Analysis of the Relationship between FMS, YBT-L, FCS, and Performance-related Physical Fitness in College Soccer Players

The purpose of this study is to analysis the relationship between Functional Movement Scree﹙FMS﹚, Y-Balance Test-Lower﹙YBT-L﹚, Fundamental Capacity Screen﹙FCS﹚, and performance-related physical fitness in college soccer players﹙n=47﹚. For this purpose, FMS﹙7 items﹚, YBT-L﹙3 items﹚, FCS﹙8 items﹚, and performance-related physical fitness﹙4 items﹚were measured. Collected data were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient and muliple linear regression using SPSS 26.0 version. The statistical significance level was set at 0.05﹙p<.05﹚. The analysis results are as follows. FMS, YBT-L, and FCS showed positive correlations in long kick and shooting speed. And negative correlations in sprint and shark skill test. In particular, among FMS, the stability part showed the highest importance. Additionally, FCS and FMS were found to have major effects on performance related physical fitness. In this study, we were able to identify functional movement factors that must be supported to improve soccer players’ performance. It is exepcted that it can be sued as useful basic data for experts training soccer players in the field.
