Background and Study Aim. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of functional movement screen and lower extremity training on hamstring/quadriceps (H/Q) ratio in football players. Material and Methods. 11 players from Sivas Belediyespor, affiliated to the Turkish Football Federation, participated in this study. The average age of the players involved in the study was 25.75±4.45, height averages 178.49±8.72 cm, and body weight averages 69.83±6.47 kg. Players who participated in the study had previously suffered a knee area injury. In addition to team training for 8 weeks, extra exercises to strengthen their hamstring and quadriceps muscles were conducted 3 times a week. Isokinetic force tests and Functional Movement Screen (FMS) tests were conducted in the study. Data obtained were evaluated in SPSS package 24 program. Results: There was a significant difference in the total score of FMS at the level of p<0.05. Deep squat 13.5%, hurdle step 10.49%, in line lunge 9%, shoulder mobility 3.44%, active straight 6.84%, trunk stability push up 6.84%, rotatuar stability 14.73% and FMS total score 17.24% showed improvement. There was a significant difference in the H/Q ratio between both the right knee and left knee pre-test and post-test at p<0.01 level. The right knee developed at a rate of 600 H/Q at a rate of 17.24% and the left knee developed at a rate of 600 H/Q. Conclusions: As a result, 8 weeks of extra lower extremity exercises can be said to increase the H/Q ratio of football players. It is also seen that the FMS score has increased. Thus, it is thought that the risk of football players having a sports injury again is reduced.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a 6-week land and resistance training of 13-16 year old swimmers groups to lower limb isokinetic strength values and to swimming performance. 22 swimmers participated in this study. The subjects were divided into three groups (A-B-C) according to their 50m swimming degrees. 25m underwater,25m,50m,75m and 100m freestyle swimming degrees of swimmers were recorded. As isokinetic measurements was applied at 60°/s,180°/s and 240°/s speed and the right and left knee. Kruskal-Wallis is used the differences between groups, the Mann-Whitney U test is used for which group the difference is caused and group differences were analyzed with the Wilcoxon test. Statistically significant difference was found between pre-test and post-test of 25m underwater,25m,50m,75m and 100m freestyle swimming values (p<0.05). In all groups, at 60°/s,180°/s,240°/s, for the right and left knee flexors and extensor, and freestyle swimming degrees positive development is observed. After 6-weeks training, isokinetic strength and swimming degrees of the group C increased 9.25%, whereas B has increased 8.35%. The pre-test and post-test results in 25m underwater,25m,50m,75m and 100m freestyle swimming values were statistically significant between the groups (p<0.05). In this study, it is possible to say that the land and resistance training can make a significant contribution to the performance of the force in this age group swimmer. ÖzetBu çalışmanın amacı; 13-16 yaş grubu yüzücülerde 6 haftalık kara ve direnç antrenmanlarının alt ekstremite izokinetik kuvvet değerlerine ve yüzme performansına etkisini araştırmaktır. Çalışmaya 22 yüzücü katılmıştır. Denekler 50m yüzme derecelerine göre üç gruba (A-B-C) ayrılmıştır. Yüzücülerin 25m sualtı, 25m, 50m, 75m ve 100m serbest stildeki yüzme dereceleri kayıt edilmiştir. İzokinetik ölçümler 60°/s, 180°/s ve 240°/s hızda sağ ve sol diz için uygulanmıştır. Gruplar arası farka Kruskal Wallis, farkın hangi gruptan kaynaklandığına Mann Whitney U testi, grup içi farklara ise Wilcoxon testi ile bakılmıştır. Ön test ve son test 25m sualtı, 25m, 50m, 75m ve 100m serbest yüzme değerlerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulunmuştur (p<0.05). Tüm grupların, 60º/s, 180º/s ve 240º/s hızda sağ ve sol diz için fleksör ve ektensörlerin tepe tork değerlerinde ve serbest yüzme derecelerinde sayısal olarak pozitif bir gelişim görülmüştür. 6 haftalık antrenman sonunda, C grubunun izokinetik kuvvet ve yüzme derecelerindeki artış (%9.25) iken, B grubunda bu değer (%8.35) çıkmıştır. Yapılan istatistiksel analiz sonucu ön test ve son test 25m sualtı, 25m, 50m, 75m ve 100m serbest yüzme değerlerinde gruplar arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulunmuştur (p<0.05). Bu çalışmada, bu yaş grubu yüzücülerde yapılan kara ve direnç antrenmanlarının kuvvet performansına önemli bir katkı sağlayabileceği söylenebilir.

