The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between Functional Movement Screening (FMS) test scores and athletic performances of professional football players. Twenty professional male football players participated in the study voluntarily. Functional movement patterns of the players were determined by FMS test kit and athletic performances were determined by Yoyo test, T drill test, vertical and horizontal jump test, 10 m and 20 m speed test. Spearman Correlation Analysis was used to determine the relationship between FMS test scores and athletic performances of football players. As a result of the study, no statistically significant relationship was found between FMS test scores and athletic performances of football players (p<0.05). In addition, the FMS test total score of the players (14.2 points) was found to be above the limit of injury (14 points). In conclusion, although FMS test scores provide important information about the quality of functional movements and the likelihood of injury, it is not a determinant of athletic performance. This may be due to the combination of several motoric characteristics of athletic performance, although FMS test scores are assessed individually.
