Soccer demands high physical and technical performance, and movement assessment is essential to optimize performance and prevent injuries. The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) allows the detection of biomechanical deficiencies in youth soccer players. The objective of this study is to identify factors associated with the quality of functional movement in sub 15 and sub 17 soccer players. A descriptive, observational, and correlational study was conducted with a sample of 66 male soccer players aged 14 to 17, using the FMS battery to assess movement quality and a survey to gather demographic and sports data. Results indicate that the majority of participants (71.2%) fall within the "Alert" category regarding movement quality, with no significant differences among the aforementioned categories (p = 0.649). Similarly, training frequency does not affect the FMS score (p = 0.520). Positive correlations were observed between functional tests and the FMS score, being strongest in the inline lunge (r = 0.565, p < 0.001) and trunk stability (r = 0.585, p < 0.001). However, variables such as age and competitive category did not show a significant influence on movement quality. The data highlight the need to improve movement quality and training planning, focusing on correcting motor deficiencies to optimize performance and prevent injuries. An integrated approach prioritizing stability and mobility, regardless of competitive category, should be emphasized. This holistic training approach maximizes performance and reduces injury risk for athletes.
