Incheon Metropolitan Office of Education 2024 Selection of Educational Tasks for Prevention of Body Type Imbalance Director of Research, Professor Jeon Kyung-kyu of Sports Science Department, Lee Hyung-woo and Kim Chan-ki, a dedicated researcher's functional rehabilitation epidemiology laboratory

Incheon National University's Sports Science Department's Functional Rehabilitation Mechanics Laboratory (Research Director: Professor Jeon Kyung-kyu) was selected for the second consecutive year for the "2024 Student Body Imbalance Prevention Education" project, which was held by the Incheon Metropolitan Office of Education.

The rate of causing body imbalance among growing students who lack physical activity continues to increase due to increased sitting time and excessive smartphone use. Accordingly, the Incheon Metropolitan Office of Education aims to test students' body shape conditions through sports scientific measurements to improve the body shape imbalance of growing students and educate exercise programs to improve spine scoliosis and turtle neck to enable students to manage their body shape properly and help them grow healthy.

Incheon National University's Sports Science Department plans to designate 15 elementary and middle schools in Incheon Metropolitan City with the Incheon Metropolitan Office of Education to predict potential diseases caused by body imbalance based on sports science measurement evaluation of students' current body types and operate a "visit-type prevention classroom program" to form the right posture.

Professor Jeon Kyung-kyu of the Department of Sports Science at our university, who is in charge of the research, said, "The education of exercise programs will include basic knowledge of body characteristics that form posture, the effects of bad posture on body shape and its examples, why you should be in a proper posture, and the introduction of exercise programs using bare bodies and various props.
