Abstract: Objective To explore the effect of applying functional movement screen (FMS) in the sport injury risk assessment of Chinese rugby athletes.Methods Rrugby athletes of Chinese national and provincial teams were selected and their data were collected using the standard FMS test.Their non-impact injury of the lower limbs and trunk were tracked and recorded.FMS diagnostic value and diagnostic cut-off value were evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) and odds ratio (OR).Results The area under curve of all,male and female rugby athletes was 0.780 (P=0.000),0.877 (P=0.001) and 0.7130 (P=0.013) respectively,with significant differences from AUC=0.5.FMS score optimal cut-off point of all,male and female rugby athletes corresponding to the maxi mum Youden index was 13.5,15.5 and 13.5 respectively.Among all,male and female rugby athletes,the injury rates of the positive group (with FMS score less than the corresponding optimal cutoff point) were significantly higher than that of the negative group (with FMS total score greater than a corresponding cut-off point)(P＜0.01),and OR value of the positive group was 25.85 (95％CI:3.34～200.23),25 (95％CI:2.36～264.80) and 14.22 (95％CI:1.76～114.92) respectively.Conclusion In China,the average FMS score of rugby athletes had a strong correlation with non-contact sport injury,which might become an assessment index of non-contact sport injury risks.There is a significant difference in FMS score optimal cut-off points between the male and female rugby athletes,with that of the female being 13.5 points and the male being 15.5 points.
