Abstrakt:	Introduction: Studies showed that professional dance is often associated with a high degree of acute musculoskeletal injuries. These injuries' etiology predominantly describes their biomechanical or other extrinsic factors, but there is a limited number of scientific reports dealing with the perceived stress or mental health status concerning the physical complaints especially, among Hungarian professional dancers. Materials and Methods: In this study, we used validated questionnaires (RESTQ, SEFIP, Mental Health Test) filled out by Hungarian professional female dancers (N = 168) via an online platform anonymously and analyzed statistically. Results: Our findings showed a significantly positive relationship between musculoskeletal complaints and perceived stress, an elevated level of general stress, and a higher level of resilience in this population compared to the general population. Conclusion: Dancers demonstrate a heightened perception of stress; however, they exhibit elevated scores on resilience assessments, indicative of heightened functionality in their daily lives. Stress, per se, may not be directly regarded as a causative factor for acute musculoskeletal conditions, but it could potentially influence the severity of pain sensations and subjective pain levels in the context of existing injuries. Additional investigations are warranted to elucidate the precise mechanisms by which stress exacerbates the pain experience among dancers.
