In order to clarify the posture of Korean collegians, an attempt by means of the Massey posture test was made to study through the selection of 302 students who are undergraduates of Dong Guk University for random sampling. The study showed that Angle I showed 15.8 ; Angle II 15.6; Angle III l0.1 ; and Angle IV 7.5. The total of the angles represented 49.
1) These results intricate that the spinal curve of Korean collegians is great and therefore, a more through posture education is required.
2) As a results of a comparison with the Massey posture grade table, the posture of Korean collegians are distributed below grade C, and therefore, it is urgently required to work out a scientific research to upgrade the present grade of posture.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1) There must be a study and research for body mechanics as a whole.
2) Post standards must urgently be established for Korean collegians by sex, and age.
3) It must be gone first that the conditions of posture is an important factor for enlarging the range of the activity.
