Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Injury risc assessment

    The Functional Movement Screening Test will be used to assess injury risc in athletes. Seven exercises are used in this test. Each movement is scored on a scale from 0 to 3, with a maximum total score of 21. As the score from this test increases, the risk of injury decreases.

    through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Cough Strength Measurement

    through study completion, an average of 1 year

  • measurement of abdominal muscle strength

    through study completion, an average of 1 year

  • Functional Performance Assessment

    through study completion, an average of 1 year

  • Balance evaluation

    through study completion, an average of 1 year
