Abstract

Purpose:
Physical activity improves health and functional abilities in daily activities and reduces injuries. One of the important factors in injury prevention and performance improvement is quick detction of asymmetries, defects in movement and stability; these cases lead to a change in the movement pattern and eventually damage. The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of eight weeks of Barre au sol training on women's function movement screening test scores.
Methods:
The samples of the present semi-experimental research include 30 women with an age range of 30 to 50 years, who were selected randomly and paired based on the scores of the Functional Movement Screening Test (FMS) and divided into two groups: Barre au sol and control. FMS tests were measured by FMS kit, before and after the intervention. Barre au sol groups performed their exercises for eight weeks, three sessions per week and each session for 45 to 60 minutes. Data analysis was performed using repeated measures analysis of variance and Bonferroni post hoc test and Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests at a five percent error level and using SPSS software version 26.
Results:
The results showed that the score of Inline lunge movements (p=0.046), Active straight leg raise(p=0.025), Hurdle step (p=0.046)and Rotary stability (p=0.025)and FMS total scores (p< 0.001) has increased significantly after Barre au sol exercises. In addition, the effect of these exercises was significantly higher than the control group (p=0.003). The effect size of the experimental group was (η2 =0.161, p = 0.047, F = (1,23) 4.422).
Conclusion:
According to the findings of this research and the significant impact of Barre au sol on improving women's performance, it can be suggested to experts, coaches and sports therapists to use Barre au sol exercises in addition to other training protocols to prevent and reduce injuries. On the other hand, the subjects' FMS scores did not exceed 14 and there is still a risk of injury. For this reason, it is suggested that these variables be investigated in future research with a prospective research plan with different age ranges.
