Abstract :
Background: Investigating and understanding the relationship and correlation between functional movement screening (FMS) and anthropometric characteristics play a significant role in predicting and preventing injury. This study investigated the relationship between FMS and anthropometric characteristics in the Iranian national team's teenage volleyball players.Methods: 22 elite youth volleyball players who were members of the national adolescent volleyball team of the Islamic Republic of Iran participated in this research. Also, two demographic characteristics and FMS were examined. The Pearson correlation test was used to investigate the relationship between the demographic variables and the FMS score.Result: There was a significant positive relationship between "in-line lunge with upper limb balance, shoulder mobility with active straight leg raise, fat mass index with fat ratio to SM, Body Mass Index (BMI), Total Body Fat (TBF%), Visceral Fat Index (VFI), fat-free mass with fat-free mass index. Bone Mineral Content (BMC), Basal Metabolic Ratio (BMR), the ratio of fat to SM with TBF% and VFI" and “weight with BMI, BMC, and BMR, and BMI with VFI, BMR, and Upper Limb Balance" and "TBF% with VFI" and "BMC with BMR" and "TBW% with SM%" and "body balance with TBW%, SM%, and Upper Limb Balance”. Conclusion: Based on the analysis of the obtained results, it can be suggested that FMS test results and anthropometric indices can be useful in the initial assessment and prediction of people's susceptibility to functional-motor injuries. Also, athletes' functional movement patterns and body composition are different according to their sport and position. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the positive points of the athlete's performance in his specialized sports field and functional movement disorders in young people, which may help to reduce injuries and improve sports performance.
