The Relationship

Introduction. Excessive body mass in turn may contribute to the development of many health disorders including disorders of musculoskeletal system, which still develops intensively at that time.Aim. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between children’s body mass composition and body posture. The relationship between physical activity level of children and the parameters characterizing their posture was also evaluated.Material and Methods. 120 school age children between 11 and 13 years were enrolled in the study, including 61 girls and 59 boys. Each study participant had the posture evaluated with the photogrammetric method using the projection moiré phenomenon. Moreover, body mass composition and the level of physical activity were evaluated.Results. Children with the lowest content of muscle tissue showed the highest difference in the height of the inferior angles of the scapulas in the coronal plane. Children with excessive body fat had less slope of the thoracic-lumbar spine, greater difference in the depth of the inferior angles of the scapula, and greater angle of the shoulder line. The individuals with higher level of physical activity have a smaller angle of body inclination.Conclusion. The content of muscle tissue, adipose tissue, and physical activity level determines the variability of the parameter characterizing the body posture.

Aim. The article aims to identify the effect of regular physical activity of medium and high intensity on the functional status of 5–6 and 6–7-year-old children. Materials and methods. The study involved children assigned for health reasons to the main medical group. A set of indicators characterizing the physiological, psychological, and behavioral aspects of the functional status was used. The experimental programs differed in the intensity of physical exercises. Results. Training programs based on high-intensity physical exercises contributed to a significant improvement in the functional status of the body, autonomic supply, physical performance and physical fitness compared to medium-intensity training programs. Comparison of functional indicators in children revealed that in 5–6-year-old children the level of general activation both in a state of calm wakefulness and under information loads at all stages of the study was higher than in 6–7-year-old children, while physical performance and motor fitness, on the contrary, were lower. Conclusion. The obtained results provide the evidence that 5–6 and 6–7-year-old children making physical exercises of high intensity performed better than those who had exercises of medium intensity as resulted from the degree of positive changes in functional indicators.

Introduction: Physical activity is considered to be one of the keystones of a healthy lifestyle and an indispensable condition for correct body posture. The purpose of the study was to check the body posture of young males with above-average physical activity and how the position of the trunk changes after extending the arms forward. The frequency and intensity of back pain among males in the study were also analyzed. Material and methods: The study involved 50 young, healthy males, whose high daily physical activity was confirmed by the IPAQ questionnaire. Body height and weight were checked, and BMI was calculated. The position of the trunk in three planes was examined using the ultrasonic Zebris Pointer system. The examination was performed twice: in the habitual standing position and in the position taken from the Matthiass test: standing position with the arms in front of the trunk (90o). The data was prepared in the Statistica v13 program. Results: The male participants were characterized by an incorrect depth of physiological curvatures of the spine and asymmetry of the position of the shoulder and pelvic girdles in the frontal plane. Extending the arms forward in a standing position resulted in flatter thoracic kyphosis, rounder lumbar lordosis and tilting the trunk backwards. Periodic pain sensation in the lumbar spine was reported by approximately 60% of participants. It was a mild pain that did not require painkillers. There were no significant relationships between the quality of the trunk position and pains in the lumbar region. Conclusions: High physical activity turned out to be insufficient to ensure correct body posture and efficiency of core muscles. Postural education should be a permanent element of health promotion programs aimed at increasing the quality of life.

Background: A posture defect may be defined as a syndrome of abnormalities occurring in a relaxed upright position of the body. Deviations from the typical body shape are specific for given age and gender. Life determinants and social situation have a very significant impact on the development of body posture in young people. Aim of the study: The aim of the study was to analyse the occurrence of spinal defects in children aged 3–6 years. Material and methods: The study included 75 children aged 3–6 years. The children were examined for spinal defects using the MORA computer system. Results: Boys in the study showed a correlation between height and the inclination of the upper thoracic segment, whereas no such correlation was observed in girls. A significant relationship was also demonstrated between BMI and compensation and inclination of the lumbar segment in all subjects. Overall height was also noted to be significantly related to both spine length and the length of its curvature. Conclusions: The occurrence of spinal defects is influenced by gender. BMI can have a significant impact on spinal morphology and the formation of body posture, even in pre-school age children.

