dc.description.abstract<p>The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of posture and body type on the experience of exercise-related transient abdominal pain (ETAP). Postural and somatotype assessments were performed on 104 active males and 55 active females aged 18.6 ± 0.4 years (mean ± SD) and were correlated against their self-reported experience of ETAP. Individuals demonstrating kyphosis were more likely to be susceptible to ETAP (<em>p</em> < 0.01). Among the individuals susceptible to ETAP, the extent of kyphosis and lordosis influenced the pain severity (<em>p</em> < 0.05). There was no relationship between any measure of body type and ETAP. The findings indicate that postural abnormality, particularly in the thoracic region, influences the experience of ETAP.</p>
