Functional Movement Analysis of Handball Players

RELATIONSHIP OF FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT ANALYSIS WITH INJURY HISTORY AND ATHLETIC PARAMETERS IN HANDBALL ATHLETES

Abstract Objectives: Handball is a popular sport in many countries. There is lack of knowledge about handball athlete's functional movement capacity. The aim of this study is to investigate the Functional Movement Screen (FMS™) scores, to evaluate the injury risks of handball athletes and to determine its relationship with athletic performance.

Design: Observational study. Methods: A total of 51 professional handball players in Turkey were included in this study. The sport-specific features and demographic data were recorded. The functional movement analysis was performed and agility and balance and force were evaluated.

Primary outcomes

  1. Functional Movement Screen Assessment (FMS)

    Time frame: 20 minutes

    0-21 (It has 7 subtests, and minimum 0 and maximum 3 is given for scoring.) Higher scores are better. For bilateral subtests, scoring is performed for both sides, and scoring is given according to lower side. ( Example; Right 2, Left 1 so 1 point score is given for that parameter. At last, all 7 scores summed for total score(0/21).

Secondary outcomes

  1. Vertical Jump Test

    Time frame: 5 minutes

    Inches, Higher scores are better.

  2. Y Balance Test

    Time frame: 10 minutes

    Functional Reach Measurement, higher scores are better.

  3. Illinois Agility Test

    Time frame: 2 minutes

    Agility Measurement, Lower scores are better.
