Anthropometric and Neuromuscular Characteristics of Breakers Across Different Performance Levels: An Exploratory Cross-Sectional Field-Based Study
Listen to this summary
This study aimed to explore the anthropometric and neuromuscular characteristics of breakers at different performance levels to assess the feasibility of a field-based testing battery and identify performance differences. The results indicated that elite breakers exhibited distinct advantages in seated height, reactive jump performance, and mobility compared to developmental and recreational athletes, while conventional athletic tests showed limited ability to differentiate performance levels. The authors suggest that breaking-specific tests are necessary to better capture the performance determinants in this dancesport.
