It is why this research is of a participatory intervention action type which aims to promote the healthy correct postural in girls, this contributing to improve the knowledge attitudes and practices thereof. 447 cases were studied of girls belonging to the second, third and fourth years of basic education of the public school “Alfonso Cordero Palacios” during the school year of 2010-2011. This information was obtained through a statistic and dynamic analysis of the examined posture by the investigators to detect postural alterations. Apart from this exploration data was taken from anthropometric measurements: weight, height and the index of body mass. Educational and communicate workshops were also held, which were measured through CAPs, applied before and after the investigation, to access the level of knowledge, attitudes and practices related to postural health.