The sedentary form of behaviour, the effective holding of the body are potential causes of the formation of muscular asymmetries, and thus of poor body posture. The aim of the paper is to determine the differences in posture of children of different levels of physical activity. The research involved an assessment of a sample of 42 handball players 13.02 ± 0.89 years and 32 non-athletes 13.16 ± 0.88 years. Three tests were used to evaluate the presence of poor posture, to evaluate the scoliotic poor posture - Adam’s forward bend test, to estimate the kyphotic poor posture –Reclination test with the contraction of the extensor muscle to assess the lordotic poor posture – Contraction test of the abdominal muscles. The obtained results of the chi square of the test indicate that there are no statistically significant differences between the analysed groups of subjects regarding the presence of the scoliotic (p = 0.85), the kyphotic (p = 0.77) and the lordotic poor posture (p = 0.82) between the defined groups. The assumption is that boys are involved in sports activities due to the impaired posture in adolescent age, in order to prevent further progression and formation of new bodily deformities and to avoid similar conditions.

The relationship between the physical activity and the health condition is very complex since the physical activity brings benefits to health whereas the movement is essential for the human body to work properly. The physical activity, the physical condition and the health condition are influenced by the genetic factors, environmental conditions and lifestyle of each individual. Objectives. The trial aimed at pointing out the cardiorespiratory functional status of students correlated to their lifestyle and physical activity level. Material and method. The cardio-respiratory capacity was tested on the students in the 1st year at the Department of Health and Human Development, precisely 30 students. The inclusion criteria were: their age of 18–40, their consent to take part in the trial, their compliance during the trial, their lack of acute conditions or chronic ones. The Ruffier test was used, a test that assesses the functional capacity of the respiratory and cardiovascular apparatus. Results. The interpretation of the Ruffier test and Ruffier-Dickson test enables an overall view about the ability to adapt the body to effort for the students taken into consideration for the trial. Conclusions. The results of the trial show us that the participants have a good physical condition as they do a series of physical exercises on a daily basis according to the study curriculum. These results are similar to the ones in the specialty literature where the pyramid of physical activities plays an important role

Physical Literacy

The quality of life of the elderly is becoming a serious problem of contemporary society. Low level of physical literacy of this group of citizens does not encourage their need for exercise, it does not motivate to physical activity and to the change of lifestyle. The aim of the paper is to select and organize the knowledge about the concept and the direction of physical education of older adults and seniors, to define the conceptual content of physical literacy in education, to provide an example of a possible way to differentiate the offer of education for each age category and to present the appropriate proposal of movement and gymnastics programs for a selected population group. As a method of solution of the issue has been selected questionnaire and interval scaling. The questions in questionnaire survey were selected with regard to the appropriateness of defined gymnastic exercises involved in the concept of physical literacy. The questions were answered by 28 experts, university teachers. Descriptive statistics were used for the classification and analysis of the obtained data. The greatest impact responses gained Importance of exercises for correct body posture and basic locomotion were in responses stated as the most important, followed by realisation of the movements of the body and its parts, orientation in space and balance exercises. In the area of knowledge safety of physical activity, the execution of the movement and the importance of prevention and health benefits reached nearly 90%. Into the content of physical literacy of older people and seniors were selected five groups of inventories of gymnastic activities: body posture, locomotion, balance, flexibility and handling skills. Physical education of elderly population should be oriented to the optimal level of health focused fitness, acquiring specific skills, strengthening of resilience, well-being and social cohesion.

The Impact

Abstract Introduction. Physical activity is an indelible part of human life, but the impact of industrial changes on society has led to a hypokinetic lifestyle not only in adults but also in children and youth. This paper aims to present the results of a study of the body posture of 7-year-olds, which is an essential part of their physical development evaluation. The aim of our study was to expand our knowledge of the occurrence of body posture disorders in 7-year-olds, as well as to develop an appropriate movement programme which would help improve the current situation. Material and methods. The research sample consisted of 393 first-graders from 4 grammar schools in Kosice. We used muscle testing according to Janda and Tichy to obtain data on individual muscle weaknesses and postural deviations. Results. Our research confirmed the findings of several other researchers who had pointed out that muscle weaknesses and postural deviations can be observed already in preschoolers. Due to a lack of physical activity and movement, muscle weakness in preschool children results in more serious health issues at school age and later in adulthood. Conclusions. We managed to stabilise and even to correct the weaknesses we observed by implementing a movement programme focusing on the diagnosed muscle weakness.
