Assessment of Motor Fitness in Soccer Players by Means of Functional Movement Screening
Journal Title: Medycyna Sportowa - Year 2018, Vol 34, Issue 4
Abstract
Background. The aim of our study was to explore soccer players’ motor fitness level and their ability to move within the basic movement patterns; identify most frequent dysfunctions, movement asymmetry, and functional limitations. Material and methods. A total of 89 males between 18 and 33 years of age divided into training group (59 professional soccer players) and control group (30 individuals who did not play soccer). Each participant underwent one FMS testing comprising 7 motion tests based on the basic motion patterns. Results. Statistical analysis revealed that an average result was for the training 15,4, and for the control group 11.9 out of 21 scores, respectively. The relationship between FMS testing scores, BMI (Pearson correlation coefficient group 1 = 0.9848 and group 2 = -0.31191), a number of years of training (Pearson correlation coefficient = 0.21634), and a number of injuries (Pearson correlation coefficient = -0.13952). Conclusions. 1. Soccer players obtained higher scores in all but one tests. 2. Correct BMI results in FMS testing. 3. Along with increase in a number of years of professional training and incurred injuries. 4. The dominant limb achieved no higher scores in asymmetry tests and injuries occurred in the non-dominant lower limb more frequently than in the dominant upper limb.<br/><br/>
