Ballerinas And Female Athletes Share Quadruple Health Threats
ScienceDaily (May 31, 2009) — A study led by sports medicine researcher Anne Hoch, D.O., at The Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee has revealed that young female professional dancers face the same health risks as young female athletes when they don't eat enough to offset the energy they spend, and stop menstruating as a consequence.
"These two components of the female athlete tetrad put them at higher risk for the other two; the cardiovascular and bone density deficits of much older, postmenopausal women," according to Dr. Hoch, associate professor of orthopaedic surgery and director of the Froedtert & the Medical College Women's Sports Medicine Center.
The researchers studied 22 professional ballerinas, all members of the Milwaukee Ballet Company, to determine the prevalence of disordered eating, amenorrhea (lack of menstruation), abnormal vascular function and low bone density. Study findings were presented at the American College of Sports Medicine meeting in Seattle, May 30.
The dancers completed questionnaires on their menstrual patterns and eating habits, and underwent a blood test for hormonal levels. Thirty-six percent of the group had disordered eating habits and 77 percent were in a calorie deficit. Twenty-seven percent were currently amenorrhea, 23 percent had low bone mass density and nine percent were taking birth control.
Arterial ultrasound measurements revealed that 64 percent had abnormal artery dilation in response to blood flow.
"It was unknown if professional dancers without menstrual periods have evidence of vascular dysfunction, yet some characteristics of the tetrad were common in this group," says Dr. Hoch. "Eighty-six percent had one or more components, and fourteen percent had all four."
The study was funded by grants from the Clinical and Translational Science Institute Adult Translational Research Unit of the Medical College, and by the Steve Cullen Healthy Heart Club Funding of 2008.
Co authors of the study include: Paula Papanek, Ph.D., associate professor and director of exercise science at Marquette University; and at the Medical College - Heather Havlik, M.D., a sports medicine fellow; William Raasch, M.D., professor of orthopaedic surgery; Michael Widlansky, M.D., assistant professor of medicine in cardiology; Jane Schimke, clinical research coordinator, and David Gutterman, M.D., senior associate dean and professor of medicine in cardiology
Comment: Where has the management at the Milwaukee Ballet been? It’s not as if the findings about dancers, eating disorders and secondary amenorrhea in the article above aren’t already known! Good ballet company management requires proactive health management to ensure performers aren’t putting themselves at risk. Our casino ballet has regular bone density scans for members as well as a staff dietitian so that women who are dieting are assured of getting the nutrients they need for a grueling performance (as well as an awesome partying) schedule.
Quality bottom time: My main squeeze, Pirate, and I had some quality time last night at the bottom of my 68 ft. deep swimming pool, which my friends call ‘the pit’. There I can have three atmosphere dive-sex w/o having to worry about being bothered with wearing a suit, though I do wear a bikini, but just as a tease so my partners have something to remove as part of fore play. Since I’ve started wearing a bikini to the bottom I’ve shut off the chiller that cools the water below the thermocline at 50 feet. That saves electricity by not running the thermocline pumps as well, even though the huge solar array in the desert behind my house usually provided more power than the house uses. The big thing a girl needs to remember before dive-sex is to apply an applicator of Dive-Gel (the silicone based intimate lube that comes in prefilled 10ml disposable applicators) in her vagina before diving. It is also a good idea to take one or two Dive-Gel applicators on the dive, just in case. The nap during afterglow from dive-sex while tethered to the bottom is to die for!
Dive-sex and Nitrox II: Because of the intensity of the dive-sex orgasmic experience we require our female escorts, trainees and casino guests renting facilities for dive sex to breathe Nitrox – preferably Nitrox II – during their encounters. Enriched Air Nitrox EAN32 and EAN36 (also called Nitrox I and Nitrox II have 32% and 36% oxygen respectivly rather than the normal 21% oxygen in the air we breathe. Nitrox II will usually prevent a diver from fainting during an orgasm while submerged if she has had dive-sez before and knows what to expect. A diver who hasn’t had an orgasm during dive-sex will probably faint during her first orgasmic encounter, but if her spit-strap is securely fastned to prevent expulsion of her regulator she should be safe enough. Even so we have set up initial dive-sex training – for a few carefully screened women taking advanced escort training - to occur in shallow water so the ascent time is very short should there be a problem.
