“…A significant impact of the training program on the improvement of functional assessment has been demonstrated, which is associated with a lower risk of injury and the probability of increased strength in the subjects has been demonstrated, and it is possible to increase flexibility, although no significant correlations were found. Similar opinion about positive aspects of functional training program have Stanek et al [41] and Kiesel et al [42] who stated that, individualized corrective exercise program was effective at improving scores on the FMS and minimize injury risk.…”

The aim of the research was to verify the functional state of young football players using selected tests of the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) protocol, as well as the impact of the 12 weeks of functional training on the speed parameters. The research was conducted on 20 highly competitive young (U17) football players. Research project was conducted in two stages: in the first part of the study, the functional assessment was made by using the FMS test, then the measurement of the speed parameters was done with the Microgate photocells system. Results showed a significant improvement in the functional state of young football players: FMS 1 (45.2% of difference, p = 0.004), FMS 2 (24.3% of difference, p = 0.012), FMS 3 (48.5% of difference, p = 0.001). After the functional training program, there was also an improvement in the parameters of the acceleration and velocity: acceleration between 5-10 m and speed between 10-30 m shows significant improvement (expressed during covering a given distance) of the footballers, amounting to 0.02 s (2.4%) and 0.04 s (1.5%). But there was no improvement in acceleration between 0-5 m. An appropriate training schedule, based on FMS results, should be adopted in the annual training program to improve basic motor skills of the football players and minimize their injuries. software, A.S. and A.S.S.; validation, A.S., T.G. and A.S.S.; formal analysis, A.S. and A.S.S.; investigation, J.B., A.B. and A.S.; resources, J.B., A.B. and A.S.; data curation, A.S. and A.S.S.; writing-original draft preparation, J.B., A.B. and A.S.; writing-review and editing, A.S., T.G. and A.S.S.; visualization, A.S.; supervision, A.S.; project administration, A.S.; funding acquisition, A.S.

“…The reason for this discrepancy might be the different league the athletes play in. Our investigation is also in line with other five previous studies that have examined the modifiability of the FMSTM with various types of interventions in different sports (Bodden, Needham & Chockalingam, 2015;Cowen, 2010;Frost, Beach, Callaghan & McGill, 2012;Goss, Christopher, Faulk & Moore, 2009;Stanek et al 2017). For instance, Bodden et al (2015) studied an intervention program in mixed martial arts athletes and found significant improvements in total FMS TM score following a 4-week individualized intervention, but no additional improvements in FMS TM scores between weeks 4-8 of the program.…”

Poor functional movement is a risk factor for injuries in soccer players. Players with dysfunctional movement patterns, measured by the Functional Movement Screen (FMSTM), are more likely to suffer an injury compared than those who have higher scores on the FMSTM. The purpose of our study was to assess the effectiveness of 8-weeks of functional movement-based training on fundamental movement patterns. Two groups of Professional male soccer players (experimental, N=15, and control N=15), aged between 18 and 28, of an Italian second division team were compared using the pre-post FMSTM scores after intervention. RM-MANOVA 2 Groups (experimental and control) X 2 Test (pre and post) on the FMS scores revealed a significant a difference for the interaction between Groups and Tests (Wilk's lamba .712, F(3,26) = 3.50, p =.029 Eta2 = .288 Power .713). Following Univariate results on the three subscales of the FMSTM revealed significant interaction between group and test on advanced movement (F(1,28) = 5.19, p = .03, eta2 =.157, observed power .595) and mobility (F(1,28) = 3.89, p = .050, eta2 =.122, observed power .478) but not on stability (p = .305). The results of this study suggest that an 8-week intervention program was an effective way for improving FMSTM scores in a group of male professional soccer players, particularly for advanced movement and mobility subscales. From an applied point of view this findings provide more evidence on the efficacy of qualitative intervention on functional movement pattern improvement that is related to the injury prevention and suggest the importance of specific movement-based intervention with soccer players.

“…A great number of studies have investigated the relationship between the FMS and occurrence of injury and they introduced FMS scores as a predictor of injury. These studies have found that people who scores less than 14 in this test are at injury risk, especially lower extremity injuries [4,6,22]. For instance, O'Connor et al [7] indicated that scores below 14 were associated with an increased likelihood of injury in military personnel.…”

Background Pre-participation examinations are the standard approach for assessing poor movement quality that would increase musculoskeletal injury risk. On the other hand, the neuromuscular control plays a significant role in the prevention of injury and rehabilitation. The main purpose of this study was to determine the effect of an 8-week neuromuscular training on functional movement screen (FMS) in injury-prone military athletes. Methods In the present quasi-experimental study, forty injury-prone male military athlete were identified by functional movement Screen. Functional Movement screen were assessed before and after the 8-week program. Participants were placed into 1 of the 2 groups: intervention (n = 20) and control (n = 20). The intervention group was required to complete a neuromuscular training program that met 3 times per week for 8-week. Data analysis was done using the independent t-test and analysis of covariance at the significant level of p < 0.05. Results The comparison of total FMS score indicated a significant difference (P < 0.05 and effect size = 0.83) between intervention (17.75 ± 1.55) and control (11 ± 1.55) groups. A significant improvement in mobility (p < 0.05 and effect size = 0.39), stability (p < 0.05 and effect size = 0.77) and advanced movement (p < 0.05 and effect size = 0.75) were also found. Conclusion An 8-week neuromuscular training program enhances functional movement screen in military athletes. It seems that this training program can minimize injury risk in injury-prone individuals.
