Abstract

Objective: To assess the quality of movement by applying the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) to teenagers aged 12 to 17, whether or not they practice Acrobatic Gymnastics (AG). Methods: Descriptive, comparative and cross-sectional study in which 41 teenagers (20 AG practitioners and 21 non-practitioners) participated. The FMS battery was used, consisting of seven tests: deep squat, fence step, line lunge, shoulder mobility, active straight leg lift, trunk stability in bending, trunk rotation stability. Results: a statistically significant positive relationship was observed through Spearman's R statistic, between the overall FMS score and the AG practice (p= .023). Gymnasts presented better quality of movement than non-gymnastics practitioners, with statistically significant differences, scoring better in practically all tests. Conclusion: a relationship between AG practice and a higher FMS score is corroborated.
