Abstract. The aim of the current research was to determine the frequency of the postural disorders of the spinal column among elite male and female swimmers, and to determine the causes and consequences of their occurrence. A sample of 30 male and female swimmers aged 13 to 26 ± 6 months was used to determine the postural status by means of the Spinal Mouse device, and their anthropometric measurements. The results of the measuring have indicated the presence of four postural disorders of the spinal column (flatback syndrome, scoliotc, kyphotic, and lordosis bad posture), where scoliotic bad posture is the most frequent postural disorder and can be found among all of the participants. The correlation between competitive disciplines and certain postural disorders has not been determined.
Key words: postural disorders, swimming, spinal column, elite swimmers
UČESTALOST POSTURALNIH POREMEĆAJA KIČMENOG STUBA KOD VRHUNSKIH SRPSKIH PLIVAČA
Cilj aktuelnog istraživanja bio je da se utvrdi učestalost posturalnih poremećaja kičmenog stuba kod vrhunskih plivača i plivačica i utvrde uzročno posledične veze njihovog nastanka. Na uzorku od 30 plivača i plivačica uzrasta od 13 do 26 godina ± šest meseci, utvrđivan je posturalni status, uređajem Spinal Mouse i primenom antropometrije. Rezultati merenja pokazali su prisutnost četiri posturalna poremećaja kičmenost stuba (ravna leđa, skoliotično, kifotično i lordotično loše držanje), pri čemu je skoliotično loše držanje najučestaliji posturalni poremećaj prisutan kod svih ispitanika. Povezanost takmičarskih disciplina sa određenim posturalnim poremećajima nije utvrđena.
