Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare the differences in functional movement screen (FMS) between professional and amateur futsal players. In this study, seventeen professional futsal players and seventeen amateur futsal players participated. All Futsal Players performed the FMS, which is composed of 7 functional movement tasks (deep squat, hurdle step, inline lunge, shoulder mobility, active straight-leg raise, trunk stability push-up, and rotary stability). The data were examined using the mean, standard deviation, and Chi-square. For all tests, the 0.05 level of significance was used.


            The result showed that the FMS score of professional futsal players was higher (p<0.05) than those of amateur futsal players. In conclusion, The FMS score could be used to differentiate performance between professional and amateur futsal players. The findings of this study will assist coaches and athletes in developing customized training programs for enhancing physical performance in futsal players.
