Relations between functional movement screen and standing long jump in children

The aim of this study was to determine the possible correlation between FMS (functional movement screen) test and the test Standing long jump, in children age 8-10. The total sample of children, 40 of them (20 boys and 20 girls) underwent the test, all training in a karate school on average 2.4 years. FMS was evaluated through the Deep Squat test through videotaped material ; while the jump was estimated through the Standing long jump (SLJ) test, the results used were means of all three attempts. Three independent judges estimated the FMS Deep Squat test through four variables on a scale of 0-2. Regarding the values of Cronbach’s alpha coefficient (0, 98) we conclude that FMS as instrument is reliable, also with the high Cronbach alpha coefficient values (0, 90) we conclude that the SLJ test is reliable for children age 8-10. The correlation test analysis of these two variables has shown low correlation between variables (r=0, 36). The authors assume that more tests should be added evaluating the explosive leg power in a jump, which would in turn give better and more relevant output, and improvement of technique should be estimate.
