20.500.12556/ReVIS-12858 VPLIV TEŽE ŠOLSKE TORBE IN TELESNE AKTIVNOSTI NA KIFOZO PRI ŠOLOOBVEZNIH OTROCIH The impact of weight of school bag and activity on kyphosis in school-age children Uvod in namen: Spremembe drže v otroštvu predstavljajo izziv za zdravstvene in izobraževalne strokovnjake. Čeprav je otroštvo obdobje telesnega razvoja, raziskave opozarjajo, da sodoben način življenja vpliva na držo otrok. Povečana kifoza je med najpogostejšimi nepravilnostmi drže in je povezana s sedečim načinom življenja, nepravilno držo ter nošenjem pretežkih šolskih torb. Namen naloge je bil raziskati povezavo med težo šolske torbe, telesno aktivnostjo in kotom kifoze pri osnovnošolskih otrocih ter prispevati k razumevanju dejavnikov, ki vplivajo na razvoj drže. Metode: Raziskava kvantitativnega tipa je vključevala otroke, starih 10–15 let, iz OŠ Šmarje pri Jelšah. Podatke smo zbirali z demografskim vprašalnikom, tehtnicami za telesno maso in torbo ter digitalnim kotomerom Meloq, telesno aktivnost pa z vprašalnikom SF-NPAQ. Statistično smo uporabili deskriptivno statistiko, hi-kvadrat, t-test in Pearsonov koeficient pri ? = 0,05. Rezultati: Med težo šolske torbe, telesno aktivnostjo in kotom kifoze ni bilo statistično značilne povezave, korelacije so bile zelo šibke (p > 0,05). Deklice niso imele višjega kota kifoze kot dečki. Uporabnost: Rezultati so uporabni za preventivne programe ohranjanja pravilne drže, fizioterapevti lahko prepoznajo rizične dejavnike in pravočasno ukrepajo. Omejitve: Majhen vzorec iz ene šole in enkratne meritve omejujejo posploševanje in zaznavo dolgoročnih učinkov. Ključne besede: kifoza, telesna aktivnost, šolska torba, otroci, šoloobvezni otroci, prsna kifoza, nahrbtnik.

Omejec) Introduction and Purpose: Postural changes in childhood present a challenge for healthcare and educational professionals. Although childhood is a period of physical development, research indicates that modern lifestyles affect children's posture. Increased kyphosis is among the most common postural abnormalities and is associated with a sedentary lifestyle, poor posture, and carrying heavy school backpacks. The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the relationship between backpack weight, physical activity, and the kyphosis angle in primary school children, contributing to the understanding of factors influencing postural development. Methods: This quantitative study included children aged 10–15 years from Šmarje pri Jelšah Primary School. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, scales for body weight and backpack weight, and a Meloq digital inclinometer to measure kyphosis angle. Physical activity was assessed with the SF-NPAQ questionnaire. Statistical analysis included descriptive statistics, chi-square test, t-test, and Pearson’s correlation coefficient at α = 0.05. Results: No statistically significant relationship was found between backpack weight, physical activity, and kyphosis angle; correlations were very weak (p > 0.05). Girls did not have a higher kyphosis angle than boys. Usability: The results are useful for designing preventive programs to maintain proper posture; physiotherapists can identify risk factors and intervene early. Limitations: A small sample from a single school and one-time measurements limit generalizability and the ability to detect long-term effects. Keywords: kyphosis, physical activity, school backpack, children, school-age children, thoracic kyphosis, backpack.
