Brief Summary

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.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Functional Movement Screen	Functional Movement Screen	Movement Analysis for injury risk
Vertical Jump Test	Functional Movement Screen	Jump test Height Measurement, Functional Movement Screen
Y Balance Test	Functional Movement Screen	Functional lower extremity reach with balance, Functional Movement Screen
Illinois Agility Test	Functional Movement Screen	Agility measurement, Functional Movement Screen

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Functional Movement Screen Assessment (FMS)	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 Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Illinois Agility Test	2 minutes	Agility Measurement, Lower scores are better.
Vertical Jump Test	5 minutes	Inches, Higher scores are better.
Y Balance Test	10 minutes	Functional Reach Measurement, higher scores are better.
