Abstract
Introduction. Posture defects constitute a social problem and can cause negative changes in many aspects of our lives – in both physical and mental health. Prophylaxis and an appropriate degree of physical activity, which affects harmonious development, are very important here. Objective. The objective of the study was to assess the body posture of junior high school students and to determine the degree of their physical activity, and then to check whether there is a correlation between them. The study group consisted of 53 people from a junior high school in Wrocław, aged 14 to 17. Material and methods. To assess physical activity, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was used, which contains 7 questions regarding activity in the last 7 days. Body posture in the sagittal plane was examined using photogrammetry, and typology classification was based on Wolański’s method modified according to Zeyland-Malawka. Results. The results of the study were subjected to a statistical analysis, which shows that the studied group of adolescents is mostly characterized by a kyphotic type of body posture, while the least common is the balanced type. The level of physical activity of the study group can be described as sufficient, but it is worth noting that only 6% of the respondents are characterized by an insufficient level of physical activity, and only 7.5% are characterized by a high level of physical activity. Conclusions. In further analyses, it was examined whether there is a correlation between body posture and physical activity. It was found that there are no statistically significant differences between these two features in the study group.

Abstract
To study the influence of the negative psychological state of children and adolescents living on the territory of hostilities, on the formation and course of spinal pathology. The sample consisted of 1467 people aged 5–18-year-old, whose parents had no complaints of the child’s spinal pathology, i.e. “relatively healthy children in respect of spinal pathology.” The growth of pathology of the spine during periods of intensive growth of the child was confirmed: in the 5–7-year-old age group for 3.49% of children, in the 8-10-year-old age group for 13.78%, in the 10-14-year-old age group for 17.89%, in the 15–17-year-old age group for 25.15% respectively. An increase in the prevalence of scoliosis in the Donetsk oblast (excluding the temporarily occupied territories) at the level of 28.26 cases per 1,000 schoolchildren, which is more than in other regions of Ukraine. The similarity of the pathogenesis of scoliosis, stress, and hypercalciuria was determined, which explains the data obtained by us on the prevalence of scoliosis in the ATO area, actually 95.89 cases per 1000 children, and 251.53 cases per 1000 adolescents aged 15-18-year-old. The manifestations of autonomic disturbances (rs = 0.34, p ≤ 0.01), sleep disturbances (rs = 0.43, p ≤ 0.01), anxiety (rs = 0.43, p ≤ 0.01) is increased among children with significant fear of war. There is a need to consider scoliosis as a stressor, and therefore children with scoliosis should get psychological rehabilitation and expert advice.

Abstract
Non-specific low back pain (LBP) is well documented in the literature as a common health concern among adults, adolescents and even children. The purpose of the study was to determine the prevalence and characteristics of back pain at the level of different spinal segments (cervical, thoracic and lumbar) among secondary school pupils (15-20 years).A random sample of 468 secondary school pupils aged 15-20 years completed an anonymous questionnaire during a lesson. The results were subjected to a statistical analysis.A total of 374 (79.9%) teenagers reported one or more episodes of back pain, of whom only 33 (8%) had consulted a physiotherapist. 294 (62.8%) respondents had experienced recurrent pain. Most adolescents reported pain in the lumbar region, but 18% had experienced pain in the thoracic spine, and 19% had experienced cervical pain. A total of 6% of the respondents reported that the back pain had prevented them from undertaking physical activity, lifting objects or studying.1. Back pain in adolescents is a functional and social problem as well as a medical one. 2. It considerably impairs the ability to carry out activities of daily living, which may significantly disrupt normal development in adolescence and influence career choices in the future. 3. Our study demonstrated that back pain in adolescents should not be perceived as limited to non-specific low back pain.
