Postural Habits, Body Awareness, and Functional Performance Across BMI Categories in Women

Summary

This cross-sectional study aims to investigate the relationship between postural habits and body awareness with functional performance across different body mass index (BMI) categories in women. Participants will be categorized into four groups based on BMI (normal weight, overweight, obesity class I, and obesity class II-III). Postural habits and awareness, body awareness, and functional performance will be assessed using validated questionnaires and performance-based tests. The study also aims to explore the potential contribution of central adiposity (waist circumference) and psychological factors to these relationships. Findings are expected to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the biomechanical and perceptual factors associated with obesity.

Observational Assessment

Participants will undergo a comprehensive observational assessment including anthropometric measurements, self-reported questionnaires, and performance-based functional tests. Body mass index and waist circumference will be measured to classify participants into BMI categories. Postural habits and awareness will be evaluated using the Posture Habits and Awareness Scale (PHAS), and body awareness will be assessed the Body Awareness Questionnaire (BAQ). Functional performance will be measured using the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test and the Five Times Sit-to-Stand (5×STS) test. No therapeutic or experimental intervention will be applied.
