    Prolonged adoption of sustained positions, such as sitting, can induce biomechanical alterations in pelvic tilt. This phenomenon is frequently associated with loss of elasticity and shortening of the hamstring muscles, leading to postural changes in the sagittal plane. The aim of this study is to analyse changes in pelvic tilt following the application of an exercise protocol designed to improve hamstring flexibility, in order to evaluate its acute effects on pelvic posture. To analyse acute osteokinetic and arthrokinetic changes in administrative staff undergoing a stretching exercise protocol. Osteokinematic assessment was performed using pelvic tilt angles, while arthrokinematic assessment, which could not be evaluated directly, was performed by analysing the flexibility of the hamstring muscles in the posterior chain of the limbs. This was a quasi-experimental study involving 30 participants selected using inclusion and exclusion criteria. Two measurement instruments were used: BIOPOSTURE to assess pelvic tilt in the sagittal plane and the Sit and Reach test to assess lower limb flexibility, particularly of the hamstrings. The results showed that flexibility improved significantly (+3.59 cm after the intervention, p<0.001), while pelvic tilt did not change significantly (p>0.05). This is associated with laterality (right-handed individuals) presenting a left asymmetry. At the end of the study, it was concluded that, statistically speaking, there was no change in pelvic tilt; however, at the individual level, a change was observed.

    FUNCIONES MOTORAS Y SU RELACIÓN CON LA LATERALIDAD EN ESCOLARES

    This research project deals with motor functions and the relationship with laterality in schoolchildren. Behavioural preference, specifically for the use of one side of the body, begins at a very early age, which leads human beings to present asymmetries, the type of motor task performed will influence them. Evaluations were applied to a population of 24 students between 7 and 12 years of age of both sexes where the laterality and motor functions of the schoolchildren were evaluated. These tests were used with a single assessment which lasted 15 to 20 minutes. The present project has a quantitative approach, since different tests were applied, among them the Harris test that evaluates laterality and the Bruininks-Oseretsky test (BOT 2) that evaluates motor skills, where numerical and categorical values could be obtained, which were related to the aforementioned tests.It is a transversal analytical study, seeking to relate the motor functions and laterality of the students. The result was that the motor competence of the students is related to the laterality of each one of them, and it was also observed that the average of the schoolchildren is related to these two factors. In conclusion, it can be said that this research allowed us to understand the importance of the physical and cognitive process in the growth of children, and it was also possible to demonstrate that the specific lateral preferences and their correlations with laterality tend to vary considerably according to the task and individual characteristics at different ages of development.
