Introduction: Football is a dynamic, ever-growing team sport. It’s fast action and spectacular character give this sport the title of the most popular in the world. However, due to its specificity it is related with a high risk of injury. An important element of injury prevention is comprehensive functional assessment of the player. The Functional Movement Screen Test is used as a tool to assess the risk of injury and basic movement patterns to determine the occurrence of disorders within the musculoskeletal system.
Objective: The aim of the study is to compare the level of functional performance of football players who have stability exercises in their daily training sessions and of the players without such training.
Material and methods: The study was conducted in Rzeszow and the surrounding area on a group of 120 players. The functional assessment was performed using FMS test.
Results: In the study group of players high level of functionality was observed. However, in the control group a series of tests showed an asymmetry and irregularities in the basic movement patterns.
Conclusions: The study gave answers to the research questions.
