Piotr Kurzeja, Pawel Lizis
Abstract :
The aim of the study was to compare the characteristics of body posture (BP) in the sagittal plane (SP) in obese and non–obese girls of school age. The study included 200 girls aged of 13–16 years attending junior secondary schools in Żywiec region. We separated obese and non–obese girls. The posture has been studied with the help of photogrammetric method of Moire (PMM), which included 8 parameters in the SP. To evaluate the differences between the characteristics of BP of obese and non–obese girls we used the test of Mann–Whitney U. In the individual rankings, we took the value of the coefficient Z and the assumed level of statistical significance of p < 0.05. The obese girls show a worse BP in SP than the non–obese girls. There was a significant difference between the BP (p < 0.05) in obese and non–obese girls.
