“…Tebar et al [ 12 ] showed a worse health perception in youth with a higher number of sedentary activities, regardless of their physical activity habits. Prolonged sitting and excess screen time are also related to back pain at early ages [ 13 , 14 ], which has a detrimental effect on perceived health as well [ 11 , 15 ].…”

Health is an essential part of any individual, and gains particular importance in youth, as a good health at this age is more likely to reduce health risks both in the short and long term. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of physical and contextual parameters on youths’ perceived health. A total of 919 adolescents completed questionnaires on self-rated health status, electronic media use, leisure time and club physical activity, alcohol and tobacco consumption, and back pain, as well as performed the German Motor Performance Test. Participants with very good health had significantly higher physical fitness, leisure time exercise, and participated in sports clubs more often than those with poorer health. Electronic media use was significantly higher for those with poor/very poor health. Future intervention programs to improve youth health status should not only focus on active lifestyle but might also consider the impact of socioenvironmental factors, such as daily media use.

“…The most common complaint is back pain [ 10 , 11 , 12 ]. Authors indicate that carrying too heavy a BP can cause pain in the vertebral column [ 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 ] or at least more fatigue [ 17 ]. In addition, living a sedentary lifestyle may also contribute to back pain occurrence [ 16 ].…”

This article investigates schoolchildren’s ability to carry an additional load using a backpack (BP). According to scientific research, there is no precise limit to the maximum backpack load, which varies from 10% to 15% of body weight (BW). The purpose of this study was, therefore, to evaluate the influence of an additional external load carried using a backpack on gait kinematics among seven-year-old children in Poland, including assessment of the gender differences. The study was conducted among 26 (13 boys and 13 girls) primary school children aged seven years. The children walked at their preferred speed, under four conditions: with no load (0% BW) and with 10%, 15% and 20% BW. Spatiotemporal parameters were measured using the 2 m Footscan® platform system and photocell Sectro timing system. The children walked more slowly under an additional load. Their step length and single support time decreased. Their base of support, step time and double support time increased. There was no significant effect on their stride length or gait cycle time. The gait kinematic changes were most evident between 10% BW and greater loading. The results highlight how children’s gait is affected by carrying additional external loads, which should not exceed 10% BW. That limit is appropriate for both genders.

“…2) Araújo, et al 3) stated that pain is a warning sign for the body, and when this pain is chronic, the symptoms generate stress and even lead to physical disability. LBP in schoolchildren is a musculoskeletal discomfort that negatively affects the quality of life of these individuals and persists in adulthood 5) . Studies by Sedrez, et al 1) elucidate that back pain has become an issue of concern for public health organizations due to the Brazilian Journal of Development, Curitiba, v.7, n.8, p. 79104-79118 aug. 2021 frequency with which it affects people.…”

“…Moreover, time spent watching TV and practice (or not) of physical activity may also be associated with the onset of scoliosis or of pain alone. As stated by Rego and Scartoni 5) , some biological and behavioral factors influence the alteration of the spine curvature, including heredity, incorrect posture in the classroom, improper ways of carrying objects, stress, and a sedentary lifestyle.…”

This study aimed to identify the prevalence of scoliosis and back pain in students enrolled in the 9 th grade in a military police school in the State of Goiás.[Methods] A total of 113 students participated in the study, aged between 14 and 16 years. Palpatory methods were used to identify the main points that were marked with stickers highlighting the C7 and S2 vertebrae and the posterior superior iliac spine, which allowed obtaining information about the patient's back using the reports from the Vert 3D topographic system. The parameters presented were compared with the data from the questionnaire administered to the schoolchildren after they were examined. [Results] Among 113 students, 7% exhibited scoliosis. Additionally, 63.3% of boys and 87.3% of girls complained of back pain. The variables used in the statistical analyses investigated the relationship between the presence of pain and scoliosis. [Conclusion] This study
