Objective: Commenting on the return to sport after some injury is in doubt. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between test scores of movement control and a history of knee and ankle injury in active females. Methods: Statistical population of this study was 57 active females (22 healthy subjects, 19 subjects with a history of previous knee injury and 16 subjects with a history of previous ankle injury) with age ranging from 18 to 25 years old. In order to evaluate subjects, were used to the movement control test set consists of nine separate questions. Total maximum points in the subtests were 40 points, which less point was a better result in these tests. For statistical analysis, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Levene test, analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey test were used (Significant at 95% and the alpha less than or equal 0.05, and using of the SPSS software v. 22). Results: The results of this study showed test scores of movement control earned by females with a history of ankle and knee injuries was significantly different with the healthy females (P=0.001).Compare scores of subjects with contact and non-contact injuries with healthy women showed that contact injury had higher scores than those who are non-contact injuries. The differences between the groups with any of these injuries are significant with no injury group (P=0.001).Cut-off point for this test was about 15.5. Conclusion: The scores of functional movement screening give a detailed model of the injury prevention to coaches in order to predict the risk of lower extremity injuries in athletes. So its need to coaches in order to the prevention of sports injuries, use the functional movement screening tests. To measure the performance level of the athletes before the start of the season, in order to identified athletes that are at risk of injury, in order to improve their capabilities.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of an 8-week 11+ exercise program on seven test scores of Functional Movement Screening (FMS) in female futsal players. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted on 48 female futsal players who were selected using purposive and convenience sampling methods and randomly divided into two groups of exercise (n=36; Mean±SD age=23.3±2.8 years; Mean±SD height=164.94±4.93 cm; Mean±SD weight=63.58±6.35 kg) and control (n=12; Mean±SD age=23.08±2.74 years; Mean±SD height=165.42±5.08 cm; Mean±SD weight=62.83±6.10 kg). Seven FMS tests were carried out before and after implementation of the 11+ exercise protocol for 8 weeks, 3 sessions per week each for 20 minutes. For analyzing the data, repeated-measures ANOVA was used considering a significant level of P≤0.05. Results: The 11+ exercise program had a significant interaction effect on the scores of deep squat (F(1.46)=6.07; P=0.01), hurdle step (F(1.46)=4.98; P=0.03), and in-line lunge (F(1.46)=11.63; P=0.001) in subjects, but had no significant effect on their shoulder mobility (F(1.46)=2.19; P=0.14), active straight-leg raise (F(1.46)=2.003; P=0.16), trunk stability push-up (F(1.46)=1.09; P=0.30), and rotary stability (F(1.46)=0.20; P=0.20). Conclusion: It seems that the 11+ exercise program was effective in improving the FMS scores of female futsal players. It can be used by coaches and corrective exercises experts as a training method for injury prevention before training in female futsal players.

The aim of this research was to verify the FMS (Functional Movement Screening) method as apredictor of success in performing gymnastic elements on the floor routine and vault, on aselected sample composed of 36 male subjects aged 20 - 22 years, students of Faculty ofPhysical Education and Sport, University of Banja Luka. A battery of 11 motor skills tests wasassessed: 7 at floor routine (side-to-side and front-to-back cartwheel, roundoff, front and backhandspring, forward and backward flip) and 4 on vault (squat through on the vault and straddlevault with pre-flight, front handspring on vault, roundoff vault) together with FMS resultsall results received normal distribution and a relatively low average FMS value(14.313), which according to many authors is near the limit of the risk of injury (14). The overallresults of the correlation analysis indicated statistically significant relationship between FMSand variables PRENAZ (0.049) and SALNAZ (0.038) at significance level of0.05, while the applied regression analysis gave general information on the prediction modelthat showed statistical significance of 0.03 with the predictor variable FMS at the level of significance0.05. Observing the values of the determination coefficients R2, it was establishedthat the FMS method can predict the performance of the selected gymnastic elements on thefloor routine and the vault as an integral model, explaining about 96% of the common variabilitywith a criterion, representing a significant statistical value.

Context Ankle injuries are common at all levels of American football, and retired National Football League (NFL) players have a high prevalence of osteoarthritis (OA), but little is known about how ankle injuries influence OA prevalence and daily activities in this population or how surgical interventions for such injuries alter the risk of OA. Objective To examine (1) the association of ankle-injury history with OA prevalence, (2) the association of surgical intervention after ankle injury with OA prevalence, and (3) the relationships among ankle injuries, reported OA, and daily activities in retired NFL players. Design Case-control study. Setting Survey. Patients or Other Participants Data from the Retired NFL Players General Health Survey. Main Outcome Measure(s) We created a 7-category main exposure variable that differentiated respondents by football-related ankle injury and surgical intervention. Multivariable binomial regression models were used to estimate prevalence ratios and 95% confidence intervals. Among those reporting OA, we examined the distribution of responses regarding whether OA affected daily activities. Results Among the 2446 respondents, 920 participants experienced OA in any joint during their lifetime. Compared with those reporting no ankle injuries, the prevalence of OA was higher among those with a history of ankle injury. Also, the prevalence of OA was higher among those who had undergone surgery versus those who had not. The number of retired NFL players who reported that OA often affected their daily activities increased with the number of ankle injuries. Conclusions Among former NFL players, a history of ankle injury increased the prevalence of OA. More ankle injuries increased the probability that OA negatively affected daily activities. Future prospective research is needed to better determine the influence of surgical intervention at the ankle or foot on OA.

OBJECTIVE: Dance is associated with a high risk of injury, with fatigue identified as a contributing factor. Functional movement screening (FMS) has been used to identify alterations in normal movement which may contribute to injury risk, though this test is not normally performed in a fatigued state. The aim of this study was to determine whether fatigue induced by the dance aerobic fitness test (DAFT) results in changes in FMS scores with implications for performance and injury risk. METHODS: Forty-one university dancers completed the FMS before and immediately after completion of the DAFT. Rate of perceived exertion and heart rate were quantified as measures of fatigue. RESULTS: Post-DAFT, the mean FMS composite score (15.39±1.86) was significantly less (p≤0.01) than the pre-exercise score (16.83±1.83). Element-specific analysis revealed that the deep squat, non-dominant lunge, and dominant inline lunge scores were all significantly impaired post-DAFT (all p≤0.01). CONCLUSION: The identification of changes in quality of movement in a fatigued state suggests that movement screening should also be performed post-exercise to enhance screening for injury risk. The influence of dance-specific fatigue was FMS element-specific. Specifically, the deep squat and inline lunge were most susceptible to fatigue, with implications for injury risk and performance and reflective of the high level of neuromuscular control required.
