Study postural control position in relation to anthropometric and postural Indicators of Active Persons

The purpose of this study was to investigate postural control position in relation to anthropometric and postural Indicators of Active Persons.

The statistical population of the present study was active Persons (mean age: 21.15 ± 2.02 years, height: 1.78 ± 0.07 cm, weight: 71/50 ± 10.15 kg, BMI: 22.45 ± 2.53 kg / m2) University of Guilan were in the academic year of 97-98. The selection of the statistical population was available and the subjects were selected randomly from among male students of physical education. A Number of 40 students was selected as the sample.  The anthropometric and the postural Indicators of the present study were chest width, chest depth, chest circumference, forward head, round shoulder, kyphosis and lordosis. In order to Assessment postural control, the SLS test was used in four different position. Pearson correlation coefficient and linear regression model were used to examine the significance of variables.

The results of this study showed a significant relationship between the forward head with the first condition (r = +0.633) and the depth of the chest with the third condition (r = -0.409), the fourth condition (r = -0.372), the total condition (r= -0.428) and chest circumference with the third condition (r = -0.354). There was no significant relationship between kyphosis, lordosis, round shoulder, width of chest with postural control.
Discussion and

Overall, in the present study, there was a significant but weak relationship between some anthropometric and postural Indicators with postural control. And it seems that anthropometric and postural indicators alone cannot affect the postural control position of active and healthy male students.
