What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Functional Movement Screen (FMS) - for Stability
Time Frame: 8 weeks
The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is a standardized screening tool developed to assess fundamental movement patterns, mobility, motor control, and core stability. It comprises seven movement tasks: deep squat, hurdle step, in-line lunge, shoulder mobility, active straight-leg raise, trunk stability push-up, and rotary stability
8 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Illinois Agility Test (IAT) - for Agility
Time Frame: 8 weeks
The Illinois Agility Test (IAT) is a field-based test designed to assess an athlete's speed, agility, and ability to change direction rapidly.
8 weeks
Y-Balance Test (YBT) - for Dynamic Balance
Time Frame: 8 weeks
The Y-Balance Test (YBT) is a performance-based test used to assess dynamic balance and postural control. It requires the athlete to stand on one leg while reaching in three directions-anterior, posteromedial, and posterolateral-with the opposite leg.
8 weeks
