Factors that contribute to Postural Defects - JSS2 Physical and health education Lesson Note

Several factors contribute to postural defects. Poor nutrition can lead to weak bones and muscles, exacerbating alignment issues. A lack of exercise contributes to muscle weakness and imbalance, further impacting posture. Wearing uneven-soled shoes or tight clothing can alter body mechanics, potentially leading to postural misalignments. Additionally, poor sleeping positions and disproportionate growth during developmental stages can also contribute to the development of postural defects. Addressing these causes through proper nutrition, regular exercise, ergonomic practices, and timely medical intervention can help prevent and manage postural defects effectively.
