        Objective: This study aims to examine the relationship between posture, Functional Movement Screen (FMS), and football skill tests in U18 amateur male football players, and to compare the posture and skill outcomes of athletes grouped according to FMS asymmetry status. Material and Methods: A total of 47 football players (mean age: 16.64±0.76 years) participated in the study. Posture was assessed using the PostureScreen 13.7 application. The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) and skill tests, including the Yeagley juggling test and the Loughborough Football Passing Test (LSPT), were administered to all athletes. Data were analyzed using SPSS 29.0; relationships were examined with the Pearson correlation test, and between-group differences were analyzed using the Independent Samples t-test (p≤0.05). Results: No significant relationship was found between FMS and skill tests (p>0.05). However, significant relationships were identified between certain posture and FMS parameters (p≤0.05). In the anterior view, head tilt, shoulder tilt, and total tilt values were positively correlated with the Yeagley juggling test (p≤0.05). When athletes were grouped according to functional asymmetry in FMS, a significant difference was found in the Yeagley test among those without asymmetry (p≤0.05), whereas no significant difference was observed in the LSPT (p>0.05). Conclusion: The findings indicate that posture analysis and FMS may contribute to strategic planning for improving athletic performance. The relationship between FMS and posture suggests that enhancing movement quality and posture may represent an intervention area for improving football performance.
        Amaç: Bu çalışmada, U18 amatör erkek futbolcularda postür, fonksiyonel hareket taraması [functional movement screen (FMS)] ve futbol beceri testleri arasındaki ilişki ile FMS asimetri durumuna göre gruplandırılan sporcuların duruş ve beceri sonuçlarının karşılaştırılması amaçlanmaktadır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırmaya yaş ortalaması 16,64±0,76 olan 47 futbolcu katılmıştır. Postür analizi, PostureScreen 13.7 uygulamasıyla değerlendirilmiştir. FMS ile beceri testlerinden Yeagley top sektirme testi ve Loughborough Futbol Pas Testi [Loughborough Football Passing Test (LSPT)] tüm sporculara uygulanmıştır. Veriler SPSS 29.0 ile analiz edilmiş; ilişkiler Pearson korelasyon testi ve gruplar arası farklar Bağımsız Ttesti ile incelenmiştir (p≤0,05). Bulgular: FMS ile beceri testleri arasında anlamlı ilişki bulunmamıştır (p>0,05). Ancak bazı postür ve FMS parametreleri arasında anlamlı ilişkiler bulunmuştur (p≤0,05). Önden görünümde baş tilti, omuz tilti ve toplam tilt değerleri ile Yeagley top sektirme testi arasında pozitif ilişki bulunmuştur (p≤0,05). Sporcular FMS'de işlevsel asimetriye göre gruplandığında, asimetrisi olmayanlarda Yeagley testinde anlamlı fark bulunmuş (p≤0,05), LSPT'de bulunmamıştır (p>0,05). Sonuç: Bulgular, postür analizi ve FMS'nin sportif performansın geliştirilmesinde stratejik planlamaya katkı sağlayabileceğini göstermektedir. FMS--postür ilişkisi ise hareket kalitesi ve postürün iyileştirilmesinin futbol performansı için müdahale alanı olabileceğini göstermektedir.
