“…More recently, researchers have attempted to progress the accuracy of this non-invasive and popular method (Kozieł & Malina, 2018;Moore et al, 2015), however researchers and practitioners continue to implement the "Mirwald equation" when estimating maturity status in adolescent soccer athletes (Borges et al, 2018;Müller et al, 2018;Murtagh et al, 2018;Wright & Chesterton, 2018). Despite this, it should be acknowledged that these equations to estimate maturity status (such as the "Mirwald" equation) may be subject to error, as they are indeed "predictive" and not direct measures of maturity status.…”

“…Two of the seven FMS™ tasks primarily assess joint mobility (active straight-leg raise; shoulder mobility) while the other five have been shown to be underpinned by stability. 52 Future work should also report if additional associations in youth athletic cohorts exist between specific core strength training modalities and the measured competency in various movement skills (e.g. trunk control during a lunge step assessment).…”

This systematic review evaluates empirical evidence for intervention studies targeting delivery and improvement of movement competency (MC) within youth athletes. Previous research suggests that youth athletes lack adequate MCs required to meet the demands of training for sport. From the systematic search, studies were included if they involved healthy youth (8–19 years) involved in organised sport (i.e. athletes); used an assessment at two or more time points for assessing MC outcomes; and compared movement quality of a targeted intervention group to a control or comparison group. After removing duplicates, 799 unique articles across six databases were identified and screened, with six studies initially satisfying inclusion criteria. Additional records were identified through searching reference lists ( n = 2), with eight articles included. Two authors evaluated and appraised studies for methodological quality using the PEDro assessment; with scores from 4 to 7 points. Five studies reported improvement in ratings of MC in experimental groups, compared to control or comparator groups. The Functional Movement Screen™ was the most common assessment used in five studies. Intensity, length and design of interventions varied, yet all studies revealed inclusion of squats and their derivatives to varying degrees of load from bodyweight to barbells. Future research should explore differences in training session exposures over time, alongside methodological improvements such as participant allocation to minimise baseline differences, blinding of assessors, and where possible athletes to some degree. Charting the course of MC development through multiple time points, along with reporting individual movement task scores, can aid practitioners in dedicating appropriate time to MC development in an athlete’s formative years.

“…To date, a number of studies investigated maturation effects in the average and athletic population of adolescents. However, only few studies appear to have examined the relationship between maturity and functional movement patterns [22][23][24][25]. These studies included only the athletic adolescent population.…”

“…Wright and Chesterton [25] aimed to investigate differences between individual functional movement patterns at different stages of maturation in young athletes (mean age = 14.1 years, age between 8 and 18 years old) from various sports (field athletics, endurance sport, team sports, combat, and water sports). Participants were categorized in the three distinct maturation groups, participants who were before, at, and after their adolescent growth spurt (peak height velocity (PHV)).…”

Obesity, low level of physical activity and dysfunctional movement patterns presents one of the leading health issues that can contribute to increased risk for developing not only metabolic and cardiovascular disease, but also musculoskeletal problems. The aim of this paper is to summarize literature and evidence about relationship between functional movement (FM) patterns, physical activity (PA) level and weight status in average adolescent population. In addition, this paper summarized current evidence about relations between maturation effects and functional movement among athletic adolescent populations. Summary of current evidence suggests that decreased physical activity level is negatively correlated to functional movement in adolescence. Additionally, most studies suggest that weight status is negatively correlated to functional movement patterns although there is conflicting evidence in this area. Evidence consistently showed that overweight and obese adolescents exhibit poorer functional movement compared to normal weight adolescents. In addition, it appears that maturation has effects on functional movement in athletic populations of adolescents. It is therefore important that practitioners consider interventions which develop optimal functional movement alongside physical activity and weight management strategies in children, in order to reduce the risks of injuries and pathological abnormality arising from suboptimal movement patterns in later life.
