摘要：The study was conducted on a sample of 90 students of both genders, 11 to 13 years old. The participants
were students from primary school “Tušanj” and “Brčanska Malta” located in Tuzla. The aim of the study
is to determine postural differences between boys and girls, aged 11 to 13. The postural status was
evaluated using 12 variables which reflected on the position of head, shoulders, hips, pelvis (frontal and
lateral position) as well as neck pressure, the center of the body mass, Q angle of knees, loss of height from
measured stature and posture number. For the purposes of the research, Posture Pro V software was used,
whereas anatomical determinants of the body were selected bilaterally (head, torso, legs/hips, knees and
ankles) through frontal plane (frontal position) and sagittal plane (lateral position). To determine the
difference between boys and girls, aged 11 to 13, the Independent Samples t-Test was used. The acquired
results indicate that boys had better postural status in comparison with girls. Poor posture could be
explained by the fact that girls enter into puberty earlier than boys. It led to rapid height growth, when the
muscular system is not developed enough to maintain a proper function/coordination between body
segments. Also, it could be stated that disproportion between phase of the growth spurt, skeletal
development and insufficient body activity could be a reason for poor posture girls have in comparison
with boys, aged 11 to 13.
