Abstract. Due to the modernization of the education system in Russia it is necessary to solve various problems. Firstly, there is a problem of keeping and strengthening the health of schoolchildren. Currently, there is a tendency to health deterioration of children and adolescents who study at secondary schools. An increase in study load for students and intensification of education aggravates this process. At present, disorders of posture remain one of the most common functional disorders of the locomotor system of schoolchildren. The progression of posture disorders has a negative impact on the functioning of main organs and body systems, thus the effectiveness of any corrective and recreational actions depends largely on the earliest possible start of their taking. So it is very relevant to do physical education and sport in the prevention and in the treatment of the locomotor system diseases. Mastering skills of correct posture through gymnastic exercise was a necessary condition while having different sessions of physical training and sport. Adopting the correct posture was carried out through a mental and visual representation of it. Complexes of medical gymnastics for children no older than 11 years, along with the basic corrective exercises, included special applied exercises: crawling, walking, running, jumping, throwing. Walking was introduced to all parts of therapeutic exercises. The approved system of lessons structure for 8-11 year children with the help of physical education formed the resistance of functional body systems to adverse effects of orthopedic abnormalities in posture due to an increase in the range of compensatory and adaptive capabilities of a growing organism while doing physical exercises.

Key words: posture defects, corrective physical exercises, locomotor system, spine,correct posture, motor activity.
