| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to clarify the effect of muscle strength, muscle mass and physical activity on posture.
The questionnaire survey of 410 elementary and junior high school students revealed that 72.8 percent of the students, who feel their posture bad, have less opportunities to exercise, except physical education, compared with those who do not feel their posture bad. In addition, the investigation of 33 junior high school students indicated that the smallness of trunk and leg muscle mass is associated in some way with the degree of the spine curvature and the forward head posture, and that the correctness of posture is not significantly related with the amount of physical activities.
These results suggested the possibility that the correctness of posture is affected by trunk and leg muscle mass, but not by the amount of physical activities.
