“…Studying the physical preparation process success of young people makes given study even more relevant and sought-after [3,4]. In this case, the authors' position is coherent with the opinion of foreign experts [1,5,19] in the context of increased motor activity and improving the functional condition characteristics [8,9,20,21]; more successful future professional activities of students [6,7]. The results of our study and other specialists indicate the need for changes in physical education curricula for modern young people [10,11] Improving the physical education of young people in higher educational institutions is aimed at increasing the level of their physical preparation [5,13].…”

Purpose. To make a comparative analysis and evaluate the effectiveness of physical exercises in a technical university and departmental university of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. Material and methods. The study involved male students (1 functional group of health) of the Irkutsk National Research Technical University (Russia, n = 1380) and cadets of the East Siberian Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia (Russia, n = 762). Cadets studied at 1, 2 and 3 courses. The characteristics of physical preparation and the functional condition of students and cadets were analyzed. Results. During the training period, most indicators of cadets' physical preparation significantly exceed their values in students. This is due to the preliminary selection of candidates for training in educational institutions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. It is also associated with a expressed training orientation of the process of physical preparation. The dynamics of the values of the indicators of the functional condition of the body of cadets is characterized by a high price of adaptation to physical activity. This can lead to the occurrence of pre-pathological conditions and pathological processes of the cardiovascular system. Conclusions. The dynamics of the values of indicators of physical preparation of students and cadets cannot be the only objective criterion for the effectiveness of the system of their physical education. For its full assessment, it is necessary to analyze the parameters of the functional condition of the body, characterizing the reaction to physical activity. Cadets have a great adaptation to physical activity. In this case, it cannot be concluded that the physical training of cadets is more effective.

“…Although the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in poorer home exercise compliance and loss of posttest data points, 45% of females had passing TSPU scores at posttest. Additionally, this study had the second largest female representation in an FMS™ corrective exercise program with twelve subjects completing all FMS™ components compared to previous intervention studies which included four 26 and eighteen 30 females.…”

“…While the improvement observed in this study fell short of the hypothesis, 45% (n=9/20) represents a larger proportion of successful performance on the TSPU compared to other literature in female populations. Commonly utilized approaches for improving TSPU performance includes static exercises (ie planks), single plane movements, 27,28,30 or strength training. 27,43 While these studies have shown improvements in total FMS™ score, most of the subjects were males 27,28,43 and multiplanar dynamic trunk stability are largely unaddressed.…”

“…Nearly all are effective at improving composite scores on the FMS™ within four to six weeks, in varied populations including firefighters, 26,27 mixed martial arts athletes, 28 professional football players, 29 and Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) cadets. 30 However, there are several limitations that hinder a direct transfer of the results of these programs to the clinical treatment of trunk stability, as measured by the TSPU, in females. First, the populations studied are predominantly male.…”

BackgroundTrunk stability is a risk factor commonly associated with lower extremity injuries, particularly in females. Performance on trunk stability tasks, such as the Trunk Stability Push Up (TSPU), is less than optimal in females. Current corrective programs include few females, and clinically, improvements for females have been minimal. Purpose/HypothesisThe purpose of this pilot study was to determine the effectiveness of a novel trunk stability intervention program in improving TSPU performance in a cohort of active female participants. It was hypothesized that ≥60% of participants would improve their TSPU scores to ≥2 via Functional Movement Screen™ (FMS™) criteria following a novel six-week intervention program. Study Design Pilot Cohort Study MethodsParticipants were screened for pain with lumbar and shoulder clearing tests and hypermobility was assessed using Beighton scores. Additional testing included a breathing screen, the FMS™, Y-Balance Test-Lower Quarter and Y-Balance Test-Upper Quarter. Participants who scored a 1 on the TSPU received a home exercise program instructed by student physical therapists. Exercises focused on improving awareness of lumbar spine position and thoracic spine mobility. Participants returned for follow-ups after two and four weeks for instruction in exercise progression, which increased postural demand on the lumbar spine and upper extremities, and utilized closed-chain, multiplanar stability strategies. ResultsNine of 20 participants (45%) scored ≥2 on the TSPU at posttest. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, only 12 participants were able to complete all posttest outcome measures. No significant differences were noted in the remaining outcome measures. Conclusion:The results of this study indicate that a multiplanar exercise approach, combining anti-extension and anti-rotation training, was beneficial for inducing trunk stability improvements in some active females.

Sex-related Differences in Functional Movement Screen Scores Among Reserve Officers’ Training Corps Cadets

et al. 2021

Introduction The primary aim of Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) programs is to prepare cadets for future military service. To successfully complete one of these programs and perform active duty responsibilities, cadets must be able to complete a variety of physical tasks. Therefore, performing movement screening may be useful for identifying potential movement disparities that could lead to injury. The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether sex-related differences in movement patterns exist on the Functional Movement Screen (FMS). The FMS is a tool that uses seven functional movements to assess movement pattern deficits and asymmetries; deep squat, hurdle step, inline lunge (ILL), shoulder mobility, active straight-leg raise (ASLR), trunk stability pushup (TSPU), and rotary stability. Materials and Methods Archived data for 93 (male, n = 69; female n = 24) ROTC cadets were provided to the primary investigators for analysis. Independent t-tests (P < .05) were conducted to analyze differences in assessments between sexes. Results Significant differences between sexes were observed on the ILL (P = .014), ASLR (P < .001), and TSPU (P < .001). Females scored higher on both the ILL (2.13 ± 0.54) and ASLR (2.04 ± 0.69) compared with males (1.81 ± 0.52 and 1.48 ± 0.58). Males scored significantly higher (P ≤ .001) on the TSPU (2.57 ± .581) compared with females (2.00 ± .417). No significant differences were observed in the deep squat (P = .865), hurdle step (P = .829), shoulder mobility (P = .342), and rotary stability (P = .230) assessments. Conclusions Sex differences in the ILL, ASLR, and TSPU may be because of greater mobility in the ankle and hamstrings and reduced upper-body muscle mass for females compared with males. Males performed better than females on the TSPU test. In conclusion, sex-related differences in FMS performance do exist within the ROTC population. Additionally, these differences should be taken into consideration when designing specific exercise programs for ROTC cadets.
