Background: Kyphosis is the abnormally of high levels of thoracic back arches associated with the stretching of spinal extensor muscles, weakening of middle and lower trapezoid muscles, and brief abduction of short pectoral and intercostal muscles. Therefore, the necessity and importance of researches on kyphosis, especially among the youth, is quite noticeable; because of the flexible bones and growth of the body at this age, corrective exercise can be used to remove action anomalies with appropriate solutions. This study aimed to investigate the effects of 8 weeks of selected corrective exercises on the angle of kyphosis in boy students with kyphosis.Methods: 24 boy students in a gym in Isfahan City, Iran, aged 15-18 years participated in this study. The angle of kyphosis was measured by a flexible ruler. Stretching, resistance, and self-mobility exercises were performed for 8 weeks. Analysis of covariance and pared-t tests was used to analysis the data.Findings: In boy students with kyphosis, the mean angle of kyphosis was 48.8 ± 0.9 degrees before the intervention (F = 0.275, P = 0.604). After using selected corrective exercises, mean angle of kyphosis decreased significantly to 46.9 ± 0.8 degrees (F = 1680.068, P = 0.001).Conclusion: The findings of this study showed that corrective exercises, alone and for three days a week for eight consecutive weeks, had a positive impact on improving the angle of kyphosis.
