Article Synopsis
- Dance training leads to unique adaptations in strength and muscle stiffness due to the high volume of stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) actions dancers perform.
- A study compared 8 trained dancers with 8 untrained individuals, measuring their muscular force and stiffness in the lower legs.
- The results showed that dancers had greater strength and stiffness, suggesting that dance training enhances muscle force generation and overall performance capability.
