FMS COMPREHENSIVE TEST BANK
COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND VERIFIED
SOLUTIONS
●● a functional assessment such as the FMS should be incorporated into
pre-participation screening in order to determine what?
Answer: whether the athlete has the essential movements needed to
participate in sports activities with a decreased risk of injury
●● in the traditional sports medicine model, pre-participation physicals
are followed by?
Answer: performance assessments
this systematic process doesn't seem to provide enough baseline
information when assessing an individual's preparedness for activity
●● the medical pre-participation or rehabilitation examination includes
only information that will ______ an individual from participating in
certain activities
Answer: exclude
●● commonly recommended performance tests include? (5)
Answer: - sit-ups
,- push-ups
- endurance runs
- sprints
- agility activities
performance tests function to gather baseline quantitative information
and then attempt to make recommendations and establish goals
●● what is the main goal in performing pre-participation or performance
screenings?
Answer: decrease injuries, enhance performance, and ultimately improve
quality of life
currently, the research is inconsistent on whether the pre-participation or
performance screenings and standardized fitness measures have the
ability to achieve this main goal
●● true or false: a reason for the lack of predictive value of screenings is
that the standardized screenings do not provide individualized,
fundamental analysis of an individual's movements
Answer: true
●● the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is one evaluation tool that
attempts to assess the?
, Answer: fundamental movement patterns of an individual
the tests place the individual in extreme positions where weaknesses and
imbalances become noticeable if appropriate stability and mobility is not
utilized
●● true or false: it has been observed that many individuals who
perform at very high levels during activities are unable to perform FMS
movements
Answer: true
these individuals should be considered to be utilizing compensatory
movement patterns during their activities - continued compensation can
lead to micro- or macro-traumatic injury
●● the FMS tests were created based on what fundamental principles?
Answer: proprioceptive and kinesthetic awareness
each test is a specific movement, which requires appropriate function of
the body's kinetic linking system
●● the kinetic link model, used to analyze movement, depicts the body
as a linked system of interdependent segments - these segments often
work in what sequence?
