O PADRÃO POSTURAL ENTRE OS ALUNOS ATIVOS E SEDENTÁRIOS NO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL

The postural pattern of kids must be essentially preserved, because it is in this phase that they develop the most, and at the same time, their bodies are in structural accommodations. Nowadays, due to technological advance, majority of children have become sedentary, which affects their anatomical composition, impairing their health. Therefore, the goal of this study was to identify the postural of active kids and sedentary kids in elementary school. Were used is students at Professora Hilda RomaziniMeloSchool, União da Vitória – PR, in the year 2018. The sample was composed of kids of both sexes, between the ages of 8 to 10 years old. The data collection instrument used was Pate’s formulary, published by Mota, 2012. In order to do the postural assessment, it was used a simetograph. At the end of the study, it was observed that more than 70 percent of the students had any kind of postural deviation; as the amount of physical activity increased among the students, it was possible to notice that the development of their postural patterns became better. All of the alterations that were found are predisposed to correction by a muscular strengthening and stretching program properly accompanied and oriented by a Physical Education professional.
