Summary/Abstract: The aim of the pilot monitoring is to identify the situation in the school environment in relation to the body posture of younger school aged children. In the case study classes, we are monitoring the weight of school bags that pupils carry on their backs on a daily basis. Pilot case studies were conducted in 2015-2016 at three schools in the Czech Republic. The results of the survey will serve as a basis for further extensive research into the specific factors of the school environment and their impact on the body posture of children.
