Posture
Posture can be defined as the maintenance of correct alignment of body parts.
People thought of posture as maintaining static or unmoving positions, but postural
adjustments for maintenance of good posture during rest or activity involve
continuous adjustments and awareness of where the body is in space.
Poor postural habits leads to body malalignment and musculoskeletal conditions e.g.
low back pain.
According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 15% of adult physicians
visits are related to back pain.
Low back pain is common in:
1. sedentary individuals with poor sitting posture
2. individuals who injure their back during manual labor.
In both instances, proper posture during sitting and lifting heavy objects play a key
role in reducing the risk of low back pain and disability.
2. BMI is the key for relating a persons body weight to height. The BMI
equation is as follows:
BMI = M/(H X H)
Where M = body mass in kg, H = height in meters.
A higher BMI score indicates higher levels of body fat. This calculation is
accurate for normal populations but is not valid of elderly populations,
pregnant women or muscular athletes.
Although these measures provide a variety of indices for physical fitness, it is important to
consider that physical fitness is influenced by
1. Genetics
2. Environmental influences
3. Individual's activity levels
