Dancers' Journey to Higher Jumps : A Self-Study Using Scientific Research and Data

Abstract

The thesis investigated the impact of short supplementary training on dancers' jump height. Using scientific research, a comprehensive training program was developed and implemented, targeting various muscles to enhance jump height, control, and prevent injuries. The work explores how task-specific supplementary training can enhance neural connections and coordination, leading to quicker improvements in performance. The findings suggest that integrating structured strength and conditioning programs in dance schools can accelerate development, reduce injuries, enhance aesthetics, and extend dance careers.
