Injuries appear in every sport, and the goal of this thesis is to analyse injuries in ballet. What are all the factors that affect their occurrence and how to reduce them to a minimum? Ballerinas start dancing at a very young age, so the analysis should start from their first contact with dance. The main influence on dancers in their youth is their educator who teaches them basic techniques. If the educator is not aware of all the dangers that dancers face, it is very likely that dancers will either learn some of the techniques incorrectly, which significantly increases the likelihood of injury, or will be injured at the very beginning. As part of dance education, it is crucial to include subjects such as anatomy in the curriculum so that dancers can better understand the structure and biomechanics of their body. This knowledge can be applied in dance, so even if injuries occur, the dancer will find it easier to communicate with a doctor or therapist. As dancers grow older, the intensity of the exercises increases accordingly. Ballet equipment is also changing, which is another significant influence on the occurrence of injuries. Pointe shoes can become a danger if the technique of performing the exercises is not correct or if the pointe shoe becomes too worn out and does not support the foot sufficiently. In order to minimize injuries, dancers must also have a good proprioception of their surroundings, the floor on which they dance should absorb shocks, and the close environment should not contain obstacles or more dangerous props. During the performance of the movement, the dancers must be aware of their abilities and adjust their performances accordingly.
