Abstract

The main objective of this study was to know the prevalence of lower back pain and to evaluate the effects of a didactic postural education unit on the theoretical knowledge of back health, as well as the effects on the endurance of the extensor, inclining and flexor trunk muscles in students of 1st ESO. 18 students (10 boys and 8 girls) of 12.22 ± .43 years old from a school belonging to the Valencian Community participated. An initial assessment (Pretest) of theoretical knowledge and physical aptitudes was carried out through various field tests. After this, the intervention program was applied, in which a postural education unit composed of 8 sessions was developed, being the first one on theoretical content and the remaining 7 practices. After the application of the postural unit, the same tests (Postest) were carried out. The results showed statistically significant improvements after the application of the didactic unit in the knowledge about back health (p ≤ .004) and on the strength of the trunk musculature (p ≤ .001) in students of 1st ESOs. The improvements produced can have important implications in the prevention of low back pain in school age.
