Abstract The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between hamstring (H) muscle strength (peak muscle strength, average muscle strength and bilateral muscle strength differences between both legs) and Functional Movement Screening (FMS) test scores of professional football players. 14 professional male football players (age: 21.50±2.47) voluntarily participated in the study. Functional movement patterns of football players FMS test with the t kit, H muscle strength was determined with the H Board device. Spearman correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between participants' H muscle strength and FMS test scores. While it was determined that the FMS total score of the football players was above the critical limit of 14 points in determining the injury risk, no relationship was found between the FMS total scores and the H muscle strength (p>0.05). As a result, there was a significant correlation between the FMS subtests (deep squatting, obstacle stepping, single line lunge and active straight leg lifting) and total scores of professional football players and the peak muscle strength, mean muscle strength and bilateral muscle strength differences between both legs of the H muscle group. No relationship was found. In the estimation of injuries according to FMS test scores, it may be recommended to evaluate the hip, knee and ankle flexor and extensor muscle groups in addition to the H muscle group and look at the relationship between them.
