, para avaliar o passo plié, apresentaram concordância com os valores de referência da avaliação cinemática, com exceção da avaliação do critério “descrição da posição da pelve”. A presente dissertação apresenta, também, um capítulo de revisão de literatura sobre a técnica do ballet clássico, a fisiologia articular, o passo plié e suas lesões associadas. Conclui-se, a partir dos resultados encontrados, que o MADAAMI caracteriza-se como uma metodologia válida e reprodutível para a avaliação dinâmica do alinhamento articular dos membros inferiores de bailarinos executando o passo plié de ballet clássico. / Step plié is one of the most important steps of classical ballet and its incorrect execution, in relation to lower limb joint misalignments, could generate musculoskeletal injuries in hips, knees, ankles and feet of dancers. Characterized by simultaneous flexion of the hip joints, femorotibiais and talocrurais, the plié should be performed with maintaining the external rotation of hip or en dehors, without make up for that the external rotation of the tibia and foot in a compensatory manner. According to the precepts technicians, a correct execution of all the phases of step plié must have: (1) the stabilization of the longitudinal arch of the foot or middle-foot; (2) positioning and stabilizing the pelvis in the neutral position; and (3) alignment between the knee and the second toe ipsilateral. These criteria must be repeatedly worked for the dancer can gradually attain the fullness of lines and ranges of motion required by the modality. As far as we are aware, there was no record of any assessment tool that assists methodologically professionals who deal with dancers that could identify and correct the compensatory problems of plié step. Given, therefore, the importance of maintaining the technical criteria to perform step plié and aiming to help in the instruction-learning-training process, so both preventive and through rehabilitation of those injuries already installed, the objectives of this dissertation were: (1) Enhance the initial release of MADAAMI, introducing the evaluation of pelvic dancers during step plié, and perform internal validation (content validity, intra and inter-rater reproducibility); (2) determine kinematic reference values corresponding to a proper execution of the step, without compensation articular harmful, following the guidelines of classical ballet technique and the same criteria evaluated by MADAAMI; and (3) identify the correlation between evaluation by MADAAMI (qualitative method) and kinematic evaluation (quantitative method) from plié step, based on technical criteria of classical ballet. Twenty dancers were evaluated simultaneously by MAADAMI (consisting of a video with a single camera, of dancers performing plié step and a score sheet that evaluates the technical criteria of the step) and by 3D kinematic evaluating (through four video cameras synchronized together, being lower limbs with 22 reflective markers placed on specific anatomical landmarks). After image reconstruction, in Dvideow software, reference values were obtained that allowed classify the dancers according to technical criteria for correct execution of plié step. Statistical analysis was performed in SPSS 18.0 software, through Kappa Coefficient and Percentage of Agreement. The results showed that: (1) in the internal validation, according to an evaluation of 12 experts in the subject, MAADAMI presents content validity; and has satisfactory levels of intra-rater reproducibility, and its use is indicated in its entirety by the same examiner. The use of MAADAMI by more than one evaluator is only recommended in the short version (because satisfactory levels of inter-rater reproducibility were found only on the criteria: “aligned knee” in 1st and 2nd feet position and “stable midfoot” only in 1st position of feet in “static” step, “with knees straight” stage before demi plié); (2) the kinematic reference values allowed the angular and metric quantification criteria of the correct execution of plié step; and (3) in validation of agreement, to evaluate plié step, the MAADAMI criteria, showed agreement with the reference values of the kinematic evaluation, except the evaluation criterion “description of pelvis position”. This dissertation also presents a chapter of literature review about the technique of classical ballet, the articular physiology, plié step and their associated injuries. It is concluded from the results found that MADAAMI is characterized as a valid and reproducible methodology for the dynamic evaluation of the joint alignment of the lower limbs in dancers executing plié step in classical ballet.

Practice in Partnering

January 2017 (has links)
abstract: Exploration of Practice in Partnering is a curriculum-based, research thesis, focused on the investigation of the potential impact of studying multiple forms of dance partnering through a constructivist learning lens. The primary goal was to discover concepts and practices that underlie effective dance partnering. The study was conducted in a 15-week university dance course that provided a survey of partnering dance forms taught by the researcher who is versed in the chosen forms. In addition to professional knowledge and experience, the researcher includes theory and pedagogy from his graduate coursework. Teaching frameworks and learning experiences for the study were informed by somatics and constructivist pedagogy; a student-centered approach to learning in which students might find knowledge and meaning through experience. The research documented in this thesis may be methodologically described as a case study and the data collection methods were qualitative. Due to IRB limitations, the data set draws only from biweekly journal entries from a class of eleven students, in addition to the researcher’s observation of students. Data streams from student journal entries were analyzed and interpreted using common protocols. Guiding questions for the research study included: How do students currently understand and perceive partnering? How do leader and follower roles play a part in dance partnering? What commonalities of partnering exist between different dance forms? Data gathered from the research revealed that each individual student’s understanding and definition of dance partnering changed over the course of the semester and students found increased meaning in their partnering interactions. / Dissertation/Thesis / Masters Thesis Dance 2017

Living with Parkinsonism : does dance help improve the quality of movement, functions and everyday activities?

