FMS SCREENING AS A REVOLUTIONARY - REHABILITATIVE MEASURING INSTRUMENT IN SPORTS AND RECREATION

Abstract

International sports programs have established FMS screening procedures as an essential component for identifying students, recreational and professional athletes who are at a high risk of injury. The aim of this paper is to establish the use of the Functional Movement Screening (FMS), as a system which deals with the analysis of the functional patterns of movement and their components and determines the efficiency of the locomotor system through the evaluation of one’s mobility, motor control and stability. This research included thirteen original research papers. Each paper handled the issue and was able to meet the
requirements of the set goal. A selection of works from 2010 to 2015 was taken as the method for this paper.
