“…The balancing ability of adolescents is affected by their physical fitness level [37] and isometric strength of the lower extremities [39], being closely related to lower extremity injuries in adolescents [40]. Particularly, sedentary life can reduce adolescents' posture control and balance ability [41], and a decrease in physical strength related to balance can weaken the ability to sense body position in space, increasing the duration of compensation exercises for body stabilization. The balance of Korean adolescents decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic period, and there was a difference according to gender [6].…”

This study aimed to investigate the effects of online physical education classes, using Tabata training, on middle school students’ physical fitness. Fifty-four adolescents were randomly assigned to either the asynchronous online class group (AOCG, n = 24, age: 15.8 ± 0.4 years) or the synchronous online class group (SOCG, n = 24 age: 15.9 ± 0.3 years). The online physical education class lasted two days per week for 10 weeks. Recorded video lectures were conducted for the AOCG, and Tabata training for the SOCG, as real-time lecture methods. Baseline and post-online physical education class measures included muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, balance, and cardiorespiratory fitness tests. The results showed that the synchronous online physical education class had a positive effect on the improvement of muscle mass, ankle strength (dorsiflexion), hip strength (abduction, flexion, extension, and external rotation), knee strength (extension and flexion), and balance (Y-balance test) in adolescents. These findings suggest that the physical fitness of adolescents can be sufficiently improved through appropriate online physical education class methods. Further research should focus on developing and evaluating different types of exercises for synchronous online physical education classes as a precautionary measure for the second wave of COVID-19.

“…According to the literature, postural disorders may also be associated with bad habits, sedentary lifestyle or the development of civilization aiming at technological progress (35,36). Based on the research by Lastro et al on the influence of a sedentary and active lifestyle on the body posture of children aged 10-16 years, fewer abnormal habits related to body posture were observed among children practicing sports than in sports inactive children (37). Both sedentary and inactive lifestyle among children is conducive to the appearance of back pain (38,39).…”

Assessment of Body Posture of Children With Chest Pain

Objective: An increase in the appearance of chest pain among children is observed globally. The authors present various reasons for their appearance. As can be seen from numerous observations, the majority of cases are not related to the pathology of the circulatory system. Increasingly, studies on the causes of chest pain in children show their association with musculoskeletal disorders.Aim: of the work was assessment of body posture in children with chest pain using the Diers Formetric 4D system.Methods: The study involved a group of 184 female and male children, aged 7–12 years. The study group consisted of 64 patients with chest pain. The children from this group were diagnosed with functional chest pain by a cardiologist. The control group consisted of 120 patients without chest pain. The study included the assessment of body posture using the DIERS Formetric system.Results: The analysis of the results obtained during the study showed that among the children with chest pain, there are statistically significant irregularities in the parameters determining body posture compared to the control group.Comparing the study group with the control group, there is a statistically significant difference in the lateral deviation of VPDM (rms) (mm) (p = 0.001). Both children from the test group aged 9–10 and 11–12 obtained higher results than their peers from the control group. In the group of the youngest children in terms of the lateral deviation of VPDM (rms) (mm), increasing the number of children under study would contribute to significant differences in this variable.In the study group, among children aged 9–10 years, there were also statistically significant abnormalities regarding trunk imbalance and pelvic skewness compared to the children of the same age in the control group.Conclusions: Irregularities in the parameters determining body posture may cause chest pain in children.

“…To explain the results of our research, we should remind that a large number of the previous studies on posture, physical activity, and carrying a school bag in school-age children are aimed at identifying risk factors associated with back curvature, pain, and pain exhaustion. Moreover, the occurrence of fatigue using statistical indicators (25,26). However, a number of authors in their research also focus on the analysis of the interaction between the legs and the ground (9,27,28), pressures continue to cause some concern about the potential long-term negative effects on the foot structure and overall functionality of children.…”

Introduction: Carrying a school bag is a dominant activity that a child performs during daily productive activities. The aim of the research is to examine how carrying a school bag of different weights affects the distribution of force and plantar pressure during normal walking on the flat terrain of children of varying levels of physical activity.Methods: The pilot study included 124 students aged 11-12 from Banja Luka. According to the protocol, each group of respondents was treated with an intervention-customized school bag and a comparator-school bag that the child only opted for. For the research, the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children, measurement of anthropometric parameters, school bag weight, and Zebris tape (Zebris Medical GmbH, Germany) were used for gait analysis.Results: Inactive children achieved the lowest and active children’s highest walking speed during normal walking without a bag, with their customized school bag. When carrying a custom school bag: The highest maximum force is projected on the left heel 330.72 N in inactive children, and the lowest 265.93 N in moderately active children, the highest maximum pressure on the left heel is registered in inactive children, 27.60 N/cm2, and the lowest 21.85 N/cm2 in moderately active children. The maximum force-time of % of standing time on the left foot in the middle part lasted the longest in inactive children, and the shortest active children carried their school bag 40.31% and a custom school bag 39.76%.Conclusion: High physical activity and individual adjustment to distribute the burden well allow the child to adequately respond to the loads carried by the weight of the school bag.
