The objectives of the study were to evaluate the correctness of the body posture of female soccer players in the frontal plane from the back based on selected body points in two static positions (habitual and actively corrected) using a non-contact optical measurement method. Forty-two young women (aged 16–20) playing soccer in a sports club in Poland were examined and compared with controls. The spatial coordinates (x, y, z) of the selected body points were determined. Four points (Oc L , Oc R , Pv L and Pv R ) were extracted and used to calculate vectors and for analysis. The results show that median of the pelvic line angle was positive (Pv R was lower than Pv L ) in both groups. For the habitual posture, the absolute value of the difference between the 25th and 75th percentiles in the pelvic line was almost three times greater among the soccer players than the controls (ratio between soccer players and controls: 2.93). Static postural imbalances in female soccer players require diagnosis of the sacroiliac joints with analysis of lumbar-pelvic system support and inhibition in the context of myofascial connection integration. Exercises can be implemented to stabilize the lumbar-pelvis complex as prophylaxis for spinal overload during the training cycle.

“…The body posture of the subjects was assessed from the dorsal coronal plane using a non-contact 3D photogrammetry system according to previously published methods [23,24]. Each participant stood inside the calibrated area with their back turned to the cameras, in a relaxed position with legs upright and slightly spaced feet, arms along the torso, and with their eyes facing forward.…”

Introduction Breathing mechanic is determined by tonus and flexibility, correct contraction amplitude of the thoracic diaphragm, relaxation, and the activity of auxiliary muscles. Respiratory muscle strength is evaluated by measuring the static maximal inspiratory (MIP) and expiratory (MEP) pressures. The aim of this research was to determine the relationship between MIP and MEP and body posture in female soccer players. Material and methods The research involved a group of 57 women aged 16–20 years (42 soccer players and 15 controls) without disorders in the movement apparatus, cardiovascular system, or respiratory system. MIP and MEP were measured and analyzed with respect to body posture in three different positions. MIP and MEP values were evaluated with Micro Respiratory Muscle Analyzer (CareFusion). The body posture in the coronal plane from the back measured with a non-contact 3D photogrammetry system. Results Asymmetries in body posture were also measured and compared between groups. Asymmetry was observed at all anatomical locations in each of the postural positions, with an increase in asymmetry of the scapulae in the soccer players (p = 0.008). The control group had increased asymmetry at the skull nuchal line. Conclusions These results draw attention to the need for standardizing the evaluation procedure for respiratory muscle strength and interpretation of results. Postural measurements allow linkage of specific postural errors to the maximum strength of inspiratory and expiratory muscles. The asymmetrical location of the scapulae may be followed by a disturbance in the maximum strength of the inspiratory muscles.

“…The research carried out here concerned the determination of relationships and variability of parameters for habitual (normal) and straighten posture ("at attention", understand as actively corrected). An adequate method of measurement of spatial position of the body characteristic points with the use of markers were adopted by Sutkowski et al [20].…”

The purpose of this study is to evaluate mutual influence of selected postural parameters onto movement of the line of the human body gravity point with use of noncontact optical tool (photogrammetry based). This study constitutes a part of the wider observational cross-sectional study of body posture of healthy people. A specially designed measurement set-up was developed to determine the 3D location of selected characteristic points of the human body. The photogrammetry tool was applied to calculate (x, y, z) coordinates of the points marked on the examined body, e.g., processus mastoideus and angulus superior scapulae. With these assumptions postural parameters in the sagittal and coronal planes can be determined, respectively. The 3D coordinates were used to evaluate the correlation between position of the examined body points and movement of the line of the examined' body gravity point. It can be seen that it is impossible to determine the correlation of the absolute values of the angles of rotation as simple subject to analysis. To demonstrate the interdependence, it is necessary to take into account the sign of the angle of rotation. In the presented study, this factor can be analyzed. Obtained results suggest the usefulness of presented system in physiotherapy of body posture.
