Abstract:
It is very important that pupils have appropriate level of basic movement
patterns in order to deal with motor tasks properly. Proper movement patterns
can be affected by overweight, obesity, physical inactivity, injury or
clinical pathologies. The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is one of the
most popular injury risk and movement proficiency assessment tools. This
tool is composed of 7 movement tests that rely on mobility, stability and balance.
There are a number of well-designed interventions that enhance motor
skills, motor control, stability, and mobility and usually they are prescribed
as individualized programs. However, since this problem is widespread it
might be more effective if it is addressed within the school setting on a larger
scale. FMS is reliable, affordable and practical tool that could be an answer to
many functional movement deficiencies that plague our children and youth.
Implementing FMS program instead of the traditional dynamic warm-up in
preparation for physical education class might be an effective solution for
improving movement imbalances in primary school pupils. Furthermore,
data collected from a large number of schools may be a base for establishing
National database for children and youth functional movement proficiency
standards.
