Summary/Abstract: What it is about: The fundamental argument for placing movement in an educational context lies in the strong links that are developed alongside the major biological functions with psychological processes and especially with cognitive ones. Motric activity sustains life; it is a means of survival, of adapting the human being to the environment and a factor contributing to cultural, social and economic progress. What we propose: • Detection of postural deficiencies in children from the 3rd to the 4th grade through screening in schools. • The early detection of postural deficiencies and the creation of a prevention program in order to improve the postural attitude of the person and their successful integration into the labour market in the long-term. The research method is experimental, which is a multilateral system of reality knowledge using “experimental reasoning, which processes facts from observations and experiment”. Who would benefit and in what ways: The students in the research will benefit from a postural evaluation made with specialized equipment, which is impossible in schools at the moment due to a lack of means to appreciate the postural attitude in medical clinics. Conclusions: The postural deficiencies in children, found and not treated at the right moment, are the main reasons for the deformations in adult age, which affect the economical and social output of a large part of the active citizens.
