Volleyball, Functional Movement Screening, Corrective ExercisesAbstract
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of corrective exercises applied to volleyball players on functional movement screening (FMS) test scores. Twelve male athletes between the ages of 15-17, who play for the Silifke İdman Yurdu Volleyball team and regularly attend volleyball training, participated in the study voluntarily. Participants were administered a corrective exercise program before volleyball training, 3 days a week, 30 minutes a day, for 8 weeks. FMS test scores of all athletes were determined by a physiotherapist before and after the training program. SPSS 18 statistical package program was used to evaluate the data obtained from the study, and the significance level was accepted as 0.05. The Wilcoxon test was used to test the significance of the difference between the athletes' FMS pre-test and post-test. As a result of the analyses, only the increases in shoulder mobility, rotation stability, and total FMS values were found to be statistically significant (p<0.05). Statistically non-significant increases were found in the post-test values for the deep squat, hurdle step, and active straight leg raise compared to the pre-test values. In conclusion, it can be said that eight weeks of corrective exercises, in addition to regular volleyball training, positively affected volleyball players' FMS test scores.
