Abstract
The sagittal thoracic curvature was evaluated in a sample of 40 young male adults (mean age: (24.6 ± 5.6 years) with a Unilevel inclinometer while relaxed standing and during the seated row exercise with trunk restrained. Mean thoracic angles while standing and during the exercise were 38.39º ± 9.98º and 46.27º ± 7.85º, respectively (p<0.001). With regards to normali-ty values, a 56.8% and 23.1% of subjects showed a kyphotic posture in standing and during the exercise, respectively. In conclusion, we recommend including the seated row exercise with trunk restrained in the weight training routines of scapular adductors because the thoracic posture is more neutral
