This article presents the results of the development and scientific substantiation of the algorithm for early diagnostics of postural disorders in children regularly involved in sports, as well as the effectiveness of medical and hygienic methods for their prevention using the example of children aged 9–12 years specializing in martial arts. An analysis of modern diagnostic approaches, including clinical, instrumental and functional methods for assessing the state of posture, is carried out. The dynamics of posture changes under the influence of preventive measures, including corrective exercises, hygienic recommendations and control of motor activity, is assessed. The importance of an integrated approach to diagnostics and prevention is revealed, which allows increasing the effectiveness of early detection and correction of postural disorders in young athletes. The obtained results can be used in the practical activities of sports medicine doctors, physiotherapists and trainers to optimize the training process and reduce the risk of developing persistent postural dysfunctions.
