Gluteal muscle size and quality in professional ballet dancers compared to non-dancing athletes
Key Points
• Professional ballet dancers have larger gluteus maximus and gluteus medius cross-sectional area, and gluteus minimus muscle volume compared with age and sex-matched athletes when normalized to weight (in kilograms).
• Professional ballet dancers and athletes have comparable gluteal muscle quality.
• Self-reported hip-related pain is not related to gluteal muscle size.
