The correct position of a student when sitting
Very good morning to all.
We are going to study this a bit, since it is a very important subject for both the student and everyone.
As we all know, students spend approximately 4 to 5 hours sitting at the school desk to receive their lessons, but this implies a bit of fatigue, since our human body is not used to staying in one position for so long.
We study its characteristics of the correct and incorrect position
Correct position and its benefits
Improves respiratory capacity
It promotes blood circulation.
It improves the balance of the body.
Improves mood.
Avoid chronic fatigue.
Prevents muscle pain
Prevents injuries and spinal problems.
Backaches are becoming more frequent in school children. One of the most important reasons for this is the fact that they spend a lot of time sitting at the desk, and during this time they are seated they adopt very bad postures. Therefore it is important to sit correctly.
The correct posture is to always sit as far back as possible in the chair, resting your feet on the floor and keeping your knees at the same level or above the hips. The back should have it straight and the arms and elbows resting on the table.
1- It fills you with energy. Stretching your body and accommodating your back gives you more vitality
2- Improve your breathing. When you crouch you inhibit the flow of air, so when straightening you increase your oxygen consumption by up to 30%.
3- Elevate your performance A correct posture allows your body to send signals to the brain that it is in a position of power, which increases testosterone and generates an increase in productivity.
4- Increase your confidence A good posture improves your self-esteem and makes you feel that everything is fine.
5- Reduce stress Increase your ability to resist deadlines and list all the things you have to do. If you feel right when you are full of tension, you eliminate negative emotions
6- Also, by sitting correctly you will avoid back, spine and head pain. So enjoy all these benefits of having a correct posture and look thinner and more attractive to others.
CONSEQUENCES OF A BAD POSTURE WHEN SITTING
Did you know that poor sitting posture as well as back pain favors the appearance of a belly?
Poor sitting posture takes its toll. Whether due to bad habits or to spending too much time sitting, we tend to forget the importance of sitting well for health.
Back pain and possible injuries to the spine due to poor posture are two of the first consequences of bad postural hygiene. But not the only ones.
Low back pain from sitting down
To spend a lot of time sitting or stooping when sitting increases the risk of back pain, especially due to overload in the area. A pain that can be extended to the area of the buttocks and legs.
Neck pain from sitting
Cervical or neck pain is frequent when we spend too much time sitting or in the same position, and it intensifies if we also keep looking forward for a long time (for example, to the computer screen). By maintaining a bad posture to sit, the cervicals are overloaded. Contractures may also appear
More risk of injury: with poor body posture you will be more at risk of suffering injuries in different parts of the body, because when you exercise, you can overload unwanted body areas by positioning yourself in a bad way, which sooner or later can end up injured.
Example of good and bad position when sitting.
We must remember something very important that all this study applies to all, later I will talk a little more about this topic but with more depth.
