Abstract. In the last few years the increasing number of postural deformities in children, athletes and non – athletes is evident. This alarming problem has forced a great number of home and foreign authors to deal with it. The goal of this research is to compare the differences in the methodology of research and results made by home and foreign authors. The selection of studies has been done based on the problems of the postural status of children and adolescents, athletes and non – athletes. The narrow selection includes 72 studies (local and foreign ones), with a note that the sample of research individuals included individuals younger than the age of 25. By analyzing the selected studies we reached the conclusion that there is a difference in the approach and methodology of studies between home and foreign authors. The results of all the reviewed studies also show statistically relevant changes under the influence of the realized corrective programs. Therefore, the focus is on the necessity of prevention and diagnosing postural deformities with the aim of their effective correction. This is precisely the reason why the authors emphasize the necessity for regular and systematic physical activity.
Key words:  postural deformities, athletes, schoolchildren, anthropological status, research methodology
PREGLED ISTRAŽIVANJA POSTURALNIH POREMEĆAJA DOMAĆIH I INOSTRANIH AUTORA U PERIODU OD 2006. DO 2009. GODINE
Poslednjih godina evidentna je prisutnost sve većeg broja posturalnih poremećaja kod dece, sportista i nesportista. Alarmantnost ovog problema je navela veliki broj domaćih i inostranih autora da se pozabave istim. Cilj ovog istraživanja je da se uporede razlike u metodologiji istraživanja i rezultata do kojih su došli domaći i inostrani autori. Selekcija radova je izvršena na osnovu problematike koja se odnosi na posturalni status dece i omladine, sportista i nesportista. Uža selekcija obuhvata 72 rada (domaćih i inostranih), uz napomenu da su uzorak ispitanika činili mlađi od 25 godina. Analizom selektiranih studija dolazi se do zaključka sa postoji razlika u pristupu i metodologiji rada između domaćih i inostranih autora. Rezultati svih pregledanih studija takođe ukazuju na statistički značajne promene pod uticajem realizovanih korektivnih programa. Zato se akcenat stavlja na neophodnost prevencije i ranog dijagnostikovanja posturalnih poremećaja u cilju efikasnije korekcije. I upravo iz tog razloga, autori ističu neophodnost redovnog i sistematskog bavljenje fizičkom aktivnošću.
