Abstract

Athletes who are at risk of injury should be screened prior to the competition season. As a team activity, three-person basketball requires careful attention to injury concerns. This study investigates the prediction efficacy of the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) test for sports injuries in three-person basketball players. The multivariate logistic regression model revealed a high correlation between damage and the FMS functional screening assessment. Descriptive statistics, correlation coefficient analysis, ANOVA test analysis, and chi square analysis between functional movement screening and injury prevention and athletic performance were among the results produced by the research study, which was based on primary data analysis and measured using SPSS software. Significantly decreased risk of injury was linked to higher FMS functional screening exam scores. Overall, the results demonstrate that functional movement screening has a direct and substantial influence on both athletic performance and injury prevention. According to the results, athletes who are more likely to suffer injuries in team-neighborhood and championship sports may be identified using the FMS test. It is recommended that coaches and players use FMS assessments in local sports, such as three-person in competitive sports, to predict and develop more specialized sports injury prevention programs.

Keywords: Functional Movement Screening (FMS), Injury Prevention (IP), Athletic Performance (AP), Competitive Sports (CS).
