Abstract. The high incidence of postural disorders in certain branches of sport, especially among adolescents has questioned the influence of sports activities on the postural status of athletes. Although there is still no definite opinion about the connection between sports and postural disorders, researchers have established the existence of certain factors such as amenorrhea, weakness of the joints, highly repetitive activity of sports, muscle imbalance and others that could affect the occurrence or development of some postural disorders. These factors, along with the influence of the heritage of athletes, justify the thesis of certain authors, that scoliosis, kyphosis and lordosis are multifactorial disorders.
Key words:  postural disorders, sport, physical activity, athletes

UTICAJ SPORTA NA RAZVOJ POSTURALNIH POREMEĆAJA KOD SPORTISTA
Visoka stopa učestalosti poremećaja u držanju tela u određenim vrstama sporta, naročito među adolescentima je dovela u pitanje uticaj sportskih aktivnosti na držanje sportista. Iako i dalje ne postoji jasno izražen stav o vezama između sporta i poremećaja u držanju tela, istraživači su utvrdili postojanje određenih faktora kao što su amenoreja, slabost u zglobovima, veliki broj ponovljenih pokreta u sportu, disbalans u mišićima i drugi koji bi mogli da utiču na učestalost ili razvoj nekih poremećaja u držanju tela. Ovi faktori, zajedno sa uticajem naslednih faktora sportista, opravdavaju tezu određenih autora da su skolioza, kifoza i lordoza multifaktorijalni poremećaji.
