Postural scoliosis is a common disease that poses a threat to the
physical and mental health of children and adolescents, resulting from
long-term poor posture. However, its symptoms are often hidden and easily
overlooked. In order to investigate the effects of postural scoliosis on the
physical fitness of primary school students, a physical fitness test and
posture assessment was conducted on 775 primary students in Yangjiang City,
comparing the physical fitness levels of students with different degrees of
postural scoliosis. The following results were observed: 1) The overall
physical fitness assessment of primary students is good, but there is a serious
lack of excellence and the qualified rate decreases with age. 2) The detection
rate of postural scoliosis increases with age and stage. 3) Postural scoliosis
has a significant negative impact on the physical function and physical quality
of primary students, early intervention and special education are key factors
in improving body posture and increasing physical fitness levels. 4) There are
three groups of primary students that need special attention in physical
fitness tests: stage one children with low 50-meter run scores, underweight
children with low sit-up scores, and overweight children with low sit-and-reach
scores.
