Study population: The study group will be recruited from people living in the city of Wrocław and Lower Silesia from primary medical care centers, educational centers - kindergartens, and randomly selected primary schools. The Adult Group consists of people attending randomly selected secondary schools and various universities. The ej group will also include non-students recruited by invitation to participate in the research. The group of adults consists of people recruited on the basis of an open invitation carried out via social media, health facilities and large workplaces. The senior group will be recruited on the basis of an invitation addressed to senior activation centers

Brief summary: The main aim of the research is to assess the impact of various forms of physical activity on body composition and posture. The basis of the research is the assessment of the current condition of people of different ages and the development of individualized physioprophylaxis programs for body posture and body weight abnormalities. In the senior group, the task of physioprophylactic programs is to prevent the loss of muscle mass, prevent falls and improve the quality of life.

Detailed description: The research is focused on three age groups: research in the progressive period of ontogenesis from 3 to 18 years of age, people in adulthood, and people in senior age, i.e. postmenopausal women and men over 65 years of age. The research is conducted in three stages - in the first stage: assessment of the current condition, i.e. body weight and composition, assessment of body posture, physical fitness (including age-appropriate tests), assessment of physical activity (IPAQ test, PAQ-C and PAQ-A test). ). In the second stage: development and implementation of physioprophylactic programs aimed at preventing overweight or obesity, body posture abnormalities, and reduced physical fitness. Physioprophylactic projects based on medical training are adapted to age and gender and the assessment of the current condition. The duration of the training project is 12 weeks, classes will be held twice a week for 60 minutes for adults, twice a week for 45 minutes for children over 7 years of age and twice a week for 30 minutes for preschool children. Physioprophylactic classes will complement school classes for the group under 18 years of age. The third part of the research project is the assessment of changes in body weight, body posture and physical fitness.

The practical part will be complemented by meetings and lectures for the respondents and their parents (in the case of children) regarding the importance of physical activity, diet and physical fitness in the quality of life and its importance in various periods of ontogenetic development.

The study of a given group will be completed with a follow-up study 6 months after the end of the research project The ongoing research project will allow the development of physioprophylactic programs with elements of medical training to counteract lifestyle diseases.
