Efeitos do exercício resistido para a melhora da performance de bailarinas de ballet clássico: uma revisão integrativa

Abstract

Abstract - Objective: To analyze the effects of the lack of resistance training on the performance of classical ballet dancers. Method: An integrative literature review study, with a qualitative approach, conducted through the analysis of scientific articles published between 2021 and 2025, selected from the Web of Science database using the PICo strategy. Results: Seven studies were included that investigated interventions related to strength training, neuromuscular training, and performance in classical ballet, showing that the absence of resistance training is associated with reduced muscle strength, power, and joint stability, compromising the execution of technical movements such as jumps, turns, and landings, in addition to increasing fatigue and predisposition to musculoskeletal injuries. On the other hand, the inclusion of strengthening programs demonstrated improved physical performance, postural control, proprioception, and injury prevention. Conclusions: The lack of resistance training negatively impacts the performance and health of ballet dancers, making its planned, specific, and systematic inclusion in the physical preparation for classical ballet essential.
