Effects of Training Programs on Movement Patterns Measured by the Functional Movement Screen in Youth Athlete：A Protocol for Systematic Review
Year: 2022
Type: study-registration
Study design: Study Protocol
Abstract: Review question / Objective: This review will systematically examine and compare the outcomes of different training programs to evaluate the training effects on the athletic youth performance in the Functional Movement Screen test and identify the characteristics of the effective training programs.Condition being studied: Functional movement competency is considered one important index for youth athlete's professional development, especially for those at a crucial transition into higherlevel physical demands of future training and competition.The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) has been used to screen athletes' fundamental movement quality, identify limitations and asymmetries, and establish their risk for sustaining an injury.The seven fundamental movement patterns tested in the FMS include deep squat (DS), hurdle step (HS), inline lunge (ILL), shoulder mobility (SM), active straight leg-raise (ASLR), trunk stability pushup (PU) and rotary stability (RS).Each movement pattern is scored on a 0-3 numeric scale based on standardized criteria, with the score from all sub-tests summed to provide a composite score out of 21.An increased risk of injury was associated with FMS composite scores ≤14.Notably, studies have shown that youth athletes commonly demonstrate lower FMS scores and indicate that they may be in the face of higher risk of injury because of their poorquality movements.Therefore, this review will focus on the youth athlete functional movement quality measured by the FMS test.INPLASY registration number: This protocol was registered with the International Platform of Registered Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols (INPLASY) on 05 August 2022 and was last updated on 05 August 2022 (registration number INPLASY202280021).
