You are invited to participate in a Doctoral study on Functional Movement Screening in Football.
As a Chartered Physiotherapist working in football your experience is crucial in order to further the research in this area. This study aims to develop a Functional Movement Screening Tool specifically designed for use in football.
The study has been broken down into two Phases. Phase 1 has already been completed. This involved a group of Physiotherapists selecting a battery of tests they felt should be included in a Screening Tool.
You are now being asked to participate in Phase 2 which aims to evaluate the tests that have been selected to be included in the tool. For further information please click here.
This phase requires the completion of an online questionnaire that should take no longer than 10 minutes. You will be asked to rank individual tests selected in Phase 1 to be included into a functional movement screening tool for football. If you are a Chartered Physiotherpaist working in football at any level other than the Premier League please click here to complete the questionnaire.
The study will be conducted by myself, Erin Morehead (MSc Sports Med; BSc (Hons) Physio), and supervised by Professor Jim Richards & Professor James Selfe of The University of Central Lancashire.
I have spent over six years working in professional sport, five of which have been in football at both club and national level.
All data collected, other than for direct communication purposes to each participant from myself, will remain anonymous throughout the study.
If there is more than one Physiotherapist working at your club, I would be grateful if you could please send me a contact email address for them, so I can invite them to participate in the study.
Alternatively please share this webpage with them.
No personal identifiable information will be collected on the questionnaire. Thank you for considering participation in the study. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to email me or call 01772 894562.
