Influence of physical activities on the posture in 10-11 year old schoolchildren

Original language description

Purpose and problem: the aim of the study is to monitor the actual state of posture of schoolchildren in the Czech Republic. A large number of recent studies shows a declining trend of physical activity application in children who attend primary schools all over the world. We can assume that the factors that attract the attention of children more than everyday physical activity are significantly affecting the inactivity of children. In this study, 50 10?11 year old schoolchildren (primary school) were tested (25 boys, 25 girls). To determine the posture condition (position of individual body segments), the Jaroš and Lomíček test (standardized) and a Saehan metallic goniometer (Saehan Corporation, South Korea; 180 degrees) were used. Furthermore, a standardized questionnaire was used, which contained 9 questions that were focused on realization of physical activity in the observed children during the week. The results of our study clearly indicate that basic schoolchildren do not have good posture. In obese children, a higher number of defective and very defective posture was observed in comparison with the normal weight children. The children that performed physical activity three times a week had a perfect posture. A defective or even very bad posture was detected in almost 83% of children who did not do any sports or exercised only once a week. The results of our study clearly demonstrated that schoolchildren who were less physically active during the week fell into the poor posture category (p = 0.0001, ?2 = 0.09). Furthermore, we determined that most schoolchildren, who applied 3 or more hours per week of physical activity, most often had a good posture (p = 0.0001, ?2 = 0.12). The prevention of this problem may be in a higher number of physical education lessons in schools or the interaction of state institutions, schools, families and sport clubs, which would ensure a sufficient amount of physical activity during the daily program of children.
