BODY POSTURE IN FEMALE VOLLEYBALL PLAYERS OF DIFFERENT AGE GROUPS
Journal Title: Sport Mont - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue 43
Abstract
Improper postures due to the weakened structure of postural muscles, detected during the period of growth and development, especially those discovered at an early age, can be corrected with additional programs of physical exercise. Early, i.e. timely diagnosis is the most important element of successful treatment (Paušić, 2007) of physical deformities. Method: In a sample of 60 female volleyball players of ŽOK “CEV” from Sombor, which were divided into three subsamples based on age (8-10 years, 11-13 years and 14-16 years) the evaluation of postural status was performed using a modified method of Napoleon Wolanski according to Radosavljević (2001). Condition of individual body segments was expressed in percentage and numerically. For further statistical analysis of the data a nonparametric chi-square test was used, namely Cross-tabulation. Results: The results of the chi-square test indicated a statistically significant differences between the groups tested regarding the variable Deviation of the spine in the frontal plane (p=0.03) in favor of young female volleyball players. Regarding other studied variables of postural status no statistically significant differences were observed. Discussion: Female volleyball players from the first tested group are exposed to the training of basic technical elements (playing the ball with fingers and digging), and can be assumed that at their age, factors of proper physical posture were not primarily influenced by certain kinesiological operators (exercises). Girls at this age are faced with the basic elements of volleyball that are proven to help in the development of proper body posture (Grigoris, Malousaris, Nikolaos, Bergeles, Barzouka & George, 2006), but during training girls do not perform properly some elements which results in frequent repetition of errors which can lead to irregular body posture (perhaps only in a certain number of female volleyball players as was the case in this paper). In addition, during the performance of certain technical elements (forearm play, digging) where kyphotic body posture is emphasized, it can lead to a negative impact on the correct posture in such children. This study included children of different age with changes in shoulder-spatula region, but the percentage of those children was very small and negligible.
