Chronic Inflammation and Neutrophil Activation as Possible Causes of Joint Diseases in Ballet Dancers
Figure 1
Effect of classical ballet on muscle lesion markers. Serum concentrations of CK-NAC (a), CK-MB (b), and LDH (c) in dancers were determined before, immediately after, and 18 hours after a ballet class. The values are presented as mean ± standard error of 13 dancers and are presented as relative unit (UR). Figures were plotted with the data of the variations in markers during a ballet class, thus indicating the normalization between the values of before and after a ballet class. for comparison to preclass condition and for comparison to immediately after ballet class condition.
