(2) Methods: The body posture of the examined children was assessed using the digital photography method, i.e., the Moir\u00e9 method. Selected parameters characterizing the curvature of the spine (the Alpha, Beta and Gamma angles, the size of kyphosis in the thoracic spine and the size of lordosis in the lumbar spine) were analyzed. (3) Results: The study of the body posture using the Moir\u00e9 method allowed for the assessment of the angles that determine the size of the spine\u2019s curvature. The analysis of differences among the groups included in the study (football, swimming, biathlon\/taekwondo, volleyball) was carried out on the basis of one-dimensional models that take into account the distributions of individual parameters. On the basis of the Alpha, Beta and Gamma angles, it was possible to calculate the size of kyphosis in the thoracic section and the size of lordosis in the lumbar spine. There was a statistically significant difference in the size of the Alpha, Beta and Gamma parameters among the groups. (4) Conclusions: Most of the respondents had the correct body posture in the sagittal plane, regardless of the type of sport they practiced. Our results did not allow us to unequivocally state whether practicing various sports and having different training loads resulting from these sports have a negative or positive effect on the size of the anterior\u2013posterior curvatures of the spine.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph20031826","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,19]],"date-time":"2023-01-19T02:51:37Z","timestamp":1674096697000},"page":"1826","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["The Sizes of Spine Curvatures of Children That Practice Selected Sports"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4633-8878","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Natalia","family":"Twarowska-Grybalow","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy, J\u00f3zef Pi\u0142sudski University of Physical Education in Warsaw, 00-968 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2739-421X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aleksandra","family":"Truszczy\u0144ska-Baszak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy, J\u00f3zef Pi\u0142sudski University of Physical Education in Warsaw, 00-968 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"262","article-title":"Aktywno\u015b\u0107 ruchowa dzieci 10-letnich w czasie wolnym","volume":"3","year":"2005","journal-title":"Przeg.
