Abstract
The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is a tool used to assess movement patterns and identify potential injury risk.

The results showed that the FMS was not an effective predictor of future injury in this population. However, there were some correlations between FMS scores and rate of injury, as well as differences between male and female athletes
