“…Another physical parameter that has a significant influence on functional capacity is balance. Children with β-thalassemia demonstrate impaired postural balance compared to their healthy peers [32]. These balance disorders may be caused by multifactor postural impairment, such as scoliosis or anterior pelvic tilt; this can result from low hematocrit, calcium, bone mineral density, bone marrow expansion, and high levels of ferritin and alkaline phosphate associated with β-thalassemia [33].…”

Introduction: Thalassemia, a genetic hemoglobinopathy, results from a defect in globin chain production. It is characterized by ineffective erythropoiesis, and complications related to multiple transfusions can lead to higher morbidity. Accordingly, this study examines the correlation between pulmonary function and physical fitness in children with β-thalassemia major.Material and methods: This observational-correlation study was conducted between August 2022 to January 2023 at Abo EL-Reesh Al Mounira Hospital for children. The study included 34 children (17 boys and 17 girls) with β-thalassemia major, aged 6-10 years. The exclusion criteria included children with defined cardiovascular or respiratory disorders, renal failure, and recent thoraco-abdominal surgery or aneurysm. The following pulmonary functions were assessed using a spire spectrum neuro-soft spirometer: vital capacity (VC), maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV), forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), and peak expiratory flow rate (PEF). Health-related physical fitness, as functional capacity, was measured by a 6-min walk test, with energy expenditure determined using the energy expenditure index (EEI). Skill-related fitness, as balance, was measured with a pediatric balance scale.Results: Pulmonary function was found to be significantly positively correlated with functional capacity and balance in children with β-thalassemia major (p < 0.05).Conclusions: Pulmonary rehabilitation is of significant value in children with β-thalassemia major.

“…Large postural changes in spinal alignment play a role in the development of back pain [18]. Several studies have highlighted the vulnerability of adolescent females to postural changes and associated pain, with forward head carriage being a common occurrence [9,11,18,19]. Proper posture habits and training are crucial in schools to prevent neck and shoulder pain and functional disorders [20].…”

Background: The impact of behavioral risk factors, specifically postural habits and the presence of postural changes, has been identified as a significant concern for adolescent females, particularly in public school settings. Purpose: This study aims to conduct a comparative analysis of postural changes, behavioral postures, back pain, and behavioral habits between adolescent females in public and international schools. Methods: A case-control study was executed, involving 200 adolescent females aged 13–17 years. The participants were divided into two groups: Group (A) from public schools and Group (B) from international schools. The evaluation process employed a combination of video and image analysis using Kinovea and the Back Pain and Body Posture Evaluation Instrument. Results: Statistical analysis revealed a lack of significant difference between Groups (A & B) concerning forward head posture (cranio-vertebral angle by Kinova). However, a notable distinction was observed between the groups in terms of back pain, behavioral habits, hereditary factors, and socioeconomic status. Conclusion: While both groups exhibited a prevalence of forward head posture among adolescent females, Group (A) from public schools demonstrated a higher incidence of back pain, associated with behavioral habits, socioeconomic factors, and hereditary influences on back pain. Postural changes and back pain in public schools were attributed to factors such as load, duration of TV watching, lack of exercise, backpack-carrying duration, hereditary factors, and socioeconomic status (parents' education level up to secondary schools).

“…Nowadays many posture studies are performed using the posture screening mobile program as an alternative to classical methods which are expensive, time-consuming, and require expertise and a special field (Pano, Çina, Murataj, Krist, & Rusi, 2015;Edward & Alcantara, 2014). An easy-to-use software that does not require expertise to measure body angles and lengths is developed (Ferreira & et al, 2010).…”

Posture is the most healthy and correct placement of each region in the body when compared to the whole body. The predominantly use of one side of the body disrupts the posture. A bad posture changes the center of gravity of the body and causes chronic skeletal and muscle soreness. It is aimed to determine whether there is a rehabilitative effect of football training that does not require the use of dominant arms on posture asymmetries which may occur in the basketball which requires the use of dominant arm and leg in the study.15 male basketball players who played basketball for an average of 8 years with a mean age of 21.7 ± 1.5 years participated as volunteers. Postures of the subjects were measured with PostureScreen Mobile® before and after 12 week football trainings with lateral and anteriorly taken photographs. SPSS 22 was used program for statistical analysis. While analyzing of data Wilcoxon Test method was used and it is determined as significance level was p<0.05.After 12 weeks of football training, statistically significant differences were found in measurements taken from the anterior and lateral positions on the head, shoulder, ribcage, hip, and knee measured tilts and shifts. Estimated average head weight decreased depending on the posture of the cervical vertebrae and a significant difference was detected. Postures of subjects came close to the correct posture.Basketball is an acycle sport branch that requires the use of muscles on the dominant side. It creates an asymmetric position on the athlete due to this feature; causes shifting and tilts. In order to eliminate postural disorders that occur, the effectiveness of football training that does not require to use of the dominant side of the body has been demonstrated.