McGill, Ashley January 2016 (has links)
The following thesis aims to understand the physical, mental, emotional, and social benefits of a weekly ballet class for people living with Parkinson’s. Although dance has shown to be a beneficial activity for this group of people, recent research has placed a strong emphasis on the physical benefits. There is a lack of research looking at how participation in dance may also impact upon activities of daily living and level of participation in society. The present thesis proposes a new framework for dance for Parkinson’s research that places equal emphasis on these factors while also recognising how personal and environmental contextual factors may play a role in how the dance classes are experienced. To assess changes across a two-year time period the study used a mixed methods approach and used a control group of people with Parkinson’s who did not take part in dance. Quantitative assessments included biomechanical measures of gait (step and stride variability, trunk coordination, and trunk range of motion), the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), the Activities-Specific Balance Confidence (ABC) scale, and the Dance for Parkinson’s Questionnaire (DPQ). Qualitative assessments included one-to-one semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, informal conversations with participants, and observation of the ballet classes. Quantitative results demonstrated a lack of significant physiological change when assessing the group as a whole. However, individual case studies revealed that some dancing participants saw clinically meaningful change across time with respect to variables assessing physical functioning. Qualitative data demonstrated that participants valued the ballet classes for a variety of reasons. Comments from interviews and group discussions showed that the social inclusion, the level of enjoyment gained from moving to music, the cultural and educational experiences were all reasons why participants continued to attend the classes and gain benefit from them. Although the present thesis did not demonstrate significant physical benefit from the weekly ballet classes, qualitative data suggests that participants gained important psychological, social, and emotional benefit as a result of participating in this programme.

Evaluación de la dieta, composición corporal y condición física de las estudiantes de la Escuela Nacional de Ballet, 2013

