Research on the Application of Functional Movement Screening in the Risk of Sports Injury Among Adolescent Taekwondo Athletes
Objective:To explore the application of Functional Movement Screening(FMS)in the risk of sports injuries among children's Taekwondo athletes.Methods:Forty-four Taekwondo students were selected and randomly divided into experimental and control groups,with 22 participants in each group.Following a 6-week summer training program,the experimental group underwent functional movement training based on the results of the FMS,while the control group received conventional Taekwondo training.Finally,two groups of students were tested for Taekwondo-specific movements and FMS.Results:After the 6-week intervention,the experimental group showed significant improvements in both Taekwondo-specific performance tests and FMS tests compared to the control group(P<0.05).In the performance tests,the experimental group exhibited significantly higher levels in one-minute continuous horizontal kicks,one-minute continuous downward strikes,and one-minute double flying kicks compared to the control group.In the FMS assessments,the experimental group demonstrated superior performance in overhead deep squats,active straight leg raises,straight-line lunge squats,hurdle step,trunk stability push-ups,and rotary stability tests compared to the control group.Conclusion:Functional movement training significantly enhances the Taekwondo-specific performance and physical fitness of children's Taekwondo athletes,thereby reducing the risk of sports injuries.Integrating functional movement training into the regimen can improve athletes'movement skills and physical abilities,providing better support for their health and competitive performance.
