“…16,17 Performance on the YBT improves with sports training and is also a way to evaluate an athlete's preparedness for sport participation. 16,[18][19][20] Although the YBT and FMS TM were developed for the purposes of assessing functional movement patterns and balance which may provide insight to inefficacies throughout the kinetic chain that can cause a decrease in performance and increase injury risk, little evidence exists regarding their relationship to field tests of physical performance (e.g. standing long jump, Pro Agility test).…”

BackgroundPoor balance, lack of neuromuscular control, and movement ability are predictors of performance and injury risk in sports and physical activity participation. The Functional Movement Screen™ (FMS™) and lower quarter Y-Balance Test (YBT) have been used by clinicians to evaluate balance, functional symmetry, and static and dynamic movement patterns, yet little information exists regarding the relationship between the FMS™, YBT, and physical performance tests (e.g. vertical jump) within the high school population. PurposeThe purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the FMS TM , dynamic balance as measured by the YBT and physical performance tests (standing long jump, vertical jump, Pro Agility Test) in male and female high school athletes. Study DesignCohort study. MethodsFifty-six high school athletes (28 females, 28 males; mean age 16.4 ± 0.1) who participated in organized team sports were tested. Participants performed the FMS™, YBT, and three physical performance tests (standing long jump, vertical jump, Pro Agility Test). ResultsFemales outperformed males on the FMS™ and YBT, while males outperformed females on the performance tests. In both sexes, the composite FMS TM score was positively correlated with the left and composite YBT scores. Agility was negatively correlated with composite FMS TM in males (p < 0.05) and the left and composite YBT in females (p < 0.05). ConclusionsThe FMS TM and YBT may evaluate similar underlying constructs in high school athletes, such as dynamic balance and lower extremity power. The results of this study demonstrate the utility of the FMS and YBT to relate multiple constructs of muscular power to an individual's ability to balance. Furthermore, establishing the need for the utilization and application of multiple field-based tests by sports medicine professionals and strength and conditioning coaches when evaluating an athlete's movement and physical performance capabilities. Utilization of multiple field-based tests may provide the first step for the development of injury prevention strategies and long-term athlete development programs. Level of Evidence2b.

“…The results obtained by Shaffer et al [34] in the subjects between 16-35 years, without recent injuries in lower limbs or spine, and with an ICC between good and excellent (0.80-0.91), are in line with our results for volleyball players. However, those obtained by Linek et al [35] in young soccer players (average age of 15.6 years) with a moderate to good ICC (0.57-0.82) indicate a lower reproducibility, which could point out that the reproducibility of the YBT could be influenced by the population under study. On the other hand, the SLSJ presents a greater reproducibility in the left leg (ICC 0.92 and CV 12.3%) than in the right leg (ICC 0.83 and CV 14.1%).…”

“…Once measured, the players were placed barefoot, with one foot on the support platform (dominant leg) and with their hands fixed on the hips, trying to reach as far as possible with the other foot on the three axes, in the following order: anterior, posterolateral, and posteromedial. For the measurement to be valid, the wooden blocks cannot be hit or leaned on, the hands should not loose contact with the hips, and at the end of the movement the athlete must return to the starting position in a balanced and controlled manner, to continue and follow the to the next axis [35].…”

The development of lateral asymmetries in athletes could have an influence on performance or injuries. The aim of this study was to determine the within-day reliability of the symmetry tests and the performance tests, and explore the relationship between them. Eighteen male volleyball players (18.1 ± 2.1 years) participated in this study. Seven lateral symmetry assessments were used, namely: lateral symmetry through tensiomyography (LS), active knee extension (AKE), Y-balance test (YBT), muscular electrical activity in attack jump (MEA-AJ), single-leg squat jump (SLSJ), triple hop test for distance (THTD), and bilateral maximum repetition in leg press (1RMSL); and three volleyball performance tests, namely: the T-test, counter-movement jump (CMJ), and attack jump (AJ). Three in-day measurements were taken from each volleyball player after the recovery was completed. The reliability was calculated through the intraclass correlation coefficient and the coefficient of variation, and the relationship was calculated through Pearson’s bivariate correlation coefficient (p < 0.05). The results indicate that AKE, YBT, and LS are the symmetry tests with increased reproducibility. THTD correlates positively with the AKE test and 1RMSL test, and a greater symmetry in the YBT correlates with a greater performance in the CMJ and AJ performance tests. In conclusion, AKE, LS, and YBT are the best tests to determine, with reliability, the asymmetries in volleyball players, and a greater symmetry in the YBT seems to influence the height of bilateral vertical jump.

“…Due to a significant learning effect that yields the greatest reach distance measured, participants were given 6 practice trials on each leg in each of the 3 reach directions prior to the final recorded trials [14,15]. With careful observation of the researcher the maximal reach distance was marked with an erasable utensil on the tape at the point where the most distal part of the foot reached.…”

OBJECTIVES To determine whether any difference exist between reach distance performance for the anterior (AN), posteromedial (PM), and posterolateral (PL) reach directions of the SEBT and the modified SEBT (mSEBT). METHODS Twelve participants were recruited in the study (5 males, 7 females; age: 24.1 ±2.1yrs; height: 175.5 ± 5.3 cm; mass: 70.3 ± 15.1 kg). The average of the 3 reach trials in each direction on each leg on both tests were calculated. Data was collected after 6 practice trials in each direction on both tests. Paired Samples t-tests were performed to compare the normalized reach distances between the SEBT and mSEBT. Normalized values were calculated as a percentage of mean reach distance to a participant's limb-length. RESULTS For the normalized reach distances, both sides of the PM and PL reach directions showed a statistically significant difference between the SEBT and mSEBT (p < .05). There was no statistical significant difference between the tests in the AN (right [p = .203]; left [p = .357]) reach directions. CONCLUSIONS Differences in reach distance performance were only found in both sides of the PM and PL directions between the SEBT and mSEBT. These findings may indicate that the unstable surface may lead to an increase in the difficulty of testing. Clinicians may consider to utilize the mSEBT to assess dynamic postural control in physically active young adult population. Further research is required with the use of physically active young adult population.
