Researchers at Goethe University Frankfurt have now provided the first precise measurements of strain on the musculoskeletal system. The study involved 28 professional dancers wearing sensor-equipped suits during ballet training. The data revealed high levels of strain across all phases of training. The findings support the development of injury prevention measures and highlight the high physical demands of the profession.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ballet is an art of illusion: dancers seem to float across the stage and, in their leaps, appear to defy gravity for a moment. The effort behind this lightness and grace usually remains invisible to audiences. \u201cProfessional dance is a high-performance sport,\u201d says Professor Eileen Wanke of the Institute of Occupational, Social and Environmental Medicine at Goethe University Frankfurt. \u201cIt requires exceptional physical control and athleticism, developed through many years of intensive training.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wanke brings personal experience to this research, having previously performed as a professional dancer. Today, she examines her former field from a medical perspective. The physical demands of training, rehearsals, and performances take a clear toll: around half of all dancers experience at least one occupational accident each year. Common injuries include strains and sprains affecting the legs, ankles, and feet, as well as lower back problems. Many continue working despite pain, driven by their commitment to the profession. By their late twenties, 25 percent have already developed osteoarthritis \u2013 a high number compared to well below 5 percent in the general population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/aktuelles.uni-frankfurt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/beitragsbild-dancersimulator-c-eileen-wanke.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-87755\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aktuelles.uni-frankfurt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/beitragsbild-dancersimulator-c-eileen-wanke.jpg 650w, https:\/\/aktuelles.uni-frankfurt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/beitragsbild-dancersimulator-c-eileen-wanke-300x208.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aktuelles.uni-frankfurt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/beitragsbild-dancersimulator-c-eileen-wanke-500x346.jpg 500w, https:\/\/aktuelles.uni-frankfurt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/beitragsbild-dancersimulator-c-eileen-wanke-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The dancers\u2019 special suits transmit the movements of various body parts to a computer, where the stresses are analyzed.

The new study addresses this gap and was conducted in collaboration with the German Dance Film Institute Bremen and the accident insurance institutions of North Rhine-Westphalia, Hesse, and Lower Saxony. For data collection, Wanke and her team \u2013 together with Austrian physicist and biomechanist Dr. Christian Maurer-Grubinger \u2013 used an innovative method: 16 female and 12 male dancers from Oldenburg State Theater and Theater Kiel wore sensor-equipped suits during training. These recorded acceleration and body positioning for the head, torso, arms, wrists, legs, and feet at a rate of 240 measurements per second. The data were transmitted wirelessly to a computer for analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe used a system widely applied in occupational medicine to assess physical strain,\u201d Wanke explains. \u201cTypically, trained observers evaluate characteristic movements in specific professions, for example through video analysis. In our approach, data are instead captured by a program developed specifically for this project.\u201d Each movement or posture is assigned a score: the greater the strain on joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons, the higher the \u201cRapid Entire Body Assessment\u201d \u2013 or REBA \u2013 score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Risk of injury during training<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur participants spent more than 60 percent of their training time in a moderate-risk, and a further 30 percent in a high-risk range,\u201d Wanke says. Even during training, the level of risk is therefore considerable \u2013 although training is intended not only to maintain technique but also to prevent injuries. Female dancers spent more time in higher-risk ranges than their male counterparts and were thus exposed, on average, to greater ergonomic stress. This may partly be explained by differences in body structure, meaning that certain movements or postures place greater strain on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Classical dance training has changed little over the past 300 years. It follows a three-phase structure: Phase 1 consists of exercises at the barre, while Phases 2 and 3 take place in open space \u2013 beginning with slow movement sequences, followed by pirouettes, and culminating in large jumps. As the training progresses, the exercises become increasingly dynamic, placing greater demands on the cardiovascular system as well as on concentration, coordination, and physical control. \u201cStudies show that concentration tends to decline in Phase 3, leading to more frequent errors and inaccuracies,\u201d explains Wanke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Optimization opportunities<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, the data suggest that particularly demanding dynamic exercises should be scheduled earlier in training sessions, as is common in other sports. Training could also be adapted in a more gender-specific way to reflect differing physical demands. Organizational changes at performance venues may further help reduce the risk of injury and wear-related conditions. During jumps, bones, muscles, and joints are subjected to high forces \u2013 especially upon landing. Specialized dance floors can significantly reduce this strain. While many institutions have such flooring in training spaces, rehearsal and performance stages often still lack it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Existing flooring may be further optimized. However, which structural measures are most effective in reducing forces in dance has not yet been systematically studied. \u201cThis would be an important focus for future research,\u201d Wanke concludes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#eeeeee\"><strong>Publication:<\/strong> Verena Fehringer, Christian Maurer-Grubinger, Fabian Holzgreve, Daniela Ohlendorf, Eileen M.
