摘要

Like athletes, dancers strive to maintain low weight and a low percentage of body fat. These conditions are important for both appearance and competitive advantage. Many researchers have discussed the body built and body composition of elite ballet dancers. but little data has been compiled on native Taiwanese dancers.
To provide such data, the anthropocentric method, including skin fold and circumference, was used to test 24 classically trained female Taiwanese ballet dancers, aged 28.3±4.4 years. The percentage of body fat was determined by measuring 8 sites of skin fold thickness. For the somatogram compare to 11 circumferenceswhich measurements were taken from two groups. Our findings show that the body build of Taiwanese dancers is different from the non dancers. The dancers had lower body weights and lower percentages of body fat than those of non dancers of the same age and gender.
The Somatogram analysis indicated that their body builds exhibited good symmetry. We recommend that the study of body composition in Taiwanese dancers and athletes include anthropocentric measures of circumference, and that they be tracked over time, including time beyond their careers as performers.