Chueca García Pye, Teresa, Soria Sevilla, Marinés 01 December 2014 (has links)
Introduction: The lack of research regarding nutrition, anthropometry and physical condition within the dance field in Peru is due to the fact that ballet is not considered a sportive activity, despite the increase of energy and nutrients requirements Therefore, this research pretends to be one of the first approaches to contribute to sportive nutrition. Purpose: Describe the association among diet, body composition and physical condition, especially for the dance of the National Superior Ballet School (ENSB) ballet students in Peru. Design: Observational descriptive-analytical crosswise study, carried out at the ENSB of Peru between October and December 2013. Materials and Methods: There were evaluated the anthropometry, nutrients consumption and physical condition of 60 students between 11 and 18 years old that belong to the Early Academic Training program (FAT) of the ENSB. An anthropometric protocol of 11 measures was applied to calculate the body composition indicators. The consumption of nutrients was evaluated through a 24-hour food diary survey, comparing it to the Dietary Recommended Intakes for energy, macro & micro nutrients. The aerobic condition was evaluated considering the maximum heart rate percentages (%MHR) obtained during the application of the Dance Specific Fitness Test (DSFT), and the explosive strength of the lower limbs was evaluated with the horizontal jump test and the percentiles jump/age for the Peruvian teenager population. The data was analyzed with the software STATA v.12.1® (StataCorp LP.TXT.USA). Results: Ballet students presented a deficit of Kcal (8.3%), fat (5%), vitamin E (3,3%), calcium (6,7%), carbohydrates (20%) and proteins consumption. There was an adequate consumption of iron (93,3%) and vitamin C (96,7%). The more adequate percentage for the consumption of proteins (r=-0,26; p=0,049), calcium (r=-0,31; p=0,015) and iron (r=-0,33; p=0,011), the less presence of total body fat mass. The more adequate percentage for the consumption of proteins(r=0,32; p=0,014), zinc (r=0,27; p=0,039), iron (r=0,34; p=0,009) and folic acid (r=0,33; p=0,011), the greater percentage of muscle mass. A relation between diet and physical condition was found, specifically between the iron consumption (r=-0,27; p=0,040) and the aerobic capacity. Conclusions: No significant associations were found between body composition and physical condition or between diet and lower limbs explosive strength; however there was found a significant relation between aerobic condition and body composition. These results require greater research involving ballet students, where biochemical and VO2 measurements are included. / Introducción: La ausencia de investigación en nutrición, antropometría y condición física, en el campo de la danza en el Perú, se debe a que el ballet no es considerado una actividad deportiva, a pesar del incremento del requerimiento de energía y nutrientes. Por ello, esta investigación pretende ser una de las primeras aproximaciones que contribuya en la nutrición deportiva. Objetivo: Describir la asociación entre la dieta, la composición corporal y la condición física especial para la danza de las estudiantes de ballet de Escuela Nacional Superior de Ballet (ENSB) en Perú. Diseño: Estudio observacional, transversal, descriptivo-analítico; realizado en la ENSB de Perú entre los meses de octubre y diciembre de 2013. Materiales y métodos: Se evaluó antropometría, consumo de nutrientes y condición física de 60 estudiantes, entre los 11 y 18 años, pertenecientes a la formación académica temprana (FAT) de la ENSB. Se aplicó un protocolo antropométrico de 11 mediciones para calcular los indicadores de la composición corporal. El consumo de nutrientes se evaluó mediante recordatorio de 24 horas comparándolo con los Dietary Recommended Intakes (DRI’s) para energía, macro y micronutrientes. La condición aeróbica se evaluó a partir de los porcentajes de frecuencia cardiaca máxima (%FCM), obtenida durante la aplicación del Dance Specific Fitness Test (DSFT), y la fuerza explosiva de miembros inferiores, evaluada con el test de salto horizontal y los percentiles salto/edad para la población adolescente peruana. El análisis de datos fue realizado con el software STATA v.12.1® (StataCorp LP.TXT.USA). Resultados: Se encontró un déficit del consumo de Kcal (8,3%), grasas (5%), vitamina E (3,3%), calcio (6,7%), carbohidratos (20%) y proteínas (46,7%), en la estudiantes de ballet. Hubo un consumo adecuado de hierro (93,3%) y vitamina C (96,7%). A mayor porcentaje de adecuación del consumo de proteínas (r=-0,26; p=0,049), calcio (r=-0,31; p=0,015) y hierro (r=-0,33; p=0,011), hubo menor presencia de masa grasa corporal total. A mayor porcentaje de adecuación del consumo de proteínas (r=0,32; p=0,014), zinc (r=0,27; p=0,039), hierro (r=0,34; p=0,009) y folato (r=0,33; p=0,011), hubo mayor porcentaje de masa muscular. Se halló una relación entre la dieta y la condición física, específicamente entre el consumo de hierro (r=-0,27; p=0,040) y la capacidad aeróbica. Conclusiones: No se hallaron asociaciones significativas entre la composición corporal y la condición física ni entre la dieta y la fuerza explosiva de miembros inferiores, mas sí una relación significativa entre la dieta con la condición aeróbica y la composición corporal. Estos resultados requieren de mayores investigaciones en estudiantes de ballet, donde se incluyan evaluaciones bioquímicas y medición de VO2

Performing Whiteness: An Interdisciplinary Analysis of Racism in Ballet

Rodriguez D., Maria Angelica January 2021 (has links)
This thesis is a study of race and ethnicity in culture and the arts. It discusses whiteness and racism in ballet and addresses a gap in the literature for both disciplines Ballet and Race and Ethnic Studies. Even if ballet is a privileged art form that for centuries has served statecraft, survived revolutions, and political instability the problem of race in ballet is jeopardizing its validity and acceptance in the contemporary world. I ask if racism in ballet is more than behaviors, if it designates ideology, or if it is a matter of visuality and aesthetics. I do this to provide insight into how race is projected in and through the art form in question. The need to transcend the scope of a single discipline brought me to adopt interdisciplinary research to analyze ballet right at the intersection with crossing perspectives linked to the body, aesthetics, performance, privilege, race, and gender. The thesis shows that ballet gives material expression to whiteness as ideology and is compliant with an exclusive approach to an idea of the body and beauty that presupposes racist attitudes and behaviors. At the institutional level, the experience of ballet is whiteness -unnamed, unmarked, universal. But for those bodies outside the constructs of whiteness, the experience is marked by racism and objective barriers. The study informs that an exclusive discourse of the body, often disguised as aesthetic discourse, translates into limited access to ballet education, body shaming, harassment, and fewer job opportunities. However, ballet is an art form, it is more than whiteness or racism. It creates beauty in the body of the dancer which is both instrument and object of art. Ballet dancers invest their lives learning and performing an art form that some other people cherish, but how come a space of whiteness and racism is perceived as beautiful? The thesis elucidates the importance of this reflection also.
