Abstract
Aim: The purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation between functional movement screen and three main factors of physical fitness, agility, balance and endurance, body mass index and sleep quality in elementary school girls.
Methods:The statistical population of this study included 7-9 year-old girls of Sabzevar city, who were selected by cluster sampling. The research included about 125 female students in the second and third grades of elementary school. To evaluate the variables of the research, the functional movement screen test (FMS) was used to measure the movement pattern of the stork static balance test and the tandem (dynamic balance test), agility test (4*9 meters) and children sleep habits questionnaire(CSHQ). In order to determine the relationship between the FMS scores and the variables, spearman correlation test was used. The significance level in present study was less than 0.05 in the output of SPSS version 26.
Findings: FMS scores had a direct relationship with dynamic balance (+0.27) and endurance (+0.31), but had a negative relationship whit agility (-0.20) and (-0.18). Also, no relationship was found between FMS scores with static balance and sleep quality.
Conclusion: the current study showed that elementary school girls have movement limitations, on the other hand, there is a weak or no correlation between FMS scores and balance of physical fitness factors and sleep quality. Therefore, it
is recommended to conduct more studies in this field.
