This study approaches two factors, which are believed to be fundamental: the body posture and nutrition. One represents the balance of the body between the internal and external forces, having in mind that those are joint structures, the other, represents our lives, because the human body uses energy from feeding for its physiological tasks as well as for triggering the process of growing up, forming important requirements for a healthy life. The aim of this work is to study of the body posture and its nutritional aspects of the students, males and females, from the 5th to 8th grades of public schools. Accurate studies made it necessary to develop a specific evaluation protocol in order to get the student´s profile regarding their routine and posture habits. Anthropometrics measures and skinfold thickness were used according to the world Health Organization´s classification "OMS (1997) classification.
