Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The present study was designed to analyze the use of individual Functional Movement Screen (FMS) scores in predicting injury in Division III collegiate athletes. The individual FMS test scores used were deep squat, shoulder mobility, and active straight leg raise. Participants included male and female Division III collegiate soccer, football, field hockey, volleyball, and basketball players (N = 119) between the ages of 18 – 24. A binary logistic regression was conducted. The independent variables were deep squat, shoulder mobility, and active straight leg raise. The dependent variables were noncontact injury, type of injury, and location of injury. The three FMS test score predictor equations were not statistically significant (all p’s > 0.05) in predicting non-contact injury, chronic injury, acute injury, upper extremity injury, or lower extremity injury. Overall, the individual FMS scores had a correct prediction rate of 52.9% of noncontact injury. All other regression equations did not predict anyone to have sustained acute, chronic, lower extremity, or upper extremity injuries.
