Bawang Adviser: Andy Li-An Ho, PhD Abstract Functional movement screening is a relatively new system used in identifying athletes with a high risk of incurring sports injuries. By screening movement patterns, the FMS readily identifies functional limitations and asymmetries. The study aimed to determine if FMS composite score can be increased and asymmetry among athletes can be reduced when corrective exercise program is utilized. The participants were 33 soccer players of Benguet State University. The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test was used to test the significance of the increase in the FMS composite score while the McNemar test was utilized for the reduction of asymmetry. The level of significance was set at α = .05. The results revealed that FMS composite score of the athletes in the exercise group increased significantly and the asymmetry reduced significantly as well. It is then concluded that FMS composite scores can be increased and that asymmetry among athletes can be reduced with the use of corrective exercise programs.
