Assessing the Relationship between Body Composition and Spinal Curvatures in Young Adults
Journal Title: Archives of Sports Medicine and Physiotherapy - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: Although it is thought that abdominal adiposity is one of the risk factor for postural deviation, such as increased lumbar lordosis, the studies in the literature only explored the effects of body mass index on spinal alignment and postural changes. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation with detailed body composition and spine alignment in healthy young adults.
