The Development and Reliability of an Updated Dance-Specific Star Excursion Balance Test Protocol.

While the previous research has made crucial developments in a dance-specific version of the SEBT, current modifications to the SEBT have not conclusively produced a valid dance-specific dynamic balance test. The aim of this paper was to utilize the most practical dance-specific variations from previous research and incorporate them into a reliable test to be considered for future screenings for dancers. Twenty-one female dancers voluntarily took part in the research (age: 20.

Developing the Temporal and Order Characteristics of a Dance-Specific Star Excursion Balance Test (dsSEBT).

Background: Previous studies have made crucial steps toward developing a dance-specific balance test to challenge dancer's balance capabilities wherein positional characteristics, timing, as well as reach order were altered. However, the authentic performance nature of the protocols could be questioned.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine the effects of different tempo and order variations on the previously developed Dance-Specific Star Excursion Balance Test (dsSEBT).

Developing the Positional Characteristics of a Dance-Specific Star Excursion Balance Test (dsSEBT).

Current dynamic balance tests do not sufficiently test all aspects of balance required for dancers in everyday training and performances. The aim of this study was to examine alterations to the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) to ensure a more dance-specific protocol. Twenty-four healthy ballet and contemporary dancers (age: 22.
