Dancers, similar to other athletes, often perform vertical and horizontal jumps. Lower extremity (LE) work, power, and balance are important in performing these movements. However, whether these qualities are inter-related in dancers remains unclear. Our purposes were to examine if 1. LE horizontal work, vertical power, and balance were inter-related, and 2. LE horizontal work and vertical power would predict balance in female collegiate dancers. Sixty-one collegiate female dancers (18.3 +/- 0.7 years; 164.7 +/- 7.3 cm; 61.7 +/- 9.5 kg) performed Single Leg Hops (SLH, m), and Vertical Jumps (VJ, cm). The resulting distances were used to calculate horizontal work (hWork, joules = weight[N] * SLH), and vertical power (vPower, watts = 78.5 * VJ + 60.6 * mass[kg] 15.3 * height [cm] 1,308). Balance was operationally defined as the bilateral composite Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBTcom, % leg-length-LL) reach scores in the anterior, posterolateral, and posteromedial directions. Pearson correlation coefficients examined relationships among hWork, vPower, and SEBTcom. A stepwise linear regression examined whether hWork and vPower predicted balance (p
