The main objective: The aim of this bachelor thesis was to find out the frequency of foot hyperpronation among the students of classical dance and to compared how this foot position changes depending on length of study at dance conservatory. Secondary objectives were to compare size of calcaneal angle depending on length of study at dance conservatory and to find out the frequency of valgus position of calcaneus. Methods: Participants in practical part of this thesis were female students of dance conservatory in Prague aged between 11-20. Students were divided into three groups based on the year of study. In group 1 were students from the 1st and the 2nd grade, in group 2 were students from the 4th and the 5th grade, in group 3 were students from the 7th grade. Hyperpronation was evaluated by the Navicular Drop test. Calcaneal angle was measured by the goniometer and the position of calcaneus was evaluated by aspection. Participants who were evaluated as hyperpronators, received to fill in questionnaire which was focused on whether they are aware of the wrong position of the foot. Frequency of hyperpronation was statistically verified by the Chi-square test and frequency of the valgus position of calcaneus was tested by the Fisher exact test. Comparison of hyperpronation, evaluated by the Navicular...
