Association between motor competence and Functional Movement Screen scores.

ABSTRACT: Background:Motor competence (MC) is generally used to describe a person's proficiency in a variety of motor skills and is the basis for one's performance in sports and recreational activities. Functional Movement Screen (FMSTM) is one of the most used screening systems to provide interpretable measure of movement quality. Both FMSTM and MC constructs share three components: locomotor, manipulative and stabilizing movements. In the present study, it was hypothesized that MC scores can explain FMSTM variables. It was also predicted that better MC leads to better functional movement patterns in young adults. Methods:A sample of 92 young adults (73.9% men) with a mean age of 21.2 years participated in this study. All participants were evaluated on anthropometric measurements, dual x-ray absorptiometry; FMSTM and MC. Results:Men showed better MC scores and fat mass composition than women. Regarding specific tests, women scored higher in the FMSTMactive straight leg raise test, whereas men performed better in the FMSTM trunk stability push-up (TSP) test. Manipulative tasks and construct presents' significant and positive associations with FMSTM composite score (r ? 0.303). The significant negative correlation were more related to FMSTM TSP and MC shuttle run and FMSTM in-line lunge and MC manipulative. The FMSTM TSP presents significant associations with all MC constructs and tasks. Meanwhile, the FMSTM composite score is associated with all components of MC Stability (p < 0.05). In young adults, and independent of gender, the FMSTMexplains fundamental movements based on motor control according to the stability construct. Moreover, the FMSTM TSP is associated with better performance in the all MC constructs and MC tasks. The FMSTM, on its own, is linked to objective MC stability measures.

Project description:Background The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) and the Y Balance Test (Y-BT) are screening tools to detect movement deficits and to identify footballers at high risk of injury. If these tools are able to identify athletes with high risk of injury, they should measure the same construct and also be highly correlated. Objectives The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between the FMS and Y-BT in youth footballers. The present study also aimed to assess the degree of association between the FMS and Y-BT considering high-injury-risk (FMS <= 14 points and Y-BT <= 89.6%) and low-injury-risk groups (FMS > 14 points and Y-BT > 89.6%). Method A sample of 226 healthy athletes (mean age: 14.0 ± 2.3 years) was selected from a football club. The FMS and Y-BT data were collected from all participants. The Y-BT raw data were normalised to the relative length of the lower limbs. Spearman’s correlation was used in the analysis. Results For the whole group, there was a moderate correlation (R = 0.41; p < 0.001) between the composite FMS score and composite Y-BT score. The strength of relationships varied from weak to moderate between the FMS subtests and most Y-BT results for each direction. In the high-injury-risk group, there was no correlation (R = 0.11; p = 0.61) between the composite FMS score and composite Y-BT score. For the low-injury-risk group, there was a weak significant correlation (R = 0.27; p < 0.007) between the composite FMS score and composite Y-BT score. Additionally, 56 and 53 athletes were classified to the high-injury-risk group based on the FMS and Y-BT, respectively. Only 23 athletes were classified to the high-risk group by both tests. Conclusions Youth footballers showed only weak to moderate correlations between the FMS and the Y-BT. Footballers classified in the high-injury-risk group based on the FMS and Y-BT presented a different relationship between the FMS and Y-BT tasks compared to the low-injury-risk group. The results confirmed that the FMS and Y-BT should not be used interchangeably as they assess different movement deficits in the group of youth football players. The study results may partially suggest that using one of these screening tools cannot successfully predict injury risk in adolescent football players. This justifies the need to use these tests simultaneously to identify possible neuromuscular control deficits in youth footballers.

Project description:DNA microarray-based genome-wide transcriptional profiling and gene network analyses were used to characterize the molecular underpinnings of the frontal neocortical organization in rhesus macaque, with particular focus on the differences in the functional annotation of genes in the primary motor cortex and the prefrontal association cortex. Biofunctional analysis of the differentially expressed genes showed that the list of genes selectively expressed in the primary motor cortex were enriched with genes involved in development, oligodendrocyte function, and increased energy consumption, whereas the list of genes selectively expressed in the prefrontal association cortex were enriched with genes involved in cell morphology and calcium dynamics. These functional differences in selectively expressed genes may reflect the fundamental molecular structure of each cortex. Brain tissue was obtained from 4 adolescent rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) aged between 2.6 and 2.7 years that had been bred in group cages without being subjected to any experimental treatment. Adequate measures were taken to minimize pain and discomfort, in accordance with the National Institute of Health Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (NIH Publication No. 80M-bM-^@M-^S23). The monkeys were perfused with 500M-bM-^@M-^S1000 ml of ice-cold saline containing heparin sodium (1000 U/ml, Novo Heparin; Leo Pharmaceutical Products, Ballerup, Denmark) through the ascending aorta within 15 min of an overdose injection of pentobarbital sodium (50 mg/kg, i.p., Somnopentyl; Kyoritsu Shoji, Tokyo, Japan). The 2 neocortical areas (M1 and A46) were identified by sulcal landmarks. We used the forelimb region of M1 for the present analysis, which is located around the superior genu of the central sulcus. A46 was obtained from both the upper and lower banks of the principal sulcus. Each area from the left hemispheres was dissected on crushed ice and immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen.
