Abstract The purpose of the present study is to investigate the relationship between the type of sleep and lumbar lordosis and to provide corrective movements in boys aged 10 to 14 years of West Islamabad city. For this purpose, 90 school boys were screened and 40 of them They participated in this research as a research sample. In order to collect data, a researcher-made questionnaire was used. This questionnaire has 20 questions, which first specifies the type of sleeping people (stomach, side, back) and questions related to the positions and measures their lordosis. The data was analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient and T-correlated statistical tests at a significance level of 0.05. The results of this research showed that between sleeping on the back, with Lordosis has a significant relationship. But there was no relationship between sleeping on the back and lordosis. As a result, it can be said that sleeping on the stomach causes lordosis in the waist area or causes it to worsen. By observing the correct principles of sleeping, while increasing the endurance of the trunk muscles, it also postpones their fatigue threshold and creates the ground for preventing and improving lordosis in people.

Undoubtedly, the present century is the century of inactivity and machine life. The consequence of this immobility is suffering from various diseases. One of these diseases is back pain. Many factors cause muscle weakness, including doing daily activities in the wrong way. These activities include sitting, sleeping, standing. Also, doing daily tasks at home and in the workplace in a wrong way is another factor that weakens the muscles and puts pressure on the organs, which further leads to anatomical changes in the body structure. It is worth noting that because these changes in the curvature of the waist in young and middle age usually do not leave complications. Fewer people go to the doctor for treatment. But with the increase of these changes, the first symptom is pain, which makes the person think of treatment and solution. (1) Postural abnormalities, apart from hereditary factors, are caused by the industrialization of life, inactivity, having wrong habits and using non-standard equipment. (2) Positioning position Different parts of the body in relation to each other at any moment of time are called body posture (3) Since the arches of the spine affect each other and compensate each other, the increase in kyphosis can affect other arches such as lumbar lordosis and cause biomechanical changes in the spine (4). Accordingly, by reducing the arches (such as a flat back) or increasing them (such as a curved back), the spine will move towards biomechanical instability. (5) Humans are in various physical states during the day and night. Also, non-observance of ergonomic standards of equipment used continuously by people, as well as lack of fit in the anthropometric dimensions of users, can lead to physiological and structural disorders. Among the habits of important human needs is sleeping, the importance of which can never be underestimated. Considering that people spend their entire life sleeping and resting, about 1/3 of the correct lying position and the equipment used for it are very important (6) Today, corrective and therapeutic movements as a branch of physical education science, with the aim of applying minimum tension and pressure to the vertebral column and creating maximum ability to use the body structure, tries to prevent the recurrence of back pain by using movement and therapeutic activities (7) according to the chain system. Movement of the body, if a part of the body suffers from a particular complication or problem, this problem affects the whole musculoskeletal system of a person in the form of chains. Therefore, when an abnormality is identified in a person, its destructive effects can be prevented in the long term. In this chapter, the present research aims to fully search for the factors involved in the lumbar arch that occurs as a result of sleeping badly, and to provide a series of corrective movements for treatment, and the research plan is presented.

1-2) Statement of the problem

One of the most important parts of the spine is the lumbar arch, which is of special importance due to its bearing the weight of the upper body and its direct connection with the pelvis. Any increase or decrease in the amount of this arch can affect the balance of the body and cause various abnormalities in the lumbopelvic region. One of the factors that is believed to be effective in disrupting the balance of the lumbar region and the deviation of the lumbar arch is muscle function. (8) Instability of the spine is a complex issue that is still not well understood. Therefore, there is a need for more biomechanical and physiological studies in this field. Spinal arches create flexibility, mobility and stability, and if any of these arches have problems, the function of the spine will be disturbed (9). One of the arches of the spine in the lumbar region is lumbar lordosis, which has convexity towards the front and concavity towards the back. This arch provides the required strength against the pressures caused by gravity, while simultaneously allowing movement. and it also provides a certain flexibility to the body. Natural lordosis in the lumbar region acts suddenly from the vertical ligament system. (10) Normally, the distance between the L5 and S1 vertebrae in the anterior region will increase and lead to the lumbar region. Back pain sufferers usually complain of pain and stiffness in the lower back. Low back pain can be acquired and caused by factors such as lack of movement, inappropriate shoes, non-standard tools and equipment, wrong habits. a position-movement such as walking, sitting, sleeping, etc. On the other hand, corrective movements and its application in correcting many physical deviations is a special scientific knowledge that has only received attention in recent years in our country. Opposing muscles are also necessary to correct the abnormality. (13) Moles [2] (1999). It showed that the degree of kyphosis and lordosis does not affect the movement range of the spine (14) Among the muscles that are increased in the lumbar arch, they are weak, the deep abdominal muscles, which include the transversus abdominis and the internal oblique. (15) More than half of the people in the society do not have proper sleeping habits. By examining the abnormalities of the spine of 159 workers aged 25 to 65, one of the causes of structural changes in the spine in the statistical population of the study was wrong sleeping habits (16) (Bahrami and Farhadi (cited by Bahrampour, by examining adolescent girls aged 11 to 15 years) they found that there is a significant relationship between sleeping habits and lumbar lordosis and kyphosis (17) Davis [3], strengthening the abdominal muscles And he considers the back opener to be the best method for changes in lumbar lordosis. (18) It seems that lying on the stomach increases the lumbar arch and puts a lot of stress on the lumbar disc and the lumbar region in general, especially when a person is in this position for a long time, since most people spend about a third of their time (7-8 hours a day) lying down or lying down. Lying down helps the health of the body. Just as people's sitting and walking postures are different from each other and everyone has their own posture habits, sleeping also has different postures and postures, which include sleeping on the back, sleeping on the stomach, and sleeping on the side. Each of these situations also have different states in which people are placed according to their habits (19) at the same time, educating members of the society and introducing more suitable resting habits through videos, brochures, counseling sessions and corrective and therapeutic exercises and introducing the correct way to sleep, using more suitable resting devices and introducing incorrect resting methods will be effective in reducing skeletal abnormalities. Considering the little research presented in the country in the field of sleeping and lumbar lordosis, the researcher He wanted to investigate the issue of whether there is a relationship between the way of sleeping and lordosis?

In this research, corrective movements are presented after the diagnosis of the abnormality, and the researcher conducts research in the field of correcting the lordosis abnormality and presents a series of movements that treat the muscles and ligaments that are damaged in this condition. Therefore, by conducting this research, it is hoped that by examining the relationship between the type of sleep and lumbar lordosis and providing corrective movements, the quality of life of people will be improved. Correctly and regularly to treat the complication of lordosis should be removed among comprehensive people.
