CHAPTER 1: MOVEMENT COMPETENCY SCREEN


OBJECTIVES:
1. Discuss the fundamental movement patterns; and
2. Demonstrate the fundamental movement patterns.

Introduction
• Movement competency is described as the ability to move free of dysfunction or pain.
• The responsibility of the strength and conditioning professional is to ensure that the training
prescribed enhances performance and does not contribute to injury. The best way to improve
movement, is to move.
• However, movement under a load greater than what the athlete’s movement competency can
support will force the athlete to compensate and over time compensation will negatively affect
health and performance.

• The fundamental movement patterns that are evident in activities of daily living and
strength training programs to varying degrees are;
o squat pattern
o lunge pattern
o upper body push pattern
o upper body pull pattern
o bend pattern
o twist pattern
o single leg squat pattern.
