The widespread occurrence of posture disorders in children and adolescents in many countries actualizes further search for the use of means and methods of physical culture and sports for the effective correction of spinal deformities. Research aim. To develop and test a method for correcting posture disorders in 8-10-years-old girls based on the means and methods of rhythmic gymnastics. Materials and methods. The research project was conducted for 9 months among 28 girls aged 8-10 years on the basis of a school in Chelyabinsk (Russia). According to medical records, all of them had posture disorders in the sagittal and frontal planes, were divided into CG (14 girls) and EG (14 girls). Both groups attended PE classes according to the generally accepted curriculum, 3 times a week for 45 minutes. To correct the CG girls’ posture, a typical set of physical exercises designed for a special medical group was used at each lesson. In each lesson of the traditional curriculum for EG girls, a health-improving story rhythmic gymnastics was included, which was carried out for 15-20 minutes. At the beginning and at the end of the experiment, we examined the state of active flexibility of the spine, the dynamic strength of the muscles of the back and abdomen, and tested the basic motor qualities. Results. At the end of the experiment, EG girls showed an increase in spinal flexibility, strength of the back muscles, abdominals, and motor qualities, p < 0.05. The increase in the values of the indicators was significantly greater in EG girls compared to the results of CG ones. It was possible to stabilize the value of the index of the arc angle of the spinal column deformation in 78.5% of the girls in the experimental group. In the control group, the stabilization of scoliosis in girls was registered 2.75 times less often. Conclusions. The proposed method of correcting posture disorders using story rhythmic gymnastics expands the list of means and methods of improving childrens health. The obtained effective results of posture disorders correction in EG girls allow recommending a proven method for use in educational institutions.
