Introduction. Recently, the emphasis has been on the problems faced by performance athletes with physical deficiencies of the spine. The aim of the paper is to train coaches in awareness of physical problems, especially of the spine in swimming athletes aged 10-12 years and the development of kinetic programs on land in order to correct them. Material and method. Research on the effectiveness of kinetic programs as means of correction are very numerous and, in this regard, we aim to select the most effective exercises to correct deficiencies acquired by swimmers and change the functional parameters of the cardio-respiratory system during their training. In order to highlight the need for kinetic correction programs, the coach must work in collaboration with the sports doctor and the physiotherapist in order to prevent possible deviations from normal somatic-functional values. Results and discussions. Regarding the estimation of the adaptive possibilities of the cardio-respiratory capacity, hence the need to apply a complex of tests to assess the effort capacity of athletes. Conclusions. In this sense, we will submit to the study the performance group from the University Sports Club from Suceava, and the recovery programs will take place within the Swimming and Kinesiology Complex, Suceava.

It is known, certainly, that it is much easier to form a correct attitude than to correct the vicious one, a reason that must determine the approach of prophylactic means of physical therapy and therapeutic swimming. The identification, at an early stage, of the etiological factors responsible for the installation of postural deficiencies, is a determining factor in the management of programs for their maintenance or recovery in children of prepubertal age. The study took place at the Constantinescu Mihai Physiotherapy Office of Suceava and at the Cornișa Botoșani Swimming Complex. It is known that the correct position is formed from childhood, and movement and exercise are the main factors of its construction. In this sense, the paper proposes kinetic recovery and therapeutic swimming programs in order to strengthen the postural status in children during growth and development. In this regard, we have set the following objectives: identification of children with vicious postural attitudes because of the overloads in the prepubertal period and analysis of the scoliosis mechanisms in children of prepubertal age on a vulnerable somato-functional status.

The purpose of this paper is to point out and propose the most effective means of therapeutic swimming in the use of work programs for patients with dorsalgia in spinal static disorders. The knowledge degree of therapeutic swimming is not sufficiently promoted and used, which is why we propose the following hypothesis: we start from the premise that therapeutic swimming can reduce the dorsalgia in the spine, improve lung capacity and physical condition in young adults. The objectives of this work are to identify subjects with spinal static dorsalgia and to establish the sample for the experiment; in the selection of therapeutic swimming means for the elaboration of the work program; in the registration and interpretation of the data in the form of tables and charts. The experiment took place at the Kinetic Therapy Practice of Mr. Constantinescu Mihai, as well as at the swimming pool in Cornisa, Botoşani county, with a sample consisting of 15 subjects aged between 18 and 22, all of whom suffered dorsalgia (in the spine). In this respect, we set out to implement a therapeutic swimming program for 6 months to achieve positive results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction. Vertebral balance disorders are a health issue for children in general, with long-term consequences. Having in view that the number of new cases with this condition has increased, it is necessary to introduce health programs and it is useful to make a screening for vertebral balance disorders by age groups (prepubertal, pubertal, adolescent). The objective of the study was to evaluate the functional status of the child aged 10-12 and the elaboration of the prophylaxis/ treatment program. The purpose was to draw the attention to the prevalence of vertebral balance disorders in youth, with possible consequences in adulthood. Material and method. The study was conducted for a period of 1 year and included a number of 86 children. After the clinical, anthropometric, somatoscopic evaluation, the recovery plan was elaborated, but also the prophylaxis plan was elaborated for certain cases. The purpose was to create the correct posture reflex, the toning of the paravertebral and abdominal muscles, the increase in the mobility of the joints and the fight against obesity. The kinetic program took place 3 times/ week, with a duration of 30 minutes/ session. Also, the children attended a weekly therapeutic swimming session. Results. It was found in the study group that over 51% were girls, approximately 30.23% of the children were diagnosed with scoliotic attitude, 44.19% with kyphotic attitude and approximately 25.58% had a normal postural attitude. Conclusions. After the use of the physiotherapy program (on the land and in the water), it was found that the general alignment, the concentration capacity and the adaptation to the school activities improved. The existence of a multidisciplinary team to ensure the recovery program is an effective method to obtain beneficial results for health in this age group. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
