The aim of reaserch was to describe and compare of the mean arithmetical values of the examined of posture disorders. The purpouse of this reaserch was to describe the frequency of bad posture and the intensity of particular posture fauls. Moreover the research was supposed to demonstrate relationship between body posture and choosen morphofunctional attributes in the examined girls and boys. The percentage analysis of the intensification’s degree of bad postures proved that deformations defined too one penal point was the most often. Asymmetry of the shoulders and bad head position was the most frequent abnormality in girls. Asymmetry of the scapulas was the most frequent abnormality in boys. Boys had insignificant superiority in range postural muscle power, but not said statistically significant differences of body posture and morphofunctional attributes between researched groups.
