The aim of this study was to assess the rationality of the working posture of adolescents at school using the analysis of goniometric indicators. Materials and methods. A total of 414 jobs were studied: 244 primary school children and 170 senior school children. Plots of working postures of teenagers were constructed, and goniometric indicators were compared with the recommended ranges. Results. Almost all goniometric indicators were found to have deviations from the recommended ranges, none of the adolescents had all 8 or at least 7 goniometric indicators included in the range of recommended values, which leads to the formation of an irrational working posture.
