Background. Insufficient movement patterns may expose athletes to injury, so it is vital to recognize and rectify
these movement patterns. Objectives. The purpose of this study was to assess the fundamental movement patterns
and determine the effect of a four-week FIFA+11 program on functional movement screen (FMS) scores of junior
soccer players. Methods. A pre-test post-test quasi-experimental design with an intervention and control group was
chosen for the present study. The sample consisted of 28 players at the Rasht education system soccer academy. The
players first completed the FMS tasks and then were randomly divided into intervention (n=14) and control (n=14)
groups. The intervention group then participated in FIFA+11 for four weeks (three times a week) while control group
followed their ordinary warm-up program during this period. After four weeks, both groups completed the FMS
tasks and the pre-test and post-test results were compared. Results. The results indicated a significant difference in
FMS scores in the intervention group between baseline and post-intervention scores (p = 0.001). No significant
difference was found in these scores for the control group (p = 0.082). It is showed a significant difference in FMS
scores between the intervention and control groups after intervention (p = 0.001). A 57% increase was observed in
the number of intervention group players who achieved a score above the injury threshold (14) after four weeks of
intervention. A 36% decrease in asymmetry was also observed in the intervention group. Conclusion. It appears that
the FIFA+11 program improved the fundamental movement patterns of the junior soccer players. It is suggested that
coaches use FIFA+11 to improve the quality of movement of players and encourage them to exercise using correct
movement patterns to avert injury.

The purpose of this study was to assess the fundamental movement patterns and determine the effect of a four-week FIFA+11 program on functional movement screen (FMS) scores of junior soccer players.
Nevertheless, the effect of FIFA +11 as a comprehensive warm-up program on FMS test results for assessing the quality of fundamental movement patterns and identifying inefficient movements in individuals has not yet been investigated.
The present study evaluated the movement quality of junior soccer players using the FMS test and determined the effect of the four-week FIFA +11 program on improving FMS scores.
Paired t-test results of control and intervention groups before and after implementation of FIFA+11 in FMS Variable FMS total score * significant at p<0.
The exercises and movements in FIFA +11 resulted in significant improvement of movement quality in the intervention group in comparison with the control group, who followed the normal warm-up program.
Having realized that FMS test can identify movement inefficiency, implementing a program like FIFA +11 which has been shown to prevent injury, improve the physiological variables required in soccer and improve individual movement quality, appears necessary.
APPLICABLE REMARKS Soccer coaches can implement FIFA+11 as a comprehensive warm-up to decrease injuries and to improve movement quality of players by allowing them to exercise more efficiently."
