What is the supine posture?

supine refers to a posture of lying horizontally, with the back down, the face and abdomen up, and the spine slightly backward.

It is usually used during rest and sleep, but it is different from recumbent. The common supine position is that the patient's head is placed on the pillow, his arms are placed on both sides of his body, and his legs are naturally straight. Mostly a position for rest and sleep. In clinical medicine, supine position is the most commonly used position, which can be used for most operations on head, maxillofacial region, neck, chest, abdomen and limbs.

Body posture is one of the elements of physical exercise. Refers to the state of the body and various parts of the body at various stages of practice. A complete technical process of practice includes three parts: starting posture, posture during practice and ending posture.

Posture during exercise

can be divided into relatively static and stable body posture and constantly changing body posture. In periodic sports, the former is more obvious, such as body posture in speed skating, horizontal posture in swimming and low riding posture in cycling, which can reduce external resistance.

During running, you should keep your body upright to get the maximum reaction force. During the movement of non-periodic events, the body posture is more complicated, such as the step jump of pole vault, supporting pull-ups, handstand turning, landing over the pole, etc. These movements are constantly changing body postures, which serve to complete and improve the quality of sports.
