Do Functional Movement Screens Predict Body Composition Changes after Resistance Training?

ABSTRACT: Although the function movement screen (FMS) has been widely used in the general population, no study to date has used the FMS as a preparticipation screen for individuals with breast cancer (BC) engaging in an exercise regimen. Even though individuals with BC are anthropometrically similar to individuals without cancer, the lack of studies assessing the FMS in individuals with BC may potentially hinder exercise prescription. Therefore, we aim to examine the relationships of the FMS score to anthropometric biomarkers in individuals with BC before undergoing an exercise regimen. One-hundred and twelve women with BC underwent a thrice-weekly three-month dose-escalated exercise regimen utilizing multi-joint compound movements and linear progression balanced with resistance training volume to e
