Introduction: During the sport of soccer there is a high incidence of sports injuries, especially non-contact injuries. Some factors that could predispose the appearance of these lesions are related to poor performance of movement patterns. However, this relationship is not completely clear. Objective: to determine the association between the movement pattern measured by the Functional Movement Screen-FMS Test with the history of injuries and other intrinsic and extrinsic variables in youth soccer players. Methodology: an analytical cross-sectional study was carried out in a sample of 42 athletes, with an average age of 17 years in the youth category. After the authorization of the ethics committee of the Universidad del Rosario and the signing of the informed consent of the athletes, each player performed the FMS test and through a questionnaire, information related to the sports injuries suffered from 2017 to 2020 was collected. performed the ROC curve to determine the cut-off point of the total score of the FMS test that identifies the athletes who are at greater risk of injury, as well as of each test that constitutes it. The relationship between having a history of a sports injury and the total FMS score was estimated, as with each individual test. A multivariate logistic regression was performed that includes the variables studied. Results: it was evidenced that an athlete with a history of a sports injury is five times more likely to perform the FMS squat test poorly compared to a player without a history of injury. On the other hand, no relationship was found between the variables of history of injury, area of injury, days of sports absence, hours of training with having a low score on the FMS movement screen. Conclusion: the movement pattern evaluated by the FMS test must be analyzed individually in each test. It is important to detect whether an athlete who does not perform the deep squat correctly may be due to a sports injury. Studies are required to explore the relationship between the execution of movement patterns and the risk of sports injuries using another study methodology.
