“…The spinal curvatures are characterized by a significant variability, associated with one's age, ontogenetic development, or practicing a specific sport for many years. A number of authors have attempted to find relationships between the shape of anteroposterior spine curvatures and the type and intensity of practiced sports [28][29][30]. According to Wojtys et al [17], young people who commence intense training sessions with loads which are not ageadjusted are particularly exposed to the development of vertebral malformations.…”

Purpose. The aim of the study was to determine differences in anteroposterior spine curvatures between futsal players, soccer players, and non-training students. The results may contribute to the development of present-day knowledge of posturometry, and its implementation in training can help reduce the risk of body posture disorders in athletes. Methods. The examined group consisted of 48 athletes and 38 non-training college students. body posture parameters were measured with the use of Posturometr-S. The normality of distribution was checked with the Shapiro-Wilk test, and the differences between the groups were measured with ANOVA and the bonferroni post-hoc test. The level of statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. Results. The analysis of angle values revealed the widest and most similar measurements in the group of futsal players and soccer players. The analysis of variance proved statistically significant differences between the soccer players and futsal players (p = 0.003). The difference between the soccer players and non-training students was statistically significant. The highest angular value was measured in non-training students, followed by futsal players and soccer players. The statistical analysis revealed significant differences between the non-training students and futsal players, as well as non-training students and soccer players (p < 0.001). Conclusions. A complex assessment of athletes' body posture is crucial in injury prevention. Training overloads may often lead to disorders of the organ of locomotion and affect the correct body posture in athletes. This, in turn, may result in pains and injuries.

“…Wojtys et al (2000) observaron una menor lordosis lumbar en sujetos sedentarios en comparación con diferentes grupos de atletas. Grabara et Hadzik (2009), en jugadoras de voleibol, hallaron que la hiperlordosis lumbar en bipedestación tendía a ser menos frecuente que en sujetos sedentarios, ya que estas deportistas mantenían el raquis lumbar en flexión durante largos periodos de tiempo en las posiciones de defensa, durante los entrenamientos y competiciones. Otros estudios han encontrado una disminución significativa de la lordosis lumbar en de-C C D c i e n c i a portistas que inciden en la adopción de posiciones alineadas y rectificadas del raquis, como en gimnastas o bailarinas (Kums et al, 2007;Nilsson et al, 1993).…”

ResumenEl objetivo del presente estudio fue comparar la disposición sagital del raquis lumbar entre ciclistas de élite y sujetos sedentarios, en bipedestación habitual y en la posición específica de pedaleo con diferentes agarres del manillar. A un total de 50 ciclistas de élite y 55 sujetos sedentarios (grupo control) (media de edad: 21,62 ± 2,85 años) se les evaluó, mediante el Spinal Mouse®, la disposición angular del raquis lumbar en bipedestación relajada y sobre la bicicleta en los tres agarres típicos del manillar (transversal, de manetas y bajo). Los valores medios para la lordosis lumbar en bipedestación fueron de -27,90 ± 6,77º para los ciclistas y de -27,51 ± 7,09º para el grupo control (p > 0,05). Los valores angulares para el raquis lumbar sobre la bicicleta fueron de 25,86 ± 7,71º; 26,76 ± 7,83º y 29,22 ±7,77º en los ciclistas, y de 21,81 ± 8,81º; 22,48 ± 8,13º y 24,78 ± 8,03º en el grupo control, para el agarre transversal, de manetas y bajo, respectivamente. Al comparar los valores angulares entre ambos grupos, existieron diferencias significativas en los tres agarres. En conclusión, el ciclista de élite se caracteriza por una adaptación específica del raquis lumbar en la bicicleta, alcanzado una significativa mayor flexión lumbar en los diferentes agarres del manillar, mientras que en bipedestación no se producen adaptaciones asociadas a su postura de sedentación prolongada.Palabras clave: deporte, postura, lordosis, columna vertebral. AbstractThe aim of this study was to compare the sagittal lumbar spine of elite cyclists and a non-athletic population, during both standing and on the bicycle with different handlebar grips. A total of 50 elite male cyclists and 55 age-matched sedentary controls (mean age: 21.62 ± 2.85 years) were evaluated. The Spinal Mouse® was used to measure the sagittal lumbar curvature in usual upright posture and while sitting on the bicycle using lower-, middle-and upper-handlebar positions. The mean values for the lumbar spine when standing were -27.90 ± 6.77º and -27.51 ± 7.09º for the cyclists and control group, respectively (p > 0.05). The mean angular values for the lumbar spine on the bicycle were 25. 86 ± 7.71º, 26.76 ± 7.83º, and 29.22 ± 7.77º for the cyclists, and 21.81 ± 8.81º, 22.48 ± 8.13º, and 24.78 ± 8.03º for the control group, for the lower-, middle-, and upper-handlebar positions, respectively. There were significant differences between the two groups´ values in all handlebar positions evaluated on the bicycle. In conclusion, elite cyclists are characterized by a specific lumbar spine adaptation on the bicycle. The cyclists reached a greater lumbar flexion with the various handlebar positions. However, cycling training does not appear to influence lumbar curvature when standing.

“…As shown in previous research (Grabara & Hazdik, 2009;Modi et al, 2008;Oyama, Myers, Wassinger, Ricci, & Lephart, 2008;Větrovcová, 2007;Vařeková, Vařeka, Janura, Svoboda, & Elfmark, 2011;Vorálek, Süss, & Parkanová, 2007), a high number of tested volleyball players have faulty posture, tension of m. trapezius, tension of paravertebral muscles in the lower back region and (owing to a forwarded carriage of the head and shoulder protraction) intensified cervical lordosis. Some muscles or muscle groups of the tested players are weakened, especially the lower section of the abdominal muscles.…”

Volleyball is a sport with great unilateral load that can have a negative impact on a postural system. The aim of the study was to perform a detailed examination of posture and muscle imbalance in elite female volleyball athletes and, according to the results of the examination, to put together compensatory exercises and to assess their effect. A group of elite junior female volleyball players (n = 12) was examined by an experienced physiotherapist using a complex kinesiological analysis especially focused on body posture (from frontal, sagittal and dorsal plane), shortened muscles and performance of basic movement patterns (hip extension, hip abduction, sit-up, cervical flexion, shoulder abduction, push-up). The preliminary examination showed that every tested player had some kind of posture deficiency. The compensatory programme, consisting of breathing techniques, stretching exercises, strengthening exercises with an elastic band, and balance exercises with a Bosu balance trainer, was applied at the end of every training session over the competitive parts of two volleyball seasons. Before the application of the exercise programme we found flat back in 92% subjects, whereas 33% of subjects exhibited it after compensation. Improvement was noted in the intensified lumbar lordosis (from 50% subjects to 42%), and scoliotic body posture (from 50% to 17%). The biggest improvement in shortened muscles in the upper body was observed on the m. levator scapulae (from 83% subjects to 8%) and the m. trapezius (from 42% subjects to 8%); and in the lower body m. triceps surae (from 75% subjects to 33%) and hip abductors (from 83% subjects to 25%). The study suggests that balance exercises with a Bosu balance trainer and exercises with an exercise elastic band seem to be useful for volleyball since we noted improvement in body posture, movement patterns and muscle shortness. We therefore highly recommend this compensatory programme.
