Abstract: The aim of the research was to find out the level of the body posture in pubescent pupils of sport and non-sport classes. The observed group consisted of 75 boys in average age 12.89±0.73 years from two primary school in Púchov. To acquire data, the standardized method of sport practice – siluetogram – was used. The best achieved results were found in volleyball class (B2), then hockey class (B1) and lastly non-sport class (A). The group of pupils from sport classes (B1+B2) were evaluated by average mark (x) 2.04±0.57, whereas in the group of non-sport class was achieved average mark (x) 2.11±0.56. However, these differences weren’t on the significant level (p > 0.05). The only significant difference between groups was found in the posture of the abdomen (p < 0.05). Despite that, we claim positive affect and the importance of regular physical and sport activity on the body posture although, it is important not to forget about compensation and trying to decrease unilateral strain. The listed study is the part of research project VEGA “1/0519/19 Physical activity as prevention of health of school population in Slovakia”.
