Open Access
Online First is a feature that enables the publication of final revised articles online before their inclusion in a printed issue. This accelerates the dissemination of research findings and ensures that your authors' work reaches the audience promptly.
Articles published through Online First are assigned a DOI upon their online posting. They should be cited as follows:
Author(s). Title of the article. Exercise and Quality of Life. Advance online publication. DOI:10.31382/xxxx
After assignment to a final issue, citations can include the volume and page numbers in addition to the DOI.
Once articles are allocated to a specific issue, their hosting transitions from the Online First page to the main journal archive. The DOI ensures persistent accessibility.
Citations to Online First articles are counted toward the journal's Impact Factor if other indexing criteria are met. This promotes earlier engagement with the published work.
Online First articles are considered final but not definitive until assigned to a specific issue. Errors identified in the online version can be corrected before the final issue publication.

SCOLIOSIS AND TREATING SCOLIOSIS WITH SCHROTH METHOD
Idiopathic scoliosis is a deformity of the spinal column and is found among healthy children. Etiology of idiopathic scoliosis is unknown. Spinal shift occurs in all three planes followed
by muscle disfunction and reduced vital capacity of the lungs. Asymmetric loading on the spine
can be listed as one of the factors of rapid progression of scoliosis, whereby large pressure is put on
the concave side of the scoliotic curvature due to the shift of standing balance of the body. Rehabilitation is based upon improvement of functionality, ability and capacity of the patient with scoliosis. The initial stage of rehabilitation rests on correct diagnosis and estimation of patient’s condition in order to commence the treatment in the best possible manner. The Schroth method has a
long-standing tradition and is primarily applied in correction of scoliosis. It is based on three-dimensional breathing, proper pelvic correction and specific exercises and education of patients in
order to continue the treatment at home.
