“…Some factors may influence the upper body posture as behavioral habits, school and homework routine, time spend on mobile device, posture adapted to carry school bag (Cejudo, 2022;da Rosa et al, 2022;Popescu & Lee, 2020;Vaterlaus et al, 2021). Although sports training might have some disadvantageous effects on posture, it is essential to emphasize the positive influence of physical activity on physical fitness of children and youth, which has been documented by numerous authors (Tomaczkowski & Klonowska, 2020;de Assis et al, 2021;Xing & Popik, 2020;Opala-Berdzig et al, 2021).…”

Based on previous researches, it was identified how physical activity brings effects on the posture and physical development of a young body. The posture of the athletes is a large interest subject for the physical education and sports research field, mostly for the researchers who discovered that physical training affects body posture, even if there is no consensus on the direction of this effect. The main scope of the case study is to evaluate the anthropometrics variables and to evaluate the upper body posture using the APECS Pro version 6.2.0 developed by New Body Technology in young track and field athletes. The analysed group consisted of fourteen minor athletes (7 girls and 7 boys) with age between 11-13 years old. A minimum of two years of participation in athletics training, a frequency of 3 times/week training sessions, and participation on track and field contest at regional events, were criteria for inclusion in this study. Were assess anthropometric measurements (6 variables) and posture investigation (upper body posture in frontal plane – back view and sagittal plane, side view respectively). The results were performed by means, SD, and Independent Sample T-Test. Also, relationships between anthropometric variables and angular values of upper body posture in frontal and sagittal plane were analysed with Pearson correlation. Data analysis revealed asymmetry at the body alignment, head-neck, shoulder, scapulae, and axillae. It’s recommended to perform exercise sets during the session training or individually to improve the strength and the balance of strength to be able to keep the best posture daily life.

Introduction: Competitive gymnastics training is extremely debated in the Chinese scientific community. It is only when coaches choose proper physical training methods, they can fundamentally improve gymnasts’ physical fitness. Objective: Analyze the effect of warm-up exercises on gymnasts’ physical fitness. At the same time, this paper analyzes the factors that influence the indicators of gymnasts’ physical fitness. Methods: This paper selects several gymnasts as research objects. The gymnasts perform physical training with interval training warm-up for two months. Data of gymnasts’ physical constitution and the indicators related to their function are tracked and tested. Morphological indicators include height, circumference and body composition; functional indicators include multiple physiological and biochemical indicators (blood and urine analysis). Results: Gymnasts increased urea and creatine kinase concentrations after warm-up physical training. However, there was no statistical difference (P>0.05). The primary functional status of the athletes was stable. The results showed a normal resting heart rate and a reduction of blood pressure in the elite athletes. Conclusion: Gymnasts using interval training can maintain high intensity levels for prolonged periods. The indicators of physical fitness were above average. However, players’ fitness to complete the movement set needs to be improved. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.

“…The development of preventive and intervention measures such as controlled physical activity is important to prevent future complications and ensure good posture alignment in schoolchildren. Therefore, it is important to note that the training program should be properly customized to physical condition, age and group of children [31].…”

Introduction Physical activity may have an impact on the parameters of body posture. Scientific reports suggest that levels of physical activity are declining among society, which may result in incorrect changes in body posture. This study aimed to assess the relationship between physical activity and the parameters characterizing posture in the frontal plane in children. Material and Methods Sixty-seven primary school students aged 9 were enrolled in the study, including 29 girls and 38 boys. The posture was evaluated with the photogrammetric method. Also, anthropometric measures and the level of physical activity were investigated. Results The highest percentage of examined children was characterized by a moderate level of physical activity. Children with a high level of physical activity were characterized by the greater asymmetry of position between the right and left shoulder as compared to those with a low and a moderate level of physical activity. Conclusions There were statistically significant differences only in the height of shoulders in children with a high level of physical activity. This study should be repeated in adolescence, characterized by changes in development and a reluctance to physical activity.
