The aim of this study was to determine whether the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) test can identify previous injuries among young boys practising football training. The results showed significant differences in the total scores of the FMS tests between the injured group and the non-injured group, indicating that the FMS test is an effective tool for identifying previous injuries among young football players.
The aim of the study was to determine whether the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) test carried out among young boys practising football training identifies previous injuries. Sixty-five boys aged 12-13 years, who had regularly practised football in an academy for at least 3 years, were recruited and divided into two groups: an injured group (IG), consisting of players who had experienced at least one injury in the past (n + 25, age 12.32 +/- 0.48) and a non-injured group (non-IG), a control group, made up of athletes with no injuries to the musculoskeletal system (n = 40, age 12.25 +/- 0.49). Seven FMS tests were used to rate the functional fitness level as a part of the FMS tool. Significant differences between the total scores of the FMS tests (p < 0.001, r = 0.54) were documented. Higher scores in the FMS test were observed in the control group (M = 16.58, SD = 2.04) than in the study group (M = 14.20, +/- SD = 1.96). The FMS test is an effective diagnostic tool to identify previous injuries among young football players.
