The efficiency of physical therapy and swimming lessons to static trunk muscle endurance, balance and posture for 7 - 9 years old boys

Abstract

Subject: influence of physical therapy and swimming lessons to static trunk muscle endurance, balance and posture for 7 - 9 years old boys. Research aim: Identify and compare the efficiency of physical therapy, and both physical therapy and swimming lessons' to static trunk muscle endurance, balance and posture for 7 - 9 years old boys. Objectives: 1. Evaluate the effect of physical therapy to static trunk muscle endurance, balance and posture for boys with irregular posture. 2. Evaluate the effect of physical therapy and swimming lessons' to static trunk muscle endurance, balance and posture for boys with irregular posture. 3. Determine which method improves efficiency to static trunk muscle endurance, balance and posture for boys with irregular posture. Research hypothesis: it is considered, that static trunk muscle endurance, balance and posture develops better for boys with both physical therapy and swimming lessons' compared to only physical therapy. Research results: balance, static trunk muscle endurance and posture improved statistically significant (p0,05) compared both groups. Conclusions: 1. Balance, static trunk muscle endurance and posture statistically significant improved by using physical therapy. 2. Balance, static trunk muscle endurance and posture statistically significant improved by using physical therapy and swimming lessons. 3. Physical therapy, and both physical therapy and swimming lessons', has equal effect of improving balance, static trunk muscle endurance and posture
