Abstract
Background: Nowadays CrossFit is among the most popular emerging sports (1). This sport is a combination of various techniques such as what we see on calisthenics, powerlifting, weight lifting and aerobic exercises (2). Due to the nature of CrossFit, which requires performing high-intensity level of movements which includes high repetitions in specified time intervals with minimal resting and recovery time, the possibility of injuries caused by overwork and early fatigue is high (3). FMS is a test that can be used to detect internal risk factors for the possibility of injury in various sports fields (4).
Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to compare the mean FMS score in CrossFit's athletes with and without scapular asymmetry.
Methodology: 60 male CrossFit athletes with one year experienced were divided into two groups with 23 people with asymmetry and 37 people without asymmetry. In order to consider the scapula asymmetry, the distance of the upper and lower angle of the scapular to the spine was measured. the FMS test was done as well. SPSS version 26 was used for statistical analysis. The U Mann-Whitney test was used in accordance to Klomogoroff-Smirnov test report of abnormality.
Results: The results of the Mann-Whitney U test showed that there was no significant difference between the mean scores of the two groups at a significance level of less than 0.05. However, the average FMS score of people with shoulder asymmetry was 16.91, which was lower than the score of the FMS test of people without shoulder asymmetry, which was 17.45.
Conclusion: The present of scapula asymmetry can limit the range of motion of the shoulder girdle (5).Regarding to engaging some FMS test score index are effective by flexibility and function in the upper limb, therefore, the presence of asymmetry may have an effect on the score of this test in people with and without asymmetry.
