Abstract
Introduction. This study analyzes changes in dynamic balance among sedentary male adolescents following 8 weeks of Asian squat exercise.
Methods. This study was designed as a single-blind, randomized controlled trial. A total of 24 sedentary male students were randomly assigned to either the treatment group (n = 12), which performed Asian squat exercises three times per week for eight weeks, or the control group (n = 12), which did not receive any intervention. The outcome was measured using the Four-Square Step Test (FSST) before and after the intervention.
Results. A significant improvement in FSST results was observed in the treatment group at week 4 (p = 0.004) and week 8 (p < 0.001) after the intervention. At the end of the eight weeks, the treatment group showed a statistically significant improvement compared to the control group (p = 0.005), with a large effect size (Cohen’s d = 1.29).
Conclusion. Eight weeks of Asian squat training is an effective and safe exercise to enhance dynamic balance in sedentary male adolescents.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG07B237

Abstract
Objective. The main objective of the study is to assess the knowledge of parents/guardians about body posture defects in children at early school age. During the study, additional objectives were set regarding the determination of the level of parents’ knowledge in selected topics. These topics concerned the type of body posture defects in children, factors influencing their formation, as well as determining the knowledge of parents in the use of preventive measures.
Material and methods. The study group consisted of 300 parents of children at early school age. The study was conducted on the basis of an original, anonymous questionnaire consisting of 24 questions. Respondents provided answers to questions concerning, among others, the source of obtaining information on posture defects, knowledge of individual posture defects and methods of prevention.
Results. The study showed that people living in larger towns/cities and having higher education have a wider range of knowledge in the field of body posture defects. In addition, respondents with higher education know and use posture defect prevention methods much more often than people with lower education. According to the respondents, wearing a backpack on one shoulder is one of the most common causes of posture defects. Parents who do not know whether their child has a posture defect relatively rarely use preventive methods.
