One of the leading groups that are susceptible to Upper Cross syndrome are army personnel. Due to having more physical activities, the army officers are more likely to be exposed to Upper Cross syndrome. In this line, the present study aims to comparatively investigate the relationship between the performance of the shoulder, neck, and body muscles among the army personnel having this syndrome with those not being exposed to it.

This research is cross-sectional regarding the time, applied research in terms of theme, and causal-comparative in terms of methodology or strategy. Research population of current research included one hundred and twenty male army officers whose hometown was Kermanshah and ranged in age from thirty to forty-five years old with at least seven years of experience. Having taken arrival and exiting requirements into consideration, a number of seventy people were selected and assigned to two equal groups, named officers having Upper Cross syndrome and those not having this syndrome, by using purposeful and convenient sampling designs. After getting acquainted with the quality of the research and organizing the research procedure, the intended data was collected. Different types of instruments including cameras, adaptable ruler, and dynamometer were used to measure perturbed head, rounded shoulder, kyphosis, and isometric contraction of the muscles in the shoulder, neck, and trunk respectively. Statistical analysis of the raw data was performed by SPSS version 23 and was presented in two descriptive and inferential sections.

People with the upper cross syndrome with a mean (age = 34.85±3.57 years, height = 178±0.04 cm, weight = 76.77±11.82 kg) and people without syndrome with a mean (age = 34.02±2.93 years, height = 179±0.05 cm, weight = 79.91±11.01 kg) that statistical analysis showed that at a significance level of 0.05% there is no significant difference between demographic characteristics. The results show that there is a significant difference between shoulder, neck, and trunk muscle function with glenohumeral joint disorders in soldiers with and without upper cross syndrome (P<0.05).

Given the findings of the present study, it can be observed that the fixed and repetitive positioning pattern in the syndrome group, due to the type and extent of working with computer and creation of fixed posture, was effective on muscular power and shoulder movement range. This issue can be less observed in the group without the syndrome because of the type of occupational activity, which can be indicative of the positive effect of correct positioning pattern during the activity on the happening of shoulder movement disorder.

Regular physical activity has many benefits for mental health. The purpose of the current re - search was to determine the level of physical activity of the employees of the Greater Tehran police headquarter and also to investigate the relationship between physical activity and the quality of life-related to health and well-being, emphasizing gender differences.

This research is descriptive correlation and uses the structural equation method. 186 employees of the Greater Tehran police headquarter were selected as the statistical sample of the research in 2021. Physical activity indicators using the interna - tional physical activity questionnaire (reliability coefficient 0.92), quality of life-related to health using the SD-12 questionnaire (reliability coefficient 0.88), and well-being using the adult well-being assessment questionnaire (reliability coefficient 86 0) were measured. Pear - son’s correlation test, structural equations, and independent t-test were used for data analysis. Data were analyzed using SPSS 26 and Lisrel 8.8 software .

93 people of the studied samples were from police stations, 71 people were from traffic police and 22 people were from the Greater Tehran Police Headquarter. The average body mass index of men and women was 23.80±1.36 and 22.63±1.75, respectively. The level of physical activity of men and women was lower than the value recommended by WHO, how - ever, men had a significantly higher level of physical activity than women (141.02 vs. 122.52 minutes per week for men and women, respectively). In total, 54% of men and 52% of women had moderate to intense physical activity. Also, physical activity had a positive and significant relationship with quality of life (t=4.84) and well-being (t=7.04) in the police command staff. The results of the model fit showed that the research model had a good fit (RMSEA=0.07).

Physical activity has a positive effect on the psychological components of police headquarter officers. The use of solutions and interventions to improve the physical activity status of management employees, especially women, is a special feature
