Background: With the growing ubiquity of electronic devices, the incidence of upper crossed syndrome (UCS) is increasing every year and tends to affect younger populations. The study designed to assess the effect of cervical and thoracic "Daoyin" training on pain, posture, pulmonary function, cervical range of motion, and emotional state in college students with UCS. Methods: We conducted a parallel-group randomized control study, assigning 74 college students to intervention group (IG) and control group (CG) at Fujian Medical University, Fujian, China. Instructed cervical and thoracic "Daoyin" training was given to students in the IG for eight weeks, five days a week for 45 minutes, whereas students in the CG continued with their usual activities. Primary outcomes, including forward head and shoulder angles, pain and cervical spine function, as well as secondary outcomes, such as pulmonary function, cervical range of motion and emotional state were measured at baseline and at a follow-up of eight weeks. These measurements were conducted using photogrammetry, visual analog scale(VAS), Neck Disability Index(NDI), pulmonary function, cervical range of motion test and Self-rating Anxiety Scale, respectively. We analyzed the effect of cervical and thoracic "Daoyin" training on college students with UCS using a general linear model. Results: Analyses using general linear model revealed that the IG had a obvious improvement in the forward head angle, forward shoulder angle, and emotional state compared with the CG from baseline to eight weeks post-intervention (F=11.415, P<0.001; F=5.490, P=0.020; F=4.411, P=0.037). In addition, there were significant improvements in VAS (d=0.854, P<0.001), NDI (d=0.754, P=0.005), pulmonary function (forced vital capacity (FVC) (d=0.531, P=0.025), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) (d=0.521, P=0.028), FEV1/FVC (d=0.540, P=0.034), maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV) (d=0.888, P<0.001) and cervical range of motion in forward flexion (FF) (d=0.353, P=0.029) at the end of 8-week intervention in IG. No side-effects were observed in this study. Conclusion: Cervical and thoracic “Daoyin” training can improve the pain, posture, cervical spine function, pulmonary function, cervical range of motion in forward flexion , and emotional state of college students with UCS to some extent.

Introduction. The physical development and engagement in sports activities have a direct impact on the overall formation of the human body. Previous research on the impact of sports on orthopedic and dental conditions in children has primarily focused on factors and features related to injuries. While some studies have explored the influence of sports on orthopedic conditions, comprehensive research addressing orthopedic and stomatological pathology in connection with sports activities has been lacking. The objective of this study is to investigate the influence of physical activity on the status of both the locomotor and maxillofacial systems and to evaluate their correlation with fundamental anthropometric indicators. Materials and Methods. For this study, a cohort of 78 children (38 girls and 40 boys), aged 14 to 17 years with an average age of 15.5 years, underwent examinations in both 2019-2020 and 2023. A thorough statistical analysis of the gathered data was conducted to draw meaningful conclusions. Orthopedic pathology was observed in 37.21% of individuals engaged in sports and 22.86% of those who did not participate (p=0.263). Dental pathology was found in 23.26% of individuals involved in sports compared to 17.14% in those who did not engage in sports (p=0.581). Over a span of 3 years, individuals participating in sports experienced an average weight change of 14.82 kg, while those not involved in sports had an average change of 10.31 kg (p=0.02). The average height was 177.0 cm in individuals with orthopedic pathology and 170.0 cm in those without a diagnosed orthopedic condition (p=0.008). The mean growth over 3 years was 15.0 cm in individuals with orthopedic pathology and 9.0 cm in those without an established orthopedic diagnosis (p=0.032). Children with dental pathology gained an average of 8.34 kg of body weight over 3 years, whereas those without dental pathology gained 13.89 kg (p=0.019). Conclusions. Engaging in sports activities does not significantly impact the occurrence or development of orthopedic and stomatological pathology. Anthropometric indicators, specifically height and body weight, are associated with orthopedic and dental pathology, respectively. Children exhibiting greater and more intensive growth tend to have a higher frequency of orthopedic pathology. Dental pathology is more prevalent in children with lower body weight.

Background: The issue of the relation betweeen training loads on the shape of the spine of young players is of significant importance, as with the advancement of training seniority, unfavorable changes may be perpetuated resulting in possible consequences in the next stages of ontogenesis. The aim of this study was to assess the formation of the sagittal curvatures of the spine in girls practicing volleyball versus their nonpractising peers. Methods: We examined 60 girls aged 10–13 years, including 30 volleyball players and 30 untrained peers. The Baseline Bubble inclinometer was applied as a research. The data were analyzed based on Mann–Whitney U test and Pearson Chi-square test. Results. There were statistically significant intergroup differences in lumbar lordosis curvature values (Z = −2.67; p = 0.007). The prevalence of correctness values of the thoracic kyphosis curvature, was group-dependent (χ2(1) = 4.34; p = 0.037). Group also determined the prevalence of lumbar lordosis normalities (χ2(1) = 5.41; p = 0.020). Conclusions. Volleyball has a beneficial effect on the formation of the thoracic kyphosis, while the lumbar lordosis is shallowed under the influence of training. This indicates the need for a holistic approach to player training and the need to supplement the technique and tactics training with exercises to strengthen the muscles that stabilize the lumbar spine, improve spinal mobility, learn how to control the anterior tilt of the pelvis and train the fascia.
