Abstract
One of the serious challenges in sports is injury prediction methods that can help in preventing and reducing the amount of injury. In this regard, various tests, such as the Y Balance Test, Landing Error Scoring System, and Functional Movement Screening Test, have been employed to assess different aspects.Therefore, the purpose of this research is to investigate the extent of predicting sports injuries of female student athletes with functional movement screening, Y balance and landing error scoring system tests. This study was a prospective cohort study. The population of the current research was university female athletes, and the research sample was 124 female student athletes participating in the 15th Iranian Student Sports Olympiad who were evaluated in an available manner. The Y balance test, landing error scoring system, and functional movement screening test were taken from the subjects before the Olympiad, and the injuries of the athletes during the competitions were recorded by the data collection form. In order to statistically analyze the data, the logistic regression test and Pearson correlation coefficient were used. The results of the research showed that a total of 26 injuries were registered during the competition in 124 subjects. Most of the injuries were of the contact type and also the most number of injuries were related to the bones of the soles of the feet. None of the predictor variables had the ability to predict the criterion variable (p>0.05). In general conclusion In conclusion, based on the results of this research, it is not possible to predict general injury using functional tests, including the Y Balance Test, Landing Error Scoring System, and Functional Movement Screening Test.
