Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association of FMS and YBT composite scores with injury in elite female fast-pitch softball athletes. Thirty-eight participants completed pre-season FMS and YBT assessments. Injury data were collected on the next day of finishing the season. FMS composite scores were significantly lower for the injured group (13.5 ± 2.4) comparison to the non-injured group 16.9 ± 1.6) (p ≤ .001, d = 1.67). Injured status was associated with lower FMS scores (r = .61; p <.001). No differences existed in YBT-UQ (p =.67, d = .14) and YBT-LQ (p =.16, d =.50) composite score between the injured (UQ = 96.0 ± 5.9, LQ = 96.7 ± 8.2) and the non-injure (UQ = 97.1 ± 1.6, LQ = 101.0 ± 9.1) groups; no significant associations were found between injury status and YBT-UQ composite scores (r = -.08; p = .64) or YBT-LQ composite scores (r = -.24; p = .14). Preseason FMS composite score was associated with subsequent injury.
