Comparing two corrective exercise approaches for body image and upper-quadrant posture in schoolgirls with hyperkyphosis.

ABSTRACT: Proper posture is essential for healthy living. Maintaining an ideal upright posture is one of the most critical indicators of the health of the musculoskeletal and movement systems. The current study compared the effectiveness of 6 weeks of NASM-based exercise training and eccentric-based exercise programs on body image and upper-quarter posture in schoolgirls with hyperkyphosis. In this randomized, controlled study, two intervention groups that received 6 weeks of NASM and eccentric-based exercise were compared with a control group that did nothing but continue their daily activities. For the purpose of conducting the experiment, 14 subjects were assigned to two groups (eccentric-based and control), and 12 subjects were assigned to the NASM group by using a simple blocked randomization m
