Abstract
Objective. Work specificity of uniformed services is characterized by a significant risk of injuries that may cause resignation from military service and results in significant social and economic costs. Many injuries can be prevented if abnormal movement patterns are noticed and corrected at the right time.
The objective of the study was to assess the quality of movement patterns and determine the risk of injuries to the musculoskeletal system among young soldiers and firefighters using the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) test.
Material and methods. Sixty men aged 19-30 (average: 26.5 years) participated in the pilot study, including 30 soldiers (S) and 30 firefighters (F).
Results: In 5 out of 7 FMS tests, F obtained better results compared to S, however statistically significant differences were observed only in: deep squat test (F: 2.67 points vs S: 2.32 points; p = 0.020) and in-line lunge test (F: 2.87 points vs S: 2.42 points; p = 0.000). In addition, F obtained a statistically better final result of the FMS test (F: 17.50 points vs.
S: 16.97 points; p = 0.046). In both groups, the lowest results were obtained in the rotary stability test (F: 2.13 points;
S: 2.10 points) and the active straight leg raise test (F: 2.20 points; S: 2.00 points) .
Conclusions. The final FMS result in the groups F and S was in the upper limit of the middle range of scores (14-17 points), estimating the risk of injuries at the level of 25-35% and indicating the need for remedial procedures. FMS can be a useful tool in assessing the risk of injury to the musculoskeletal system in the case of employees of uniformed services and be part of their prevention.

Abstract
Functional Movement Screening is one of the tests which allow you to find the existing risk of injury. The aim of the work was to assess the state of functional movement possibilities of female floorball players with the use of the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) test and to assess the possibility of improving the result with the use of a set of corrective exercises. The research covered a group of 50 fit young women aged 16-24, training floorball in the category of senior juniors and seniors (mean age 18.2). To evaluate the movement patterns, Functional Movement Screen (FMS) was used. The assessment with the FMS test consisted of seven functional movement tests. The average score obtained by the athletes in the FMS test before the correction was 14.6 points (SD = 1.5), after the correction 16.3 points (SD = 1.4). Female floorball players, based on the FMS test, present a good level of basic mobility with the risk classification of 25-35%. Introducing correction according to the FMS test after just 2 months improves the functional efficiency of the female floorball players.
