Anatomical stretches
For World Health Day, the Department of Physical Education and Sports held an online lecture on the topic “Using the theory of “Anatomical stretches” to restore health during sedentary work.”
The lecturer of the event was Olga Bezyazychnaya – Candidate of Biological Sciences, Associate Professor, Rehabilitation Doctor. In her report, she introduced the audience to modern scientific approaches to maintaining health during long-term sedentary work.
During the lecture, the basics of the theory of “Anatomical drives” proposed by T. Myers were discussed, which explains the relationship of myofascial chains in the human body and their role in maintaining correct posture and harmonious functioning of the body. Particular attention was paid to the effect of a sedentary lifestyle and long-term computer work on the musculoskeletal system.
The lecture aroused significant enthusiasm among the participants. During the event, many questions were asked about the prevention of muscle tension, back pain and fatigue while working at the computer. The practical part of the lecture was especially useful – the lecturer demonstrated the exercises live and explained how to perform them correctly to reduce muscle tension in the neck, back, arms and legs.
Conducting such lectures is an important component of popularizing a healthy lifestyle and developing a culture of caring for one’s own health among students and university employees.
