A functional movement screen profile of an Australian state police force: a retrospective cohort study.

Results Significantly higher ( U = 253863, p < .001) FMS total scores were found for recruits (mean 15.23 ± SD 2.01 points) when compared to attested officers (14.57 ± 2.96 points) and differences in FMS total scores also approached significance for females (15.24 ± 2.35 points) when compared to males (14.84 ± 2.55 points, U = 186926, p = .007), with age found to be a key, significant factor in explaining these observed differences (F (1,1507) = 23.519, p < .001).

The recruits also outperformed the officers in torso stability (trunk stability push-up, p = .002) and this difference approached, but did not reach statistical significance.
