Daunoravičienė.; Lithuanian University of Health Sciences; Faculty of Nursing, Institute of sport. Kaunas, 2016: 63 pages. The aim: Identify functional movements, trunk muscles endurance and balance links of young age people engaged and not engaged in sports. Objectives: 1. To evaluate functional movements performance between young age people engaged and not engaged in sports. 2. To evaluate trunk muscle endurance between young age people engaged and not engaged in sports. 3. To evaluate balance between young age people engaged and not engaged in sports. 4. To evaluate links between functional movements, trunk muscle endurance and balance. Research methods: functional movement was evaluated using functional movement screening (angl. FMS). Trunk muscle endurance was evaluated using: Kraus-Weber, ITO, side bridge tests. Balance was evaluated using flamingo test. In this study participated 288 person from them 131 engaged in sports (19,06±0,5 m) and 157 not engaged in sports (19,1±0,69 m).
