      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Supportive, Other design features: The sway back posture is a very unfavorable situation in which most of the joints of the body are out of the ideal alignment, so it is difficult to manage such a position in which all the joints of the body are out of the correct biomechanical alignment. This condition is associated with back pain and neck pain, especially in adolescent boys, who may suffer from it at some point. The current research includes a comprehensive exercise protocol designed by the researcher based on the background of the research to improve the alignment of the whole body to measure its effect on the improvement of the physical condition of these adolescent boys with sway back posture (who are not currently in pain).​, Randomization description: Considering that we need two groups with equal volume of 20 idividual, we will use the limited randomization method. For this purpose, web randomization (random.org website) will be used. First, by using the list randomizer menu, the web program will assign a non-repeating integer number between 1 and 40 to each of the written names, and each individual in the research will be known by a number. Then, using the random sequence generator menu, two random columns of 20 random numbers including non-repeating integers between 1 and 40 will be generated. By using the list randomizer menu again, one of the two columns will be selected as the control group and the other column as the training group. All these operations will be done by a third person who is not involved in the research, and its content will remain hidden until after the pre-test is completed. By using the web tool, without human intervention to generate a random sequence and assign participants to the experimental group and the control group, as well as not informing the main researcher about the random sequence until after the pre-test, it can be ensured that the concealment of the random allocation It has also been done properly.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: The intervention group will include 20 subjects who will participate in the comprehensive corrective exercise program for eight weeks and three days a week. This will be include the following: a five-minute warm-up (in the form of low-to-moderate intensity running) at the beginning of the training and a five-minute cool-down in the form of low-to-moderate intensity running at the end of the training. The time of corrective exercises is between 40 and 60 minutes, including seven  exercises (two stretching and five resistance exercises) with different levels. Exercise one: Form of exercise: lying supine on the back without bearing weight on the bed and foam roll, observing the principle of centrality and neutral position in all joints. Type of exercise: passive stretching of  glenohumeral Joint extensors, especially latissimus dorsi and teres major, stretching of internal rotators, horizontal adductors and glenohumeral joint protractors according to past research suggestions. Exercise two: Form of the exercise: lying supine without bearing weight passively in four levels of the exercise and standing with weight bearing in two levels of the exercise actively, observing the principle of centrality and neutral position in all joints. Type of exercise: passive and active stretching of the iliopsoas and iliotibial band muscles, hamstrings, hip external rotators and ankle plantar flexor muscles, in order to restore the correct movement to the hip, knee and ankle joints based on theoretical foundations and past research. Exercise three: Form of exercise: lying supine without bearing weight. Type of exercise: resistance training to activate the deep muscles of the abdomen, pelvis and neck and practice correct breathing based on the suggestions of kolar and Chaitow. Exercise four. Forms of exercise: standing. in level A with minimum weight bearing and in level B of exercise with maximum challenge and weight bearing, observing the principle of centrality and neutral position in all joints. Type of exercise: resistance exercise that will be done to increase the level of neuromuscular tolerance, especially with more focus on the deep muscles of the abdomen, spine stabilizers and gluteus maximus and gluteus medius, which according to past research reports, these target muscles had great weakness. Exercise five: Form of exercise: prone lying on the ball with weight bearing. Type of exercise: this resistance exercise will be done to increase the level of neuromuscular endurance by increasing training challenges, improving proprioception and coordination of superficial and deep muscles. Exercise six: exercise Form: sitting on the steps. Type of exercise: resistance exercise that will be done to restore proper alignment to the back and lumbar region based on Brugger's cogwheel mechanism. Exercise seven: Standing squat. Type of exercise: resistance training to increase the level of neuromuscular tolerance by increasing training challenges, improving proprioception and coordination of superficial and deep muscles, improving movement programs and improving the movement system. Due to the direct supervision of the examiner and the leveling of the exercises based on the difficulty and gradual progress and the non-illness of the subjects, the exercises are safe and it is expected that there will be no injury or harm to the individuals. Intervention 2: The control group will include 20 subjects who will not participate in corrective exercises and will continue their daily routine during the eight weeks that the experimental group will perform corrective exercises.</i_freetext>
