What are the effects and benefits of standing in a military posture?

Generally, standing at military attention has various benefits, including strengthening willpower, improving kyphosis (hunchback), and relieving neck fatigue. Specific details are as follows:

1. Strengthening willpower: Standing at military attention requires maintaining a stable posture for a certain period of time. This demands strong willpower, especially when dealing with fatigue and discomfort. Therefore, this practice helps strengthen an individual's willpower, perseverance, and endurance, fostering a persistent mindset and enhancing stress resistance.

2. Improving kyphosis: Prolonged poor sitting posture and sedentary lifestyles may lead to kyphosis. Standing at military attention requires one to hold the chest high and keep the head upright, maintaining proper standing posture. This helps stretch and strengthen back and abdominal muscles, correcting and adjusting poor spinal alignment associated with hunchback.

3. Relieving neck fatigue: Neck fatigue is often caused by prolonged fixed head positions or incorrect neck posture. Standing at military attention requires keeping the neck straight and shifting the body’s center of gravity downward, which helps relax neck muscles and reduce feelings of fatigue.

In addition to the above benefits, this practice can also promote lumbar spine recovery, prevent spinal disorders, and improve blood circulation.
