In any given test during the FMS, this will give you a score of 0.

What is pain?

100

The brain and spinal cord make up this portion of the Nervous System

What is the Central Nervous System (CNS)?

100

This muscle group is located on the anterior thigh and is primarily responsible for extending the knee.

What is the quadriceps?

100

This term describes how hard you feel you are working.

What is rate of perceived exertion? (RPE)

100

The study of mechanical laws relating to the movement of living organisms.

What is Biomechanics?
200

During the Deep Squat, the client needed their heels propped on the 2x4 to perform the squat correctly. There score is this.

What is 2?

200

The process of acquiring and refining new motor skills through practice and experience.

Motor Development

200

This is an injury to ligaments.

What is a sprain?

200

Use it or lose it

What is Reversibility? 

200

In this class of lever, the fulcrum is on the end, the load is in the middle, and the force is applied on the other end. An example in the body is the ankle during calf raises.

What is a second class lever?

300

This test requires the client to step with their feet in a line, tibial length apart, while holding the dowel behind their back.

What is the inline lunge?
300

The first stage of Motor Learning, often associated with thinking through each action and multiple mistakes.

What is the Cognitive Stage?

300

This system is responsible for sending and receiving signals, which can cause muscles to contract and produce movement.

What is the Nervous System?

300

This is the principle that states the body must be challenged beyond its normal level to improve fitness.

What is overload?

300

This biomechanical term describes movement away from the midline of the body.

What is Abduction

400

Your client is unable to do the Deep Squat test even with accommodations, but there is no pain. This is your score:

What is a 1?

400

Balance Training stimulates these.`

What are propioceptors?

400

This system of the body delivers oxygen and nutrients to working muscles during exercise.

What is the cardiovascular system?

400

This type of training involves short bursts of high-intensity activity followed by rest or low-intensity periods.

What is Interval Training?

400

Part of the gait cycle: Foot off the ground, moving forward (40% of cycle)

What is the Swing phase?

500
This score or higher is what is considered a decreased risk for injury according to FMS.

What is 14.

500

This theory is responsible for explaining how multiple systems work together to produce movement.

What is the Dynamic Systems Theory?

500

The thick and thin filaments of a myofibril. These are the basis for the sliding filament theory.

What are actin and Myosin?

500

A systematic process to identify performance gaps and training requirements

What is a Needs Analysis?

500

The plant and twist mechanism causes valgus stress at the knee along with external rotation of the lower leg/internal rotation of the hip. These are combined mechanisms for this injury.

What is an ACL tear?
