Purpose. One of the aims of football training is to enhance the musculo-ligamentous apparatus and increase mobility of the lower limbs' joints. Proper football footwear is compulsory as games are being played on different surfaces. This has direct impact on the placement of one's feet and distribution of forces within feet arcs. The purpose of this study was to compare the placement of feet and toes of boys training football with their peers who did not practise football. Basic procedures. This study was carried out on 72 junior football players, aged 10-14 years, who were divided into 4 groups according to age and training level. The control group included 80 boys of similar age. The examination was performed using Moiré technique. Alignment of the knees was assessed visually. Computer analysis of the results covered the following parameters: Clarke's angle, α, β and γ angles, length-to-width index and KY index. Main findings. Feet anomalies were more frequent in footballers. In the older players these were mainly varus knees (around 40%), while the younger one's had valgus knees more often than the non-players. Hallux valgus (over 20%), especially of the left foot, and varus toes (over 90%) were also more frequent in the non-training boys. Besides there was a decrease of curvature of the longitudinal and transverse feet arcs that was more frequent in the right feet. However, longitudinal and transverse characteristics of the left feet arcs did not differ between the exercising and non-exercising groups. Conclusions. The examination of the feet confirmed the impact of football training on the placement of feet and toes and curvature of the feet arcs.

Study aim: To assess body posture and somatic parameters in young females practicing basketball in comparison with their non-training peers and to state whether there is a relationship between the quality of one's posture and the length and frequency of training.Material and methods: The study included 32 young female basketball players aged 13-15 years old. The period of basketball practice was 3-4 years for the group aged 13-14 years; the frequency of practice was 3-7 times per week. In the case of the group of 15-year-olds, it was 4-5 years, 4-7 times a week, respectively. The control group consisted of 37 young female subjects in the same age brackets that did not participate in any directed physical activity. Body height was measured with the use of a height meter at medical scales, whereas body mass, fat mass, and total body water mass were defined with the use of Tanita electronic scale. A specialist device using the projection Moiré method (MORA, CQElektronik System, Poland) was used to assess one's body posture.Results: Body height and water mass were significantly different in the younger group. However, the parameters of body posture differed significantly only in the group of 15-year-olds. The following have been observed: much greater asymmetries in pelvic placement in the transverse plane (p<0.05), significantly greater asymmetries of shoulder blades in relation to the transverse plane (p<0.01), as well as significantly smaller thoracic kyphosis angle (p<0.05) in female basketball players in comparison with the placement of the above parameters in their non-training peers. Moreover, correlations between the frequency of basketball practice and the deflection of the line of spinous processes, torso inclination angle, placement of shoulder blades in the transverse plane and towards the spine, kyphosis angle, and a synthetic index of body posture (i.e. postural symmetry) were noted.Conclusions: Training basketball may lead to increased occurrence of asymmetry of one's body posture.

Celem pracy było porównanie postawy ciała dzieci z placówek opiekuńczo-wychowawczych z postawą ciała dzieci z rodzin pełnych. Badaniami objęto 28 dziewcząt i 27 chłopców z domów dziecka, a grupę kontrolną stanowiło 36 dziewcząt i 36 chłopców. Przedział wiekowy wszystkich badanych to 8-13 lat. Do oceny postawy ciała wykorzystano metodę fotogrametryczną. Badania wykazały, iż u dzieci z domów dziecka notowano większe spłaszczenie kifozy piersiowej, częściej występowały też asymetrie trójkątów talii oraz skrzywienia boczne kręgosłupa z odchyleniem powyżej 10 mm. Zarówno w grupie eksperymentalnej, jak i kontrolnej ocena postawy w płaszczyźnie strzałkowej wskazała na znaczny odsetek postaw złych wg typologii Wolańskiego, przy tym u dzieci osieroconych były one częstsze, a dominującym typem postawy był typ lordotyczny.

The purpose of the study was to compare body posture in orphan children with body posture in children from full families of the same age. The study was carried out in an experimental group consisting of 28 orphan girls and 27 boys and in a control group numbering 36 boys and 36 girls. The age of all the examined children ranged from 8 to 13 years. Body posture evaluation was carried out by means of photogrammetric method - the Moiré technique. The results showed greater flattening of thoracic kyphosis in orphan children as well as more frequent asymmetries of the waist's triangles and scoliosis of inclination over 10mm. In both the experimental and control group evaluation of the body posture in the sagittal plane revealed a high percentage of defective posture cases according to the Wolańki's typology and in the orphan children they were more common and lordotic posture type was the predominant one.
