Physical activity (PA) shows a weak correlation with human posture, but no significant association was found. Multiple factors likely influence posture, and caution is advised when interpreting meta-analyses with bias.
Area of Science:
- Biomechanics and Kinesiology
- Public Health
- Epidemiology
Background:
- Human posture is influenced by various factors, including physical activity (PA).
- Understanding the relationship between PA and posture is crucial for public health initiatives.
- Previous research has yielded mixed results regarding this association.
Conclusions:
- While a weak correlation exists, the overall evidence does not support a significant association between physical activity and human posture.
- Biopsychosocial factors likely play a substantial role in determining human posture.
- The presence of heterogeneity and publication bias necessitates caution in interpreting meta-analysis findings.
