Impact of soft-surface mobility exercises on functional movement screen (FMS) scores among football referees
These findings indicate that unstable/compliant surface-based mobility training can improve movement quality indicators measured by the FMS. Incorporating such exercises into referee conditioning programs may contribute to more efficient movement patterns and enhanced dynamic stability, with potential implications for physical preparedness during match officiating.
