LR Janis
Westland Medical Center, Columbus, OH 43228.

A survey of 275 aerobic dance instructors and participants was performed to determine the overall injury rate for each group, as well as the rate of injury in high-impact versus low-impact aerobics. Injuries occurred in 35% of the combined group. Instructors reported a 53% injury rate. Those who took high-impact classes had a 35% injury rate versus 24% in low-impact classes. The rate of injury was analyzed in terms of age, number of workouts, shoe type, and floor type.
