To evaluate and compare the posture in young female handball players and a group of non-training peers.
125 handball players and 135 non-training individuals as a control group. All the subjects were aged 12-15. Measurements of basic somatic parameters (body height and mass, BMI, fat mass and total body water) were taken with an electronic balance 'Tanita'. The posture was evaluated using the moiré method. We analysed the shape of the spine in the sagittal plane and the position of the spine, pelvis and shoulder girdle in terms of symmetry.
In 13-year-old handball players there was a smaller inclination of the thoracolumbar segment and a greater forward tilt of the torso. Among the training 15-year-olds, the inclination of the lower back, the sum of angles of anteroposterior curvatures and the angle of lumbar lordosis were smaller than in their non-training peers. Moreover, a correct pelvic alignment in the frontal plane, and pelvis and scapulas asymmetries in the transverse plane were more common in handball players.
The formation of anteroposterior curvatures of the spine diversified some of the age groups of training and non-training young females. Handball training can affect the quality of posture.
评估并比较年轻女性手球运动员与一组非训练同龄人之间的姿势。
125名手球运动员和135名非训练个体作为对照组。所有受试者年龄在12至15岁之间。使用“百利达”电子秤测量基本身体参数（身高、体重、BMI、体脂肪和全身水分）。采用莫尔条纹法评估姿势。我们分析了矢状面脊柱的形态以及脊柱、骨盆和肩胛带在对称性方面的位置。
13岁的手球运动员胸腰段倾斜度较小，躯干前倾较大。在15岁接受训练的人群中，下背部倾斜度、前后弯曲角度总和以及腰椎前凸角度均小于未接受训练的同龄人。此外，手球运动员在额状面骨盆排列正确，在横断面骨盆和肩胛骨不对称更为常见。
脊柱前后弯曲的形成使一些训练和未训练的年轻女性年龄组有所不同。手球训练会影响姿势质量。
