摘要：Puberty is a critical period for the possibility of development of postural disorders. Proper physical activity makes it possible to correct postural disorders and develop positive motor habits. The aim of this study was to analyze the postural status of primary school pupils in Novi Sad and to determine whether there are any statistically significant differences in relation to the sport in which the participants are engage in. The sample consisted of 197 students aged between 11 and 12. Postural status was determined by the clinical method. The data were analyzed by the SPSS statistical software, version 20, and the differences were determined by the χ2 test at the p≤0.05 significance level. The results show that the most common postural disorders are flat feet (62.9%), winged scapula (53.3%), knock knees (29.9%), left thoracic scoliosis (28.9%) and lordosis (23.9%). Significant differences in the postural disorders winged scapula (p=0.050), left thoracic scoliosis (p=0.000) and knock knees(p=0.000) were identified between participants who were not engaged in sports and those who were engaged in different sports. Coaches and physical education teachers should insist on their students and athletes performing the exercises properly, and include corrective exercises in their work programs.
