Abstract
This meta-analysis indicates that there may be a site-specific osteogenic effect of pre-professional classical ballet training in adolescent females, with a notable and concerning finding of reduced upper limb BMD compared to age-matched controls. Longitudinal cohort studies are required to confirm the effects of pre-professional ballet training on BMD during adolescence.
