Abstract : A soccer team has an average of 52 injures per season. There is a need of knowing the factors that predispose the player to suffer an injury during the season. One of the most used tools to measure the injury risk is the Functional Movement Screen (FMS).

Introducción
A soccer team has an average of 52 injures per season. There is a need of knowing the factors that predispose the player to suffer an injury during the season. One of the most used tools to measure the injury risk is the Functional Movement Screen (FMS).
Objectivo
The objective of this systematic review is to evaluate the evidence of FMS as a predictive value of injury in football players.
Study design
Systematic review.
Databases used
PubMed, ScienceDirect, Cochrane and Google Scholar. Search strategy: Keywords FMS / Functional Movement Screen AND Football in Title / Abstract. 5 articles were included according to the inclusion / exclusion criteria.
Results
Analyzing the results of the FMS, none of the five articles included founded statistically significant differences between injured and non-injured players. The FMS score as a predictive value for injuries was not a reliable tool.
Currently, there is no evidence that supports the use of FMS as a predictor of injury in football players.
