Introduction: The Functional Movement Screen is a standardized tool that proposes the evaluation of movement and body stability. That information can assist in decision-making for accurate and focused training programs. However, few studies address its use in the rehabilitation of table tennis players. Objective: Perform an experimental study on the physical training guided effect by the Functional Movement System method in sports injuries rehabilitation. Methods: Ten table tennis players, aged 18 to 24 years, with knee assessment scale scores between 6 and 8 points and skill level II in the sport were selected. The individuals underwent three months of physical training guided adequately by the screening results. SPSS20 software was used to analyze body composition indices, including thigh and calf circumferences. Lower limb torque was also compared. Results: There was no change in weight or BMI; however, a difference was noted in the thigh (from52.61cm to 53.26cm) and calf (from 32.34cm to 33.16cm) circumference. Statistical difference was noted in squat, straight knee raise, hurdles, and flexion tests (P<0.001). Conclusion: The Functional Movement System proved to be effective as a screening and assessment tool for rehabilitation in knee injuries of table tennis players. Evidence Level II; Therapeutic Studies - Investigating the result.
