Results: 125 citizens from Endriejavas township, Klaipeda district took part in the research, 74 women (59.2 %) and 51 men (40.8%). The results revealed that the sleep quality of men is much better than those of women (p=0.018): the worst sleep quality is in the age range of women from 45 to 54 (p<0.001), whereas the age range of men with the worst sleep quality is 55-64 (p>0.05).

Bakalauro darbe vertinama 8 klasės moksleivių laikysena stovint sagitalinėje ir frontalinėje plokštumose ir stuburo mobilumas/paslankumas. Tyrime dalyvavo vienos Šiaulių progimnazijos 26 aštuntos klasės moksleiviai. Iš jų 10 merginų ir 16 vaikinų. Tyrimas vyko 2013 metų lapkričio 11 – 15 dienomis. Tyrimu buvo siekiama: 1) įvertinti paauglių statinę laikyseną ir stuburo mobilumą naudojant ZEBRIS CM10 WinSpine Pointer diagnostinę įrangą; 2) atskleisti paauglių subjektyvaus sveikatos vertinimo ir fizinio aktyvumo aspektus. Duomenims įvesti ir rezultatams apdoroti buvo naudotas specializuotas duomenų įvedimo ir statistinės analizės programinis paketas SPSS (20 versija). Atlikta statistinė (vidurkių, Mann – Whitney ir Kruskal – Wallis kriterijai) duomenų analizė. Vertinant paauglių laikyseną buvo remtasi mokslininkų (Arcinavičius, 2004; Muckus, 2006; Neumann, 2010; Saniukas, 2007) nurodytomis normomis. Anketa buvo siekiama atskleisti paauglių subjektyvų sveikatos vertinimą ir fizinį aktyvumą, laisvalaikio pomėgius, kurie buvo lyginami su gautais laikysenos vertinimo duomenimis. Taip buvo siekiama atskleisti gyvensenos veiksnių įtaką paauglių laikysenai. Vertinant paauglių laikyseną statinėje padėtyje nustatyta, kad visiems tiriamiesiems yra pečių ir dubens asimetrija. Tyrimo metu buvo nustatyta, kad dviem paaugliams yra skoliozinė deformacija į dešinę pusę ir dviem paaugliams – į kairę pusę. Nustatyta, kad septynių paauglių krūtininė kifozė yra per daug išreikšta. Tai reiškia, kad... [toliau žr. visą tekstą] / In the Bachelor's work is evaluating 8 class pupils’ standing posture in the sagittal and frontal planes and the spine mobility.

Visame pasaulyje grėsmingai auga turinčių antsvorio ir nutukusių vaikų skaičius. Nustatyta, kad vienas iš penkių vaikų Europoje turi antsvorio. Vaikų antsvorio ir nutukimo priežastys įvairios. Tai gali būti susiję su mitybos ir fizinio aktyvumo įpročių pokyčiais, taip pat su ekonominės, socialinės aplinkos įtaka gyvensenai. Vaikų fizinio išsivystymo tyrimai yra vieni svarbiausių stebint jų sveikatos būklę ir augimą. Disertacinis darbas atliktas dalyvaujant tarptautiniame PSO Europos vaikų nutukimo stebėsenos iniciatyvos projekte (COSI), kurio tikslas – rutiniškai stebėti pradinių klasių mokinių (6–9 m.) antsvorio ir nutukimo tendencijas bei sukurti standartizuotą ir Europos mastu suderintą stebėsenos sistemą. / The prevalence of overweight and obesity is growing all over the world and is evaluated as an epidemic.
