Özet
Objective of the Study: In football, one of the branches with a large audience in the world, it is thought that ever-increasing performance, the strengthening of competition and the desire to succeed as well as technicaltactical, psychological, and psychological needs and the improvement of physical and physiological characteristics at the most appropriate level will contribute positively to the performance of football players. Especially in football competitions, high-intensity actions may cause athletes to spend higher effort. Many qualities of football players should be improved to perform these actions at the most appropriate level and to protect them from injuries. For this purpose, the aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between FMS (Functional Movement Screen) scores and isokinetic lower body strength of football players. Method: The correlational survey model was preferred as the research model of the study. The sample group consisted of a total of 28 volunteer football players competing at the level of amateur league. The maximum strength of the knee extensor and flexor muscles of the participants was measured using an isokinetic dynamometer device (Cybex NORM®, Humac, CA, USA) that allows to record instantaneous isokinetic torque. The FMS test was applied to assess mobilisation and stabilisation of football players. SPSS 25.0 software was used for statistical analysis of the data and Spearman’s correlation analysis was used to compare the relationship between isokinetic lower body strength and FMS scores. Findings: When the FMS scores and right and left knee flexion/extension degrees were analysed, no statistically significant correlation was found between the parameters. Conclusion: The results of the statistical analysis revealed no correlation between FMS scores and right-left knee flexion and extension parameters of the amateur football players. Accordingly, it is suggested to include FMS applications in the training programmes of the football players and contribute to their performance by minimising their injuries and providing neuromuscular coordination and thus to make contribution to the related literature and to guide future studies. © 2023, Editura Universitatii din Pitesti.
