Abstract

The article is devoted to the urgent problem of preserving and strengthening the health of children and adolescents in modern conditions, where one of the key indicators of physical well-being is posture. The work emphasizes the critical importance of correct posture for the optimal functioning of the musculoskeletal system and internal organs, especially in adolescence, which is characterized by intensive growth and hormonal changes. This period is most vulnerable to the emergence and consolidation of such disorders as scoliosis, kyphosis and lordosis, caused by a complex of factors: hypodynamia, prolonged static load, inconsistency of muscle and bone development. The consequences of posture disorders go beyond aesthetics, causing chronic pain, deterioration of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Based on the analysis, it was established that physical training is the basis of correction. However, a number of theoretical and practical shortcomings in the modern correction system have been identified: insufficient scientific substantiation of methodological approaches, weak individualization of programs, lack of qualified personnel and low motivation of adolescents to study. The work argues for the need for a comprehensive, systematic and individualized approach to correction, which involves strengthening the muscle corset, forming a conscious stereotype of correct posture and using specialized physical education tools. It is concluded that early diagnosis, conscious participation of the child and creation of a favorable motor regime are the key to preventing the progression of deformities and are a long-term investment in the health of an adult.
