The Relationship Between Functional Movement Screening With Fitness Factors in Female Athlete Students

Objective: The study examines the relationship between Functional Movement Screening (FMS) tests with fitness factors in female athlete students. Methods: The study population includes 30 female athlete students (Mean±SD of age: 23.36±3.10; height: 163.45±5.06; and 57.40±6.43). FMS test was used for measuring movement patterns. Sargent test was used to measure lower limb power, Y-test was used...

Functional Movement Screening Tests for the Prediction of Injuries in Volleyball: A Qualitative Study

Background. There is little evidence to support the comprehensiveness of FMS in sports populations to predict injuries. Ignoring rapid decelerations and high eccentric forces which may be characteristics of high risk for injury are evident in these tests. With this in mind, it seems logical to use tests to assess the performance of athletes so as to evaluate speed components as well as to ident...

The Relationship Between Dynamic Stability and Functional Movement Screening Test

Purpose: Recently, the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) and Y Balance Tests are used to assess the key movement patterns, dynamic stability and to identify individuals at high risk of injury. But, there are few studies to assess the relationship between the FMS test and Y Balance Test. This study aimed to assess the relationship between dynamic stability and the FMS test. Methods: The subjects...
