“…Thus the tests that contribute to the FMSstabil score may have the greatest potential of all the FMS tests to discriminate between footballers with and without hip/groin problems. Recently, Campa et al, (2019b) A limitation of the present findings is that they may only apply to the group examined, i.e. professional male adolescent football players.…”

Objectives: To assess the correlation between the functional movement screen (FMS) and Y balance test (Y-BT) performance, and the self-reported hip/groin problems, and to compare healthy with hip/groin pain participants. Design: a cross-sectional study. Setting: Sports hall in a football club. Participants: 43 elite adolescent football (soccer) players Main Outcome: The Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score (HAGOS), Anterior, posterolateral and posteromedial distance of Y-BT, FMS score. Measures: Y balance and FMS test kit, HAGOS questionnaire. Results: The posterolateral, posteromedial distance and composite reach score of the Y-BT were lower in participants with hip/groin problems (p<0.05). FMS performance was similar in healthy and hip/groin groups. There was a weak correlation (r=0.32, p=0.03) between the HAGOS Activities of Daily Living subscale and FMSstabil. In the Y-BT the posterolateral reach was weakly correlated with Symptoms (r=0.35-0.44, p<0.02) and moderately correlated with Pain (r=0.44, p<0.01) subscales. Posteromedial direction reach with the right leg was weakly correlated with Symptoms (r=0.32, p=0.04) and Pain (r=0.39, p=0.01). The Y-BT composite score was moderately correlated with Symptoms and Pain (r=0.42-0.44, p<0.01). Conclusions: The Y-BT and the FMS subtests were weakly or moderately correlated with selfreported hip/groin problems. Thus, these tests should be investigated further in adolescent footballers because they may have potential to predict hip and groin problems.

“…Attention should be paid to the fact that wrong movement patterns negatively affect the ability to perform fundamental movement patterns with precision and appropriate efficiency. They also increase the risk of injury [23]. High percentage of asymmetrical and dysfunctional movements can be corrected with specific interventions [20,23,39].…”

“…The key role in functional training is to achieve and maintain an optimal balance between mobility and stability while performing fundamental movement patterns with accuracy and efficiency [21,22]. Campa et al [23] suggested that a good correlation between strength of the muscles, stability, flexibility and motor control is decisive to achieve and support optimal sports performance. High body mass index (BMI) and high body fat are detrimental to efficient movement patterns [24].…”

The aim of the research was to verify the functional state of young football players using selected tests of the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) protocol, as well as the impact of the 12 weeks of functional training on the speed parameters. The research was conducted on 20 highly competitive young (U17) football players. Research project was conducted in two stages: in the first part of the study, the functional assessment was made by using the FMS test, then the measurement of the speed parameters was done with the Microgate photocells system. Results showed a significant improvement in the functional state of young football players: FMS 1 (45.2% of difference, p = 0.004), FMS 2 (24.3% of difference, p = 0.012), FMS 3 (48.5% of difference, p = 0.001). After the functional training program, there was also an improvement in the parameters of the acceleration and velocity: acceleration between 5-10 m and speed between 10-30 m shows significant improvement (expressed during covering a given distance) of the footballers, amounting to 0.02 s (2.4%) and 0.04 s (1.5%). But there was no improvement in acceleration between 0-5 m. An appropriate training schedule, based on FMS results, should be adopted in the annual training program to improve basic motor skills of the football players and minimize their injuries. software, A.S. and A.S.S.; validation, A.S., T.G. and A.S.S.; formal analysis, A.S. and A.S.S.; investigation, J.B., A.B. and A.S.; resources, J.B., A.B. and A.S.; data curation, A.S. and A.S.S.; writing-original draft preparation, J.B., A.B. and A.S.; writing-review and editing, A.S., T.G. and A.S.S.; visualization, A.S.; supervision, A.S.; project administration, A.S.; funding acquisition, A.S.

“…Analyzing and monitoring body composition (BC) is an important topic in sports because of its influence on health status and physical performance [1][2][3]. In fact, an elevated fat mass percentage (FM%) negatively influences the quality of functional movement patterns, reducing physical performance in athletes [4][5][6]. Conversely, wider muscle mass areas, particularly of the upper limb, maximizes power expression and the capacity to perform repeated sprints with changes in direction [7,8].…”

The aim of this study was to analyze the efficiency of classic and specific bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA) in the assessment of maturity related differences in body composition among male elite youth soccer players, and to provide bioelectrical impedance reference data for this category. A group of 178 players (aged 12.1 ± 1.6 years) were registered in a professional Italian soccer team participating in the first division (Serie A). They were divided into three groups according to their maturity status while bioelectrical resistance and reactance were obtained. The classic and specific BIVA procedures were applied, which correct bioelectrical values for body height and body geometry, respectively. Percentage of fat mass (FM%) and total body water (TBW (L)) were estimated from bioelectrical values. Age-specific z-scores of the predicted age at peak height velocity identified 29 players as earlier-, 126 as on time-, and 23 as later-maturing. TBW was higher (p < 0.01) in adolescents classified as “early” maturity status compared to the other two groups and classic BIVA confirmed these results. Conversely, no differences in FM% were found among the groups. Specific vector length showed a higher correlation (r = 0.748) with FM% compared with the classic approach (r = 0.493). Classic vector length showed a stronger association (r = −0.955) with TBW compared with specific (r = −0.263). Specific BIVA turns out to be accurate for the analysis of FM% in athletes, while classic BIVA shows to be a valid approach to evaluate TBW. An original data set of bioelectric impedance reference values of male elite youth soccer players was provided.
