Samenvatting

Background and Aim: Basketball poses one of the biggest injury threats in team sports. Authors have
been investigating several risk factors for injuries in athletic population such as previous injury,
musculoskeletal imbalance, and functional impairments. The FMS is a reliable screening instrument for
identifying faulty movement patterns and asymmetries in the athlete population. The aim of this
research was to find out the FMS scores of adolescent basketball players in Riga, compare them between
boys and girls, and find out if there is any correlation between previous injuries and the composite FMS
score.
Methods: A sample of 70 young basketball players between ages of 11-13, who had been playing
basketball for at least 3 years, training at a competitive level for at least 3 times a week, were recruited
from Ridzene basketball school in Riga, Latvia. All subjects were tested using the FMS and were scored
accordingly to guidelines. The chi-square, and cross tabulations were used for data analysis.
Results: Of 70 participants 39 were males, and 31 were females with previous injury rate of 64.1% and
90.3% respectively. Mean FMS composite score for all the subjects was 13.63. There was no significant
difference between FMS scores between male and female groups. 51.4% of all participants scored lower
or equal than 14 points on the FMS. Chi-square tests revealed low correlation between the composite
FMS score and past injuries with p value of 0.39.
Discussion: It has to be noted that the score of 14 on the FMS in adolescents may not mean that they are
more susceptible to injury, just that they are growing. Future research should focus on developing a cutoff
point for adolescent recreational and competitive athletes to recognize injury risk in these young
children. Also, a reliability study should be carried out to find out if FMS is a reliable instrument to use on
this age group. In future it would be beneficial to carry out a cohort study on the same participants
following their progress, differences, and finding other correlations.
Conclusion: The results of the study indicates that past injury and low FMS score do not show a
relationship in Latvian adolescent basketball players. There is no significant difference between
composite FMS scores between adolescent males and females demonstrating similar gender
performance as opposed to adult population.
