Comparison of the Effectiveness of Virtual and Face-to-face Corrective Exercises on Functional Movement Screening Scores of Male Students

One of the important factors in injury prevention and performance improvement is the rapid detection of asymmetries, defects in motion, and stability, as these lead to changes in movement patterns (formation of a compensatory movement pattern) in the closed movement chain and eventual injury (۱). The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is a tool used to identify asymmetries which result in functional movement deficiencies. The FMS aims to identify imbalances in mobility and stability during seven fundamental movement patterns. These movement patterns are designed to provide observable performance of basic locomotor, manipulative and stabilising movements by placing an individual in extreme positions where weaknesses and imbalances become noticeable if appropriate mobility and motor control is not utilised. Once these deficiencies have been identified through the FMS, a program of corrective exercises is then developed with the goal of preventing musculoskeletal injuries (۲) . Some research has shown that Tele-Exercises can be a good alternative to field exercise training programs (۳). Therefore, the aim of this study was to Comparison of the effectiveness of Virtual and Face-to-face Corrective Exercises on Functional Movement Screening Scores of Male Students.Sixty male students of Qom Technical and Vocational University (age: ۲۰.۳۱±۴.۲ height: ۱.۷۸±۰۶ weight: ۷۶.۶۳±۱۶.۰۶) were voluntarily divided into two groups: virtual class (۳۲ people) and face-to-face class (۲۸ people). First, seven FMS tests were evaluated, then both groups performed corrective exercises for ۶ weeks in virtual or face-to-face methods. Kolmogorov-Smirnov, U-Man-Whitney and Wilcoxon tests in SPSS۲۷ software were used to analyze the data.In both groups, there was a significant difference between the total score of FMS, before and after the test (p <۰.۰۰۱). While there was no significant difference between the post-test scores of the two groups (p> ۰.۰۵).According to the results of this study, it seems that functional movement screening (FMS) tests and corrective exercises can be used as part of the virtual physical education classes of universities.
