Overview

Cross-sectional study reports sex-specific variations in postural fitness among children and adolescents, highlighting the importance of targeted interventions.

Key Points

  • Boys showed greater thoracic kyphosis and reduced hip range of motion, indicating potential risk factors for back issues.
  • Key disparities in trunk muscle endurance were found, with girls displaying superior endurance compared to boys.
  • The postural fitness protocol effectively identified anthropometric differences in school-aged children, providing a valuable assessment tool.
  • Individualized screening programs are essential for addressing spinal health during growth, potentially reducing future spinal disorders.
