Rugby injury breakthrough? simple screen may predict player risk
NCT ID NCT06715618
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether the Functional Movement Screen™ (FMS™) can predict injuries in amateur rugby players. Twenty healthy adult players from Normandy were tested at the start and end of the season, and their injuries were tracked. The goal was to see if a low FMS™ score correlates with more injuries, which could help coaches and trainers prevent harm.
