A

to compare cross-sectional FMS scores across four hockey age groups and five stages of maturity, in male, adolescent ice hockey players

Q

What were the hypotheses for this experiment

A

-FMS total score will increase with an increase in chronological age and maturity of all athletes screened
-There will be no significant differences in frequencies of left/right asymmetries or frequencies of 1,2,3 across the four hockey age groups or across the five stages of maturity
-maturity will contribute to the prediction of FMS TS beyond chronological age
-there will be an increase in frequencies of left/right asymmetries across years of elite hockey participation

Q

What was the experimental study design

A

-cross-sectional data was collected during the competitive hockey season following scheduled practice time
-a letter of introduction, consent forms and a hockey experience questionnaire were emailed to all participants in advance
-physical assessments included: anthropometric measures (height, sitting height, weight, a measure of grip strength, measure of flexibility) and then FMS

Q

Methodology for strength assessment

A

-grip strength protocol development by fess &m moran
-measurements were preformed 3x with a 15 second rest between maximum reps
-the highest score will be used for the purpose of analysis

Q

Methodology for Flexibility Assessment

A

-standardized sit and reach protocol developed by well and Dillon
-measurements were preformed 2x with a 15 second rest between reps
-The highest score will be used for the purpose of this analysis

21
Q

Methodology of the FMS

A

-participants were briefed on the purpose and procedures of preforming the seven FMS
-a demonstration of each movement was provided to ensure the subjects understood the movement pattern
-participants were given 3 attempts to complete the movement to the best of their ability and the highest score was recorded
- For consistency during data collection, all administrators were trained in the FMS

22
Q

Statistical Analysis

A

-one-way ANOVA’s were used to investigate the differences in grip strength and sit and reach independently across groups
-Bonferroni post-hoc tests were used to determine where the significant differences were located
-relative strength and sit and reach scores were used to determine the relationship between strength, flexibility and FMS TS
-multiple partial correlation coefficient were calculated to identify relationships between FMS TS, years of hockey experience and years of AAA hockey with age as the covariate
-An independent t-test was conducted to determine if there was a significant difference in FMS TS, when playing another competitive sport or not
- A chi-square test for association was conducted to determined significant differences in frequencies of left/right asymmetries across the four hockey age groups or across the five stages of maturity

23
Q

In what ways were the FMS movements analyzed

A
  1. FMS total score
  2. FMSmove, FMSflex, FMSstab
    -FMSmove tests: deep squat, hurdle step and inline lunge
    -FMSflex tests: shoulder mobility and active straight leg raise
    -FMSstab tests: trunk stability push-up and rotary stability
  3. Multiple regression analuses were used to predict FMS TS as a function of age, maturity, relative strength and flexibility
  4. Frequencies of individual movement scores
    -All participants were injury free, therefore no participants scored a 0
24
Q

Results

A

-FMS TS increased with age and maturity
-Sit in reach generally increased with age and maturity
-Increase in FMS TS with age is a result of an increase in FMSmove and FMSstab
-Increase in FMS TS with maturity is a result of FMSstab
- Age, flexibility and maturity were seen to significantly correlated with FMS TS
-Flexibility had the highest correlation coefficient (scored higher on 4 out of 7 FMS)
-physical maturity does not contribute to FMS TS beyond chronological age

25
Trunk stability results
Majority of Atoms not able to complete movement (41), majority of midgets able to complete perfect repetition - When TSPU is removed, no differences across age groups or maturity
26
Frequencies of asymmetries
In-line lunge: 35.5% in bantam hurdle step: 28% and 26.7% in peewee and atom -also see significance in early maturity stages
27
Discussion of study
-FMS total score increase with chronological age -no significant differences were found in left and right asymmetries across the four hockey age groups and five stages of maturity -no significant correlation were found between frequencies of asymmetries and years of playing hockey -younger participants did not have the required upper body strength to preform TSPU properly -Maturity did not have an added effect on FMS TS beyond age -age, maturity and flexibility were significantly correlated to FMS TS -Flexibility is the strongest predictor of FMS TS
28
practical application
-Results provided insight into the application and interpretation of FMS scores in an athletic adolescent population -Suggest that normal growth and development is a strong determinant of movement efficiency, meaning that older and more physically mature adolescents typically score higher -the unilateral nature of ice hockey did not result in any association between asymmetries and years of participation
