    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This study establishes the first normative values for the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) in active adults, finding no significant differences between sexes or injury history. The FMS demonstrates excellent reliability for injury risk screening.

    Area of Science:

    • Sports Medicine
    • Kinesiology
    • Movement Science

    Background:

    • The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is a widely used tool to assess fundamental movement patterns and identify potential injury risks.
    • Despite its global application, normative data for the FMS has been lacking, hindering precise interpretation of scores.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To establish normative values for the FMS in a population of active, healthy individuals aged 18-40.
    • To examine performance differences based on sex and previous injury history.
    • To determine the inter-rater reliability of the FMS in real-time assessments.

    Main Methods:

    • Recruited 209 physically active adults (108 females, 101 males) with no recent musculoskeletal injury.
    • Administered the standardized FMS protocol to all participants.
    • Assessed inter-rater reliability using a subset of participants (28%) and established scoring criteria.

    Main Results:

    • The mean composite FMS score was 15.7 (95% CI: 15.4-15.9) out of a possible 21.
    • No significant differences in FMS scores were found between males and females or between individuals with and without a prior injury history.
    • Excellent inter-rater reliability was demonstrated for the composite score (ICC=0.971) and substantial to excellent agreement for individual components (Kappa=0.70-1.0).

    Conclusions:

    • This study provides the first reference values for the FMS in young, active individuals.
    • These normative data will aid in interpreting FMS scores for musculoskeletal injury screening and performance evaluation.
    • The FMS is a reliable tool for assessing movement quality in this population.
