Abstract (eng)
The aim of this study is to investigate the preventive effects of Pilates exercise for contemporary dancers. The main research question is to determine whether Pilates exercise has value as an adjunctive exercise. Among contemporary dancers, the major injury parts are reported to be in the lower extremities, particularly the ankles and knees. This study examines the factors and causes of injuries and, by suggesting appropriate exercise directions, aims to investigate the effects of Pilates exercise and validate its effectiveness through previous studies on exercise rehabilitation. The conclusion of this study suggests that Pilates exercise can help reduce ankle instability and improve functional range of motion, indicating its impact on other joints as well according to the principles of the muscle chain. Therefore, Pilates exercise demonstrates utility as a rehabilitation or injury prevention program for lower extremity injuries.
