Aplicación de Test FMS en atletas de judo entre 10 y 14 años en etapa de aprendizaje en la Federación Deportiva del Guayas entre mayo-septiembre 2024.

Abstract

udo, like any contact sport, entails certain risks that are important to know in order to prevent them. Over time, these movements generate the presence of body misalignments that can trigger future injuries. For this reason, the objective was to determine the effectiveness of the application of the FMS test in judo athletes aged 10 and 14 years in the learning stage who attend the Guayas Federation between July and September 2024. The methodology was a quantitative approach of descriptive level, under a non-experimental design, as well as transactional, field. The study population was the highperformance athletes who attend the Guayas Federation between the months of July-September 2024. The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) was applied as an instrument. The results showed that in the SUB-15 and SUB-13 judo pre-selection groups, there is a male predominance (64.29% and 73.33%) and a high concentration in low weight ranges (53.37% and 66.67%, respectively). This suggests the need for health and nutrition care for proper development. Functional assessment using the FMS Test shows that SUB-15 patients have more deficiencies in the execution of movements, indicating that their movement patterns become less efficient with age. Coaches are advised to improve technique and mobility to prevent injuries. A preventive physiotherapy treatment plan adapted to individual needs, including mobility, strengthening, flexibility and monitoring, has been designed in order to minimise injuries and optimise judo performance.
