| Abstract | ||||
| The aim of this paper Is to identify the effect of a posture & recreation program on knock – Knees, flat feet and the Level of psychological stress among the 12-15 year-old students. The experimental method was used on one experimental sample for p re-post measurements. The program was applied ten 12-15 age students ,with a knock knees deviation associated with postural flat foot. Results of the study showed there are differences between the pre-post measurements of the knock - knee variables. There are differences between the pre-post measurements of the feet deformities variables. There are differences between the pre-post measurements in the total score of the psychological stress scale.The proposed program has led to an improvement of the postural deformities of the knock-knees, as it led to improving the distance between the two medial lumps of the tibia and the two angles of the lateral knees.The proposed program led to an improvement of the postural deformities of the feet, as it led to improved the two feet arch angles, and the Tech Gina factor for both feet and the level of the students psychological health. | ||||
