Abstract

Introduction: Ideal functional performance requires the fundamental and basic performance skills that usually such skill in children with abnormal body mass index is more limited. The aim of this study was to compare the functional movement screening scores of students with different body mass indexes.
Materials and Methods: 100 school children aged 7-10 years were selected and were divided in to three groups based on their body mass index. Functional performance was measured using the functional movement screening tests (including 7 tests: squats, step Hurdle, Lunge, shoulder mobility, straight leg raise, swimming trunk stability and rotational stability).
Results: Results showed that there are between groups differences in test scores (Deep squat (P=0.041), Hurdle step (P=0.040), Lunge (P=0.040), Shoulder mobility (P=0.020), straight leg raise (P=0.031), Trunk stability Push-up (P=0.037), Rotary stability (P=0.026) and sum (P=0.004)). According to Tukey Post-hoc test results, there is a significant difference between scores of the second and third groups in terms of functional movement screen scores (composite score) (P=0.002) but there was no significant difference between the first group and the second group (P=0.079) and between the first group third group (P=0.105).
Conclusions: The result of this study showed that there are significant association between body mass indexes with functional movement screening scores. On this basis, these children’s requires more care from their parents for improvement of own performance and prevention of incoming injury.
