Assessment of body statics in female students of the Faculty of Pharmacy Comenius University Bratislava

Abstract

The research paper is aimed at finding out and evaluating the differences in the distribution of body weight between the right and left lower limb in randomly selected female students in physical education classes at the Faculty of Pharmacy (FoPh) in Bratislava. The research group consisted of 118 female students of the FoPh in Bratislava with an average age of 20.5 years. We evaluated the symmetry of the distribution of body weight between the right and left lower limb using the method of weighing on two calibrated scales. The obtained and processed data show that 102 FoPh UK probands (86.44 %) of the total number had normal body statics, or compensated scoliotic deviation and in 16 probands (13.5 5%) we can speak of decompensated or incorrect posture.
