THE BIGGEST TEAMS USE IT:
How it Works
Functional Movement Screen / FMS Level 1
The core focus of the Functional Movement Screen is to set a movement baseline in order to assist in your ability to create more effective training and programming decisions.
The Functional Movement Screen emphasizes movement quality over quantity, and identifying movement dysfunctions or limitations. Given the widespread acceptance that the human body is complex in nature and functions as a system, it is necessary to use movement patterns as a whole. The individual evaluation of the joints, for the malfunction determination it cannot reflect the complexity of the human body.
FMS is a workable assessment system that should be used to determine and design an appropriate exercise program for each exerciser.
FMS Level 1 begins with an understanding of why movement assessment is important and how it can be an essential tool for planning exercise programs
To achieve the above, the training material provides information about the risk of injury to individuals they present asymmetries, malfunctions or pain. Also, reference is made to historical data related to movement and physical education, as well as evidence that proves the decrease in movement in the last century.
The FMS evaluation system consists of 7 protocols where their rating (3,2,1 and 0) is based on specific performance criteria. The core focus of the Functional Movement Screen is to set a movement baseline in order to assist in your ability to create more effective training and programming decisions.
This screening tool and approach has been effectively utilized in a variety of training settings from traditional fitness to elite professional sports.
