The Different Body Posture
Sway Back Posture- Sway back posture, also known as lumbar hyperlordosis or
excessive lordosis, is a postural deviation characterized by an exaggerated inward
curvature of the lower back (lumbar spine). In this posture, the pelvis tilts forward,
causing the lower back to arch excessively. As a result, the abdomen protrudes forward,
and the buttocks may appear more prominent.
Lumbar Lordosis Posture- Lumbar lordosis posture, also known as hyperlordosis or
simply "swayback," refers to an excessive inward curvature of the lower back (lumbar
spine). In this posture, the lower back is arched more than the average curve, creating a
noticeable curve in the lumbar region. Lumbar lordosis is a normal and natural curve of
the spine, but an excessive or exaggerated curve can lead to postural imbalances and
potential discomfort.
Thoracic Kyphosis Posture- Thoracic kyphosis posture, also known as an excessive
thoracic kyphosis or "hunchback," refers to an exaggerated forward curvature of the
upper back in the thoracic spine. In this posture, the upper back appears rounded and
the shoulders may be rounded forward. While a certain degree of thoracic kyphosis is
normal, an excessive or pronounced curve can lead to postural imbalances, discomfort,
and potential functional limitations.
Forward Head Posture- Forward head posture, also known as anterior head carriage or
forward neck posture, is a common postural deviation where the head is positioned in
front of the body's vertical alignment. In this posture, the head protrudes forward,
leading to an increased curvature in the cervical spine (neck).
Good Posture- Good posture refers to the correct alignment and positioning of the body
while standing, sitting, or moving. It involves maintaining a balanced and neutral
position of the spine, joints, and muscles, which helps to distribute the body's weight
evenly and reduce stress on the musculoskeletal system. Good posture promotes
optimal body mechanics and can contribute to better overall health and well-being.
SKILL/PERFORMANCE RELATED
1. Agility- is the ability to change direction quickly and efficiently with control and precision. It
involves a combination of balance, coordination, speed, and reaction time. Agility is crucial in
sports that require rapid changes in direction, such as soccer, basketball, or tennis.
2. Power- is the combination of strength and speed. It refers to the ability to generate force
quickly, which is important for explosive movements like jumping, throwing, or sprinting.
3. Balance- refers to the ability to maintain a stable and controlled body position, both at rest
and during movement. It is essential for activities that require coordination and stability, such
as walking on uneven surfaces or participating in sports like gymnastics or surfing. Balance
training exercises, such as standing on one leg or using unstable surfaces, can help improve
balance.
4. Speed- is the ability to perform movements or cover a distance in the shortest possible time.
It is relevant in many sports and activities, including sprinting, swimming, or cycling.
5. Coordination- is the ability to integrate multiple movements smoothly and efficiently. It
involves the harmonious functioning of muscles, joints, and the nervous system. Good
coordination is necessary for activities that require precise movements, such as playing a
musical instrument, dancing, or performing complex sports skills.
Types of Stretching
Static Strength Training- muscles that do not change in length during contraction.
Dynamic Strength Training- muscles that change in length during exercise
