Summary:碩士 === 高雄醫學大學 === 運動醫學系碩士在職專班 === 106 === Surfing becomes a popular sport in Taiwan during recent years. Surfing is a sport which requires upper and lower limb power strength, lower-limb dynamic stability, body coordination, muscular endurance and muscle power. These abilities may be assessed using Functional Movement Screen (FMS), and the assessment results may be used for future training purposes. The purposes of this study were to compare and analyze the scores of FMS and Y-Balance Test (YBT) between year of surfing experiences, in order to realize the difference of functional movements and lower-limb dynamic balance between experienced and novice groups. The participants for this study were 40 surf athletes, aging between 20 and 45, in southern Taiwan. The participants were grouped based on their lengths of surfing. The experienced group contained 18 participants with equal to or more than 5 year of surfing experiences. The novice group contained 22 participants with fewer than 5 year of surfing experiences. There were 24 males and 16 females. FMS and YBT were administered to all participants. Two-way analysis of variance (Two-way ANOVA) was used to analyze the difference on functional movements and lower-limb dynamic balance between year of surfing experiences and genders. The results showed there was no significant interaction between year of surfing experiences and genders. However, main effect analysis on year of experiences was significant difference on Trunk Stability Push-up (TSP). There was no significant difference in the scores of Deep Squat (DS), Hurdle Step (HS), In-line Lunge (ILL), Shoulder Mobility (SM), Active Straight Leg Raise (ASLR), and Rotary Stability (RS) between lengths of surfing. There was a significant difference in the scores for TSP and SM of FMS, and no significant difference in the scores of DS, HS, ILL, ASLR, and RS between genders. There was no significant difference in the total score of FMS, neither between genders and nor between lengths of surfing. No significant difference in the scores of left or right YBTs, neither between genders nor between lengths of surfing.
