| Summary: | Background/Aim. Physical activity and sport can influence the extent of the
presence of the postural disturbances in children. The aim of this study was
to investigate the occurrence of differences in the postural disturbances in
female adolescents in relation to team handball training. Methods. This
investigation involved 150 female adolescents with the average age of 13.4 ±
1.5 years divided into two groups (50 adolescents trained handball and 100
did non train it). Results. The study determined a statistically significant
difference in the total number of postural disturbances between the two
groups of adolescents (p < 0.001). The presence of the flat foot was
statistically significantly higher in untrained adolescents (p < 0.001), but
the presence of the scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis, and pes varus was not
found (p > 0.05). Conclusion. Handball adolescents players have less
postural disturbances than untrained adolescents. Flat foot is significantly
less frequent in female adolescents handball players than in untrained ones.
Findings obtained in this investigation can help us in planning continuous
prevention, observation and care for untrained and trained team handball
female adolescents with postural disturbances. |
