- 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.
