Summary/Abstract: The objective of the paper was to develop a case study focusing on posture and functional condition of muscles in a child after commencement of school attendance (after 6 years of age). The results were obtained by means of posture tests and functional muscle condition tests. The testing was performed every six months for a period of three years. The researchers also focused on the school environment and the child’s leisure activities. These data were obtained by means of a questionnaire survey and observation. According to the results of the research, the child with a regular physical activity regimen after school enrolment did not show significant changes in posture or functional condition of selected muscles. This corresponds with children’s usual somatic development.
