Bu çalışmanın amacı, genç erkek basketbolcularda Fonksiyonel Hareket Tarama (FMS) toplam ve alt test puanları ile alt ekstremite denge asimetrisi arasındaki ilişkileri ve bu puanların asimetriyi yordama düzeyini incelemektir. Kesitsel ve ilişkisel tarama modelinde tasarlanan araştırmaya, yaş ortalaması 18,90 ± 1,21 yıl ve spor yaşı ortalaması 7,83 ± 1,77 yıl olan 52 gönüllü lisanslı erkek basketbolcu katılmıştır. Fonksiyonel hareketler yedi alt testten oluşan FMS ile değerlendirilmiştir. Alt testler 0–3 arasında puanlanmış ve toplam puan 21 puan üzerinden değerlendirilmiştir. Dinamik denge, anterior, posteromedial ve posterolateral uzanma yönlerini içeren Y-Denge Testi (YBT) ile ölçülmüştür. Her iki alt ekstremiteden elde edilen uzanma mesafeleri kullanılarak taraflara ait bileşik puanlar hesaplanmış ve denge asimetri yüzdesi analiz edilmiştir. Verilerin analizinde betimsel istatistikler, Pearson korelasyon analizi ve çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. FMS toplam puanı ile asimetri yüzdesi (r = −0,059), dominant bileşik puan (r = −0,031) ve non-dominant bileşik puan (r = −0,013) arasında anlamlı ilişki bulunmamıştır (p > 0,05). Asimetri yüzdesi ile dominant bileşik puan arasında çok güçlü pozitif ilişki saptanmıştır (r = 0,921; p < 0,01). FMS toplam ve alt test puanlarını içeren regresyon modeli genel olarak anlamlı değildir (R² = 0,256; düzeltilmiş R² = 0,117; p = 0,094). Modelde gövde stabilitesi şınavının (TSPU) katsayısı negatif (β = −0,399; p = 0,015), omuz mobilitesinin (SM) katsayısı ise pozitif yönde anlamlı bulunmuştur (β = 0,342; p = 0,049). Diğer alt testlerin ve toplam puanın katsayıları anlamlı değildir (p > 0,05). Sonuç olarak, FMS toplam puanı bu örneklemde denge asimetrisiyle anlamlı bir ilişki göstermemiştir. Bulgular, basketbolcuların değerlendirilmesinde yalnızca toplam FMS puanına odaklanılmaması gerektiğini; alt test sonuçlarının ve taraflara özgü dinamik denge ölçümlerinin birlikte ele alınması gerektiğini göstermektedir.

Abstract

The relationship between the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) total and individual test scores and the asymmetry of balance of the lower extremities, as well as the predictive effect on young male basketball players, was analysed in this study. This was a cross-sectional correlational study that consisted of 52 licensed male basketball players volunteering for the study at the age of 18.90 ± 1.21 years and having a sport experience of 7.83 ± 1.77 years. The assessment of functional movement was carried out through the seven FMS tests. These tests were individually scored in range of 0 to 3 points with a maximal total of 21 points. Reach distances for both lower extremities were used to calculate limb-specific composite scores, and balance asymmetry percentage was analyzed. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression were used. FMS total score was not significantly correlated with asymmetry percentage (r = −0.059), dominant composite score (r = −0.031), or non-dominant composite score (r = −0.013; all p > 0.05). Asymmetry percentage showed a very strong positive correlation with dominant composite score (r = 0.921; p < 0.01). The regression model including FMS total and individual test scores was not statistically significant overall (R² = 0.256; adjusted R² = 0.117; p = 0.094). Within this model, trunk stability push-up (TSPU) had a significant negative coefficient (β = −0.399; p = 0.015), whereas shoulder mobility (SM) had a significant positive coefficient (β = 0.342; p = 0.049). Coefficients for the other tests and total score were not significant (p > 0.05). In conclusion, FMS total score was not significantly associated with balance asymmetry in this sample. The findings suggest that basketball player assessments should not focus exclusively on the FMS total score; individual test results and limb-specific dynamic balance measurements should be considered together.
