MOREJON DIAZ, Alina María; QUETQLAS GONZALEZ, Luis René; TABARES AREVALO, Rosa María  and  BLANCO CRUCELLAS, Oslirio. Therapeutic exercises to compensate postural deformities in handball athletes. Rev Podium [online]. 2020, vol.15, n.3, pp. 622-632.  Epub Sep 18, 2020. ISSN 1996-2452.

The work presented refers to the importance of having control of the postural deformities that can be seen in 13-15-year-old handball athletes; especially because of the age of these athletes. Its objective is to propose therapeutic exercises for the compensation of postural alterations, treated from the planning of the physical preparation, starting from indications such as the positions and convenient movements, treatment objectives and exercises for each deformity; taking into account the individual characteristics. To carry out the research, theoretical, empirical ( Interview, Documentary Review, Measurement) and statistical methods were used, which made it possible to conclude that the adoption of incorrect postures during training and the intensive use of the musculoskeletal and locomotor systems affects the occurrence of postural alterations that negatively impact on the actions of the athletes under study, highlighting in them kyphosis and knees varuss, hence its compensation and / or correction from the training of physical preparation; therefore, the application of the proposed therapeutic exercises is recommended to verify its effectiveness in order to extend the study to other categories.
