Posture refers to how one holds their body and can be either static or dynamic. Good posture maintains the natural curves of the spine and keeps the head above the shoulders with shoulders over the hips. It allows the body to function with maximum efficiency. Poor posture involves asymmetrical or non-neutral body positions that can lead to issues like back pain. Developing good posture involves maintaining the natural spinal curves through strength and flexibility.

3. POSTURE
• Posture is how you hold your body.
There are two types,
• Static posture- the body and its segments
are aligned and maintained in certain
positions. Examples include standing, sitting,
lying, and kneeling.
• Dynamic posture- the body or its segments
are moving—walking, running, jumping,
throwing, and lifting.

4. inactive posture
• Inactive postures- These are postures or
attitudes adopted for resting or sleeping. They
require theoretically minimal muscle activity,
and are usually assumed in need of relaxation.

5. Active
• Active postures can be either static or
dynamic. A static posture occurs when we
maintain one alignment for a prolonged
period of time. Examples include standing,
sitting, or kneeling. Dynamic postures refer to
body alignments that occur when the body
and/or limbs are moving such as walking,
jumping, or running.

6. GOOD POSTURE
• It is used with maximum efficiency and
minimum effort
• Good posture is important to your overall
health and offers a variety of benefits
including reduced back pain, increased energy,
and greater confidence.

7. Development of good posture
• The key to good posture is the
position of your spine. Your spine
has three natural curves - at your
neck, mid back, and low back.
• Correct posture should maintain
these curves, but not increase them.
• .Your head should be above your
shoulders, and the top of your
shoulder should be over the hips.

8. Poor posture
• Bad posture, or poor
posture, is a body position
that is asymmetrical or non-
neutral. For example, if you
have an excessively large
curve in the lower back (a
“swayback,” or lordosis), that
is considered poor posture.

9. Relaxation
• It's a process that decreases the
stress effects on your mind and
body. Relaxation techniques can
help you cope with everyday
stress.
• And these techniques can help
with long-term stress or stress
related to various health
problems, such as heart disease
and pain.

10. Mobility
• Mobility refers to the joint's ability to move
through a given range of motion. A healthy
shoulder is a great
• example of a joint that has a large range of
motion, with good mobility. The mobility
allows us to use our arm/hand in many
directions

11. Muscle power
• Muscular power refers to a great force
production over a short period of time, such
as in fast leg kicks and explosive jumping.
Muscular endurance is when less force is
sustained over a longer period

12. Presentation of good posture
• The ears should be aligned with the
shoulders and the shoulders aligned with
the hips. The shoulders should be relaxed
and elbows are close to the sides of the
body. The angle of the elbows, hips and
knees is approximately 90 degrees. The feet
flat on the floor.
