Educational Function of Preventive and Corrective Exercises
Educational Function of Preventive and Corrective Exercises

Summary/Abstract: It is widely accepted that well – programmed systematic physical exercise is high on the scale of preventive measures aimed at preventing the changes in the body of a child resulting from negative effects of modern civilization. Posture is an essential precondition for good health, normal growth and development in general. Therefore, it is necessary to implement exercises and prevention at an early age. Programme contents of physical education are not only aimed at overcoming motor movement and development of physical and functional abilities, but at the entire development and all other components of pupil's personality: intellectual, working, moral, volitional and aesthetic. Accordingly, in order to provide systematic and positive impact of physical activity on the development of the body and the formation of the correct posture of primary school pupils and correction of improper posture, experimental program has been designed. Comprehensive preventive and corrective activities are based on the results of research from different scientific fields: results of theoretical and empirical research on the importance of preventive and corrective exercises. Results of statistical analysis on the impact of individual independent variables on the posture of pupils indicate that the internal program content of educational institutions represents an important moderator of pupils’ posture. The results of our study suggest the need for cooperation between schools and parents in developing positive attitudes of pupils towards physical exercise. We can conclude that the complexity of educational work in general, and especially the specificity and complexity of work in a typical area of physical education imposes the need for a different approach to the student. This includes, in addition to cooperation with the parents, which should be part of the development plan of each school, individualized approach to the pupil.
