Abstract

For many years, posture has been one of the most studied health issues because of its consequences and its prevalence among young people. The body shape changes a lot throughout life and it is part of the natural development, but during puberty, period posture seems to be more flexible due to many factors. Posture is a physiological position in which the various body segments work together to maintain balance against gravity in everyday tasks such as standing, sitting, or lying down. Our research aims to look at the rising trend of young people becoming more conscious of their posture. For this study, we used Jab Ref 2.10 to collect as much scientific data as possible that was directly connected to the study's goal. We focused our analysis all over the research articles that stated data about the role of the posture background and its application in everyday tasks. In this context, our study revealed inconsistent data due to this possible correlation between posture awareness and its use in daily live tasks. Almost all of the scientific studies analyzed found that while young people are aware of posture, they do not completely appreciate it, resulting in back discomfort and a deterioration in numerous learning mechanisms, compromising their academic advancement considerably. It is still unknown what role postural awareness plays in everyday tasks and how it is used. In the future, further research is needed to clarify all of the inconsistencies found in this study regarding the association between posture awareness and proper posture in young individuals.