Context: The functional movement screen (FMS™) is used to identify movement asymmetries and deficiencies. While obesity has been reported to impede movement, the correlation between body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage (BF%), and FMS™ in athletes is unknown. Objective: To determine if there is a relationship between BMI, BF%, and FMS™ scores in a sample of National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I football athletes. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Biodynamics laboratory. Participants: A total of 38 male freshman football players (18.0 [0.7] y, 185.3 [5.5] cm, and 103.9 [20.3] kg). Interventions: Height, weight, and BF% were collected, and subjects underwent the FMS™ conducted by a certified athletic trainer. Main Outcome Measures: The dependent variables were BMI, BF%, composite FMS™ score, and 7 individual FMS™ test scores. Subjects were grouped as normal BMI (BMI < 30 kg/m2) or obese (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2). A composite FMS™ score of ≤14 and an individual FMS™ score of ≤1 were classified as cutoffs for poor movement performance. Results: A negative correlation between composite FMS™ score and BMI approached significance (P = .07, ρ = .296). A negative correlation between composite FMS™ score and BF% was significant (P = .01, ρ = −.449). There was a significant difference in the number of obese subjects scoring below the composite FMS™ cutoff (χ2 = 5.179, P = .02) and the individual FMS™ cutoff on the deep squat (χ2 = 6.341, P = .01), hurdle step (χ2 = 9.870, P = .002), and in-line lunge (χ2 = 5.584, P = .02) when compared with normal BMI subjects. Conclusions: Increased BF% and BMI relate to lower composite FMS™ and individual FMS™ test scores, indicating potentially poor movement patterns in larger National Collegiate Athletic Association football athletes. Future research should focus on examining lower extremity–specific FMS™ tasks individually from composite FMS™ scores.

Movement assessments are commonly used to assess athlete&rsquo;s risk of injury as well as basic and specific skill movement patterns; however, dance is identified to be differing from sports because the average dancer&rsquo;s training load is higher than the athletes. This study aims to identify the difference in the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) level among traditional dancers in Malaysia. A quasi-experimental study design was adopted, which involved 66 dancers (M = 33; F = 33). The study comprised traditional dancers from three ethnic backgrounds, namely, Malay, Chinese and Indian. The descriptive analysis described the level of the dancers&rsquo; FMS, as follows: Malay (M = 16.18, SD = 2.062), Chinese (M = 18.50, SD = 1.102), Indian (M = 18.23, SD = 1.445). The ANOVA analysis found a significant difference in the FMS scores among all three groups of dancers, F (2,63) = 14.026, p &gt;.000. The deep squat, hurdle step, shoulder mobility, active straight leg raise and trunk stability tests for push-up indicated a significant difference, whereas the inline lunges test and rotational stability tests showed no significance difference. However, the Post Hoc analysis showed no significant difference between the Chinese and Indian dancers. It can be concluded that there is a difference in FMS scores between Malay, Chinese and Indian dancers. FMS may be a useful tool to help identify dancers about the risk of injury and improve their movement quality.

AbstractBiomechanical imbalances and inefficient functional movements are considered contributing factors to running-related injuries. Clinical Pilates uses a series of exercises focused on retraining normal movement patterns. This study investigated whether a 6-week course of Clinical Pilates improves functional movement and thereby, potentially, reduces the risk of running-related injuries associated with movement dysfunction. A modified functional movement screen was used to analyze the functional movement ability of forty runners. Forty participants completed a 6-week course of Clinical Pilates delivered by a Clinical Pilates instructor. The movement screen was carried out 3 times for each runner: 6 weeks pre-intervention (baseline), within one week pre-intervention (pre) and within one week post-intervention (post). Repeated-measures analysis of variance and post-hoc tests found significant increases in scores between baseline and post (mean±SD; 13.4±2.4 vs. 17.0±1.7, p<0.01) and pre and post (mean±SD; 13.5±2.5 vs. 17.0±1.7, p<0.01), but no significant difference between baseline and pre (p=0.3). A 6-week course of Clinical Pilates significantly improves functional movement in recreational runners, and this may lead to a reduction in the risk of running-related injuries.
