Therefore, the purpose of this study is determine the effect of yoga exercises on the scores of functional movements screening test in females of roller skater teenage.
Methodology: In this study, 24 volunteers were selected and placed randomly in two experimental (mean ± standard deviation: 11.1 ± 1.4 years, height 133 ± 13.1 cm, weight 34.9 ± 9.9 kg) and control group (mean ± standard deviation: 11.3 ± 1.6 years, height 141.9 ± 10.4 cm, weight 35.2 ± 5.9 Kg). Screening of functional movements were performed before and after the implementation of the yoga exercises protocol (8 weeks, 3 sessions, and 60 minutes each session) in order to measure the risk of injury. Independent t-test and dependent t-test were used to analyze the data. For qualitative data, Wilcoxon and U-Mann-Whitney tests were used at significant level of (P <0.05).
Results: There was a significant difference in the results of all tests in the comparison of pre-test and post-test.
