Functional movement screen as a tool for functional evaluation and prediction of the risk of injury among floorball athletes rating floorballers by using the FMS test
Journal Title: Antropomotoryka. Journal of Kinesiology and Exercise Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 25, Issue 72
Abstract
Aim: An attempt to verify the disorders in fundamental movement patterns occurring in young floorball players and the relationship between the observed disorders and the occurrence of injuries. Material and methods: The study included 23 high-performance male floorball players, ranging in age from 16 to 19 years(mean age 18 years). To evaluate the movement patterns, Functional Movement Screen (FMS) was used. The analysis used the total score of the test and the results of each of the 7 motor tasks. The characteristics of the athletes’ injuries were obtained using a questionnaire.Results: The mean total score in the study group was 17 points out of 21 possible. In the tests, asymmetric differences between the right and left side of the body were observed for 12 players. During the final season, 12 people suffered injuries, among them, 10 of the players reached a score of 17 points or below (83%) in the FMS test.Conclusions: The use of the Functional Movement Screen Test in young floorball athletes, can detect asymmetry and dysfunction associated with the specifics of practicing this sport. The obtained FMS test result correlates with the history of injuries and contusions. The FMS test is an inexpensive and quick tool for functional assessment and seems to be a useful test for early detection of abnormalities in the patterns and asymmetry of floorball players. In turn, it can prevent and reduce the risk of injury, which is particularly important in young players - juniors.
