Injuries associated with aerobic dance.
Overuse injuries, often related to training errors, inappropriate footgear, poor floor surface and biomechanical factors, are by far the most common injuries in aerobic dance enthusiasts. Rest, ice applications and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs provide pain relief. Combined with attention to precipitating factors, prompt treatment gives good results and allows a return to participation. Traumatic injuries are much less common than overuse syndromes and are seldom severe. They are treated in a standard fashion.
