“…This test reflects the flexibility, stability, coordination flexibility, and other qualities in the basic movement patterns of the human body. Screening discovers the compensatory phenomena in the human body's movement patterns and formulates corresponding corrective training plans based on these deficiencies to provide effective support for the improvement of human movement ability and the reduction of the probability of injury (Ferrauti et al, 2018). Functional movement screening (FMS) is different from traditional exercise performance testing in that FMS focuses on the quality of the actions performed by the human body during the test, emphasizing the control of actions, not the quantity (Newton et al, 2017).…”

Background: Functional Movement Screening (FMS) is a tool to screen the musculoskeletal factors of injury or dysfunctionality patterns in sports. The establishment of functional movement screening (FMS) has built a bridge between physiotherapy, rehabilitation, and physical training, to realize the integration of multiple disciplines. This study tends to investigate musculoskeletal risk factors through the FMS of Judo players in Pakistan. Method: A total of 10 national-level athletes were selected who had been national-level competitors in Pakistan. Different movement patterns/drills prescribed by FMS were performed by them under a secure environment. These movement patterns were designed to provide observable performance of basic locomotor, scheming, and stabilizing movements by putting a person in severe positions where weaknesses and imbalances become noticeable if proper movement and motor control are not utilized。FMS score sheet was used for marking along with total scores of all drills. Conclusion: Results showed that the majority of the Judo athletes were found under standardized grading out of whom only three players were able to get marked above 16 out of 21. Athletes were unaware of FMS and the majority of athletes failed to perform FMS drills which caused them problems in their balance, flexibility, and agility.

“…In this regard, the concomitant development of strength, power, speed, and agility has been proposed as a prerequisite for success in tennis (Fernández-Fernández et al, 2014). To optimize training strategies and monitor training loads, it is essential to regularly assess tennis players using valid and reliable measurements and instruments (Ferrauti et al, 2018;Reilly et al, 2009). Consistent evaluations will provide coaches with important information regarding tennis players (e.g., weakness or necessities), which aid in training prescription when looking for the optimal long-term athlete development (Fernández-Fernández et al, 2014).…”

“…Consistent evaluations will provide coaches with important information regarding tennis players (e.g., weakness or necessities), which aid in training prescription when looking for the optimal long-term athlete development (Fernández-Fernández et al, 2014). After implementing individualized training programs, testing should be frequently repeated to detect changes in physical performance and adjust subsequent training programs (Ferrauti et al, 2018).…”

“…Among a series of testing procedures, field-based tests present some advantages, as they seem more appropriate to mimic the specific demands of complex sports such as tennis (Ferrauti et al, 2018). Further, fieldbased tests are easy-to-implement, ecologically valid, and time-efficient, as they allow for the simultaneous recording of several players and generally require inexpensive equipment (Reilly et al, 2009).…”

“…Further, fieldbased tests are easy-to-implement, ecologically valid, and time-efficient, as they allow for the simultaneous recording of several players and generally require inexpensive equipment (Reilly et al, 2009). As a result, field-based tests such as 20 m linear sprint, change of direction (COD) tests (e.g., T-Test, 5-0-5), and jumping ability tests (e.g., countermovement jump [CMJ]) are commonly used with tennis players (Cooke et al 2011;Fernández-Fernández et al, 2014;Ferrauti et al, 2018;Myburgh et al, 2016). Although without a high scientific justification, the hexagon test has been implemented as a measure of agility performance (Beekhuizen et al 2009), being included in the fitness testing battery proposed by the United States Tennis Association (USTA; www.ushsta.org) and the International Tennis Federation (ITF; www.itftennis.com) (Kovacs et al, 2016).…”

The hexagon agility test is widely used in tennis players’ fitness evaluation, although its validity has not been fully stablished. This study aimed to assess the relationships between sprinting, jumping, and change of direction (COD) ability and hexagon test performance. Thirty-five under-16 tennis players completed a testing battery including the hexagon test, 20-m linear sprint, bilateral and unilateral countermovement jumps (CMJ), triple leg-hop for distance, T-Test, 5-0-5 and Pro-Agility test on two different sessions, separated by one week. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and the standard error of measurement (SEM) were used to assess the reliability of the test. Pearson’s product correlations (r) were used to analyze the relationships between the hexagon test and the other fitness tests. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. The hexagon test showed high relative reliability (ICC = 0.88) and low SEM values (0.17 s). Significant small to large correlations were found between the hexagon test time and linear sprint time (r = 0.40 to 0.60), COD tests (r = 0.53 to 0.79), and jumping performance (r = -0.40 to -0.68). The hexagon test is a simple, quick, easy-to-implement and reliable test, which allow it to be included in tennis players’ testing batteries. The test is related to measures of speed, power and agility, although the magnitude of these relationships does not allow for the replacement of the more traditional assessments (e.g., CMJ, 20-m sprint, T-Test) within tennis players’ testing batteries.
