“…The study showed statistical significance in the height of shoulders and in the general analysis of the body posture in the frontal plane in active children compared to the sedentary group. Also, Vojtikova [21] evaluated the body posture and regular physical activity in children of young school-age. Boys had worse body posture depending on physical activity.…”

“…For example, Kratěnová et al [25] indicated that physically active children do not suffer from poor posture. However, studies by Vrbas [26] or Bunc [27] or Vojtikova [21] showed that the amount of physical activity or physical fitness has little influence on the occurrence of poor body posture.…”

Introduction Physical activity may have an impact on the parameters of body posture. Scientific reports suggest that levels of physical activity are declining among society, which may result in incorrect changes in body posture. This study aimed to assess the relationship between physical activity and the parameters characterizing posture in the frontal plane in children. Material and Methods Sixty-seven primary school students aged 9 were enrolled in the study, including 29 girls and 38 boys. The posture was evaluated with the photogrammetric method. Also, anthropometric measures and the level of physical activity were investigated. Results The highest percentage of examined children was characterized by a moderate level of physical activity. Children with a high level of physical activity were characterized by the greater asymmetry of position between the right and left shoulder as compared to those with a low and a moderate level of physical activity. Conclusions There were statistically significant differences only in the height of shoulders in children with a high level of physical activity. This study should be repeated in adolescence, characterized by changes in development and a reluctance to physical activity.
