Injuries are highly disadvantageous for performing arts students, since they can lead to physical discomfort, medical treatment and absence from classes, rehearsal and performance. However, little insight exists on the injury patterns of these students. Among the possible explanations for the current lack of knowledge are the methodological challenges faced in conducting prospective studies, particularly when overuse injuries are of concern. Current methods for injury registration in performing arts may substantially underestimate the true burden of injuries due to a reliance on medical attention injury definitions. The purpose of this study is to investigate the magnitude and nature of injury problems in 1st year performing arts students (dance and music) of the Codarts University of the Arts.
