Don Dengel, PhD, professor of kinesiology and director of the Laboratory of Integrative Human Physiology, is the author of the recent blog post, “Functional Movement Screen in National Football League Players.” The blog examines the relationship between the functional movement screen (FMS™), which is a noninvasive screening method developed to identify movement deficiencies in individuals using fundamental exercises and body composition determined using dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). The study included 227 National Football League (NFL) players, who were categorized into position groups (Linemen = offensive and defensive linemen; LB/TE/RB = linebackers, tight ends, and running backs; QB/PK = quarterbacks and placekickers, and WR/DB = wide receivers and defensive backs). A relationship between body mass index (BMI) as well as percent body fat and the FMS™ composite score was observed in these NFL players. This relationship was driven by those individuals that made up the Lineman position group (i.e., offensive lineman, defensive lineman). Dengel concluded that the lower score observed in the Lineman position group may be because these individuals are limited in performing the FMS™ specific tests due to their size.
