The Relationship Between Functional Movement Screening and Joint Range of Motion, Y-Balance Test and Countermovement Jump in Amateur Soccer Players

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between a functional movement screening (FMS) test and joint range of motion (ROM), balance (YBT), and countermovement jump (CMJ) performance in amateur soccer players. A study was conducted with 25 male amateur soccer players to assess their physical abilities using various tests. The tests included FMS, YBT, CMJ, ROM for shoulder extension, hip abduction, hip external rotation, and ankle dorsi/plantar flexion. Pearson’s correlation test was used to examine the association between the variables. A significant positive correlation between the FMS and CMJ (r=0.424, p
