Abstract: Background: It is important to screen athletes before the competition season to identify those at risk of injury. Three-person basketball is a team sport where injury risks should be closely monitored. The present study investigates the role of the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) test in predicting sports injuries in three-person basketball athletes.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 50 male athletes (22 athletes with injuries and 28 athletes without injuries) with an average age of 25.58±3.83, weight of 76.64±6.23, and height of 184.18±6.55. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to investigate the factors related to injury. SPSS software was used for data analysis, with a significance level of p<0.05.Results: The multiple logistic regression model showed a strong association between the FMS functional screening test and injury. The risk of injury decreased significantly with higher scores on the FMS functional screening test (P-value < 0.05). The FMS functional screening test's adjusted odds ratio (OR) was 0.673.Conclusion: The results indicate that the FMS test can identify athletes more prone to injury in team-neighborhood and championship sports. Coaches and athletes are suggested to use FMS tests in neighborhood disciplines such as three-person basketball to predict and develop more targeted sports injury prevention programs.
