Relationship between functional movement screen and athletic performance

Functional Movement Screen (FMS) has been a hot topic for some time now.  Many use FMS to screen their athletes to find functional deficits and movement impairments.  There have been studies, both refuting and in favor of, the correlation between injuries and FMS scores.  However, there haven't been many studies between FMS and the correlation to athletic performance.  This study, published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning, evaluated and compared the relationship between FMS and the standard 1RM to athletic performance.  Although a small sample size (25 college golfers), this study begins to serve as one way to determine the effectiveness of FMS as a performance indicator.
