POSTURAL STATUS OF CHILDREN OF YOUNG SCHOOL LEADERSHIP OF URBAN AND RURAL ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

Summary: The aim of the research was to determine whether there is a difference in the postural status of children of the younger school age of different social environments. The total sample of respondents was 120 pupils of the first grade, age 7 (± 6 months), of which 60 were children from the urban environment (Novi Sad) and 60 from the rural environment (Krupanj). The results have shown that over the past few years, the sedentary lifestyle, in addition to the urban environment, has taken quite a lot in rural areas, which can be noticed by the worsening postural status of children of the younger school age of these communities.

Key words: differences, environment, children, deformities
