Abstract
BackgroundThe quest for a reliable and effective method to identify athletes at risk of injury holds the promise of significantly reducing injury rates and improving overall athletic performance. This research delved into the relationship between the Functional Movement Screen (FMS), Y-Balance Test (YBT), and Hop tests (Side hop, Medial triple hop, and Lateral step-down hop), aiming to determine the potential in predicting injuries of hop tests among division 1 volleyball and basketball players.MethodsThis research was conducted with fifty-two participants from the Division 1 league, encompassing both volleyball and basketball players. The study rigorously employed the Functional Movement Screen (FMS), the Y-Balance Test (YBT), and various hop tests (side hop test, medial triple hop test, lateral step-down hop) to measure relevant variables. The data analysis used logistic regression, ensuring a comprehensive approach to the study.ResultsResults showed no significant relationship between FMS and Hop test for predicting injuries, but there was a relationship between ΔY and side hop that shows side hop test can predict injury, but there was no relationship between Lateral step down, Medial triple hop, and ΔY.ConclusionsBased on our findings, side hop, despite the medial triple hop and lateral step-down test, can be used as a sports injury predictor.
