Equilíbrio e alterações posturais de praticantes de balé clássico

Abstract

The classic ballet is an art that requires many physical skills and professional training. Displayed by elaborated movements, the repetition of these movements can promote the acquisition of some postural habits and also to lose some balance. The posture is essential for one, and can be defined by a position or body behavior. The balance is the ability to control it`s own body. The aim was to revise studies about the balance and postures modification in the Ballet Dancers. It was done a bibliographic assessment based on Scielo, Lilacs and Academic Google, taking in consideration the periods between 1981 and 2014. It was selected 13 articles capable to supply innumerous information able to assess the balance and the body postures modifications on the Ballet Dancers. The revised literature shows that the practice of Classic Ballet has the potential to develop body modifications such as hyperlordosis, knee hyperextension, pelvic anteversion, pelvic retroversion and the balance did not have any relevant postural modification in relation to the practice of Ballet.
