- Bone mineral density in vocational and professional ballet dancersPublication . Amorim, T.; Koutedakis, Y.; Nevill, A.; Wyon, M.; Maia, J.; Machado, J. C.; Marques, F.; Metsios, G.S.; Flouris, A.D.; Adubeiro, Nuno; Nogueira, L.; Dimitriou, L.According to existing literature, bone health in ballet dancers is controversial. We have verified that, compared to controls, young female and male vocational ballet dancers have lower bone mineral density (BMD) at both impact and non-impact sites, whereas female professional ballet dancers have lower BMD only at non-impact sites.
- Genetic variation in Wnt/β-catenin and ER signalling pathways in female and male elite dancers and its associations with low bone mineral density: a cross-section and longitudinal studyPublication . Amorim, T.; Durães, C.; Machado, J. C.; Metsios, G. S.; Wyon, M.; Maia, J.; Flouris, A. D.; Marques, F.; Nogueira, Luisa; Adubeiro, Nuno; Koutedakis, Y.The association of genetic polymorphisms with low bone mineral density in elite athletes have not been considered previously. The present study found that bone mass phenotypes in elite and pre-elite dancers are related to genetic variants at the Wnt/β-catenin and ER pathways.
