Background: One of the important factors in injury prevention and performance improvement is the rapid detection of asymmetries, defects in movement, and instability, as these lead to changes in movement patterns in the closed-kinetic chain and eventual injury. The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) tests are designed to identify individuals with compensatory movement patterns in a closed-kinetic chain. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of virtual and face-to-face corrective exercises on male students' functional movement screening scores. Methods: Sixty male students of Qom Technical and Vocational University (mean ±SD; age: 20.31 ± 4.2 years, height: 1.78 ± 06 cm, weight: 76.63 ± 16.06 kg) were voluntarily divided into two groups: virtual class (n = 32) and face-to-face class (n = 28). First, seven FMS tests were evaluated, and then both groups performed corrective exercises for 6 weeks in virtual or face-to-face methods. Kolmogorov-Smirnov, U-Man-Whitney, and Wilcoxon tests in SPSS 27 software were used to analyze the data. Results: In both groups, there was a significant difference between the total score of the FMS, before and after the test (P < 0.01). While there was no significant difference between the post-test scores of the two groups (P > 0.05), In examining the differences between groups, there was a difference between the two groups only in the post-test of the deep squat (P < 0.01) (indicating further improvement of the deep squat in the presence group). Also, despite the improvement in all tests in the face-to-face group, the virtual group did not achieve significant improvement in shoulder mobility or active straight leg raising (P> 0.05). Conclusions: According to the results of this study, it seems that corrective exercises and FMS tests can be used in a virtual way to prevent injuries to students. |
