Abstract Background
Prolonged sitting and lack of physical activity have become very common issues among school students due to increased screen time and academic schedules. These sedentary behaviors can adversely affect musculoskeletal health, leading to conditions such as poor posture, back pain, and reduced physical fitness. Understanding these impacts is crucial for developing effective interventions to promote healthier lifestyles among these groups.
Aims
This study aims to investigate the effects of prolonged sitting and insufficient physical activity on the musculoskeletal health of school students. The objectives include identifying common musculoskeletal problems, analysing the correlation between sedentary behaviors and these issues
Setting
The research was conducted in various schools, encompassing a diverse population of students aged 12-17 years. The schools were selected to represent different socio-economic backgrounds and geographical locations to ensure a comprehensive analysis.
Design
A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews. The quantitative component involved the administration of structured questionnaires to gather data on students' sitting habits, physical activity levels, and musculoskeletal complaints. The qualitative component included in-depth interviews with selected students, teachers, and health professionals to gain deeper insights into the causes and effects of sedentary behaviors.
