Postural variability in preschool children: Observation studyhttps://doi.org/10.34622/datarepositorium/IPR7E0Lima Araújo, CristinaSimões de Carvalho, GraçaMoreira, AnaRepositório de Dados da Universidade do Minho2026-06-022026-06-05T10:26:45ZBody posture is the relationship between body segments inherent in the ability to maintain postural control in the interaction of the body with gravity and environment. In child development, the trunk plays a crucial role in postural control. Thus, postural trunk stability and vertical orientation is an important skill for the upper limbs to perform selective tasks. Furthermore, trunk mobility during position changes is also relevant, while the upper limbs allow for stability through the arms support function. The child's postural interactions with their natural environment can be more or less varied and, therefore, will influence the internal references in the central nervous system. Thus, this observational study aimed to understand the children’s body postures during interactions with their natural preschool environment and whether these postures are helpful or harmful to their posture development. This study also aimed to understand the perceptions of parents, and the educational team regarding what constitutes correct and incorrect body posture and what influences both.Medicine, Health and Life Sciencesbody posture, postural variability, children, pre-schoolEnglishPostural education programmes with school children: a Scoping Review, doi, doi.org/10.3390/su151310422, https://doi.org/10.3390/su1513104222025-06-13Lima Araújo, CristinaLima Araújo, Cristina2025-09-252025-06-062026-06-27Postural Education Programmes with School Children: A Scoping Review https://doi.org/10.34622/datarepositorium/KSPP04Postural control in 5-6-year-old children: postural sway and muscle activation during task performance https://doi.org/10.34622/datarepositorium/T5JYHSAnthropometricVideoAudioAnthropometric data - GIMA, model GBF-2008-B1 and wall altimeter GIMA (0-200 cm) For the collection of observational data 4 video cameras (SANYO HD MPEG-4 AVC/H.264; SONY® Cyber-shot DSC-HX20V; SONY® DCR-TRV14E; Canon DS126431) were used AudioNONE<a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"><img alt="Creative Commons Licence" style="border-width:0" src="https://i.creativecommons.org/l/by/4.0/88x31.png" /></a><br />This work is licensed under a <a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/">Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License</a>.
