Purpose: Functional disorders are one of the factors that increase the risk of injury. One of the goals of sports science is to prevent injuries, which can be achieved by screening functional movements. But so far, this screening is unknown in young boys who are basketball players. Therefore, the main goal of this research was to screen the functional movements in young basketball players of the Islamshahr team in order to prevent sports injuries.

A screening test for functional movements was used, which included: deep squat, hurdle step, lunges, shoulder mobility, active leg raising, trunk stability swimming, and trunk rotational stability. After collecting the data, he analyzed the mean and standard deviation through descriptive statistics and investigated the relationship between the performance level of the subjects (good, average and bad) and the type of performance test at a significance level of 0.01 through inferential statistics. became.
Results: In the present study, 4 out of 30 basketball players (13.33%) scored less than 14. The most defects were reported in the movement patterns of deep squats, lunges, obstacle crossing and stable trunk swimming and rotational stability, respectively.
Conclusion: Considering the benefits of functional movement screening in detecting weak points and improving a person's functional potential, it can be concluded that these methods are the best option for evaluating the performance of athletes and non-athletes, according to which preventive measures can be adopted.
