SUMMARY Introduction.The postural system is based on the senses of self-movement and balance. Balance is an essential component of any sport and an active lifestyle. If the child is unable to maintain his/her balance for about ten seconds, exercises to strengthen the sense of balance are recommended. Gymnastic Large Balls are air-filled balls used for fun, safe and effective exercise, improving strength, flexibility and balance. Using Fit-balls, the bad posture, poor body mechanics and inflexibility can be replaced with proper conditioning and balancing of trunk musculature. THE AIM of this article is to study the development change of balance in pupils with bad posture after practicing of Fit-ball exercises in physical education lessons. Methodology of the study. The Fit-ball training program was evaluated in a primary school in Sofia in 47 children with bad posture, poor body mechanics and inflexibility. The program included special exercises for balance, coordination and competitive games. The four balance tests were applied on two groups in the beginning and in the end of the study. Results. The results show that using fit-ball exercises develop balance with bad posture children in primary school. Conclusion. The teachers can incorporate games and activities that involve body changes in space. These promote the maturation of the senses of balance and self-movement, which are very important for motor development of EACH child. Key words: postural system, development, Gymnastic Large Balls

In addition, it is a valuable tool in working on postural control and strength (Carrier B. 1997). The aim of this article is to study the developmental change of balance in pupils with bad
At the beginning of the 2013 school year, we examined 268 primary school children in Sofia. We conducted a diagnostic review for bad posture and balance. The Fit-ball training program was evaluated on 47 children (27 girls and 20 boys) ages 8-19 with bad posture, poor body mechanics and inflexibility. Only 5 boys and 2 girls are active athletes.
