Impact of a physical activity program on body posture in young elementary school students

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of a structured physical activity program on the body posture of young elementary school students. Given the increasing prevalence of poor posture due to sedentary lifestyles and increased screen time, this research aims to assess whether regular, organized physical activity can improve postural alignment among children aged 6 to 10 years. Through a combination of quantitative posture assessments and qualitative feedback from physical education teachers, the study provides insights into the effectiveness of exercise programs in promoting healthier body mechanics in young children.
