1. Identify the criteria and use for each part of the Functional Movement System ­ Functional Movement Screen, Selective Functional Movement Assessment, Y­Balance Test, and Fundamental Capacity Screen.
2. Explain the history and development of the Fundamental Capacity Screen(FCS).
3. Summarize the four elemental expressions of energy within movement capacity.
4. Explain the difference between movement dysfunction and movement deficiency.
5. Perform a Fundamental Capacity Screen.
6. Analyze screen results to correctly apply corrective and conditioning strategies.

Creating durable performers in sport, work and recreation is the ultimate goal for coaches, trainers and healthcare professionals. The Fundamental Capacity Screen Course will observe four fundamental forms of movement energy expression and discuss how these interact with each other and the individual’s environment to create the sustainable movement fitness and movement health we seek.

For nearly 20 years, Functional Movement Systems has been dedicated to creating a movement-based entry point for the exercise program design process—The Functional Movement Screen. The Fundamental Capacity Screen is a continuation of that systematic and logical approach: before we learn and acquire occupational, recreational or sport­specific skills, we express energy through elemental capacities that can, and should, be measured. In this workshop you will: explore Movement Control, Postural Control, Explosive Control and Impact Control, consider their vital importance within human development and reflect on the philosophy behind developing safe, body relative screens to measure them.

The FCS live course will include testing and overview. Both movement (FMS) and basic performance capacities (FCS) will be demonstrated and screened. This allows the attendee to both observe and participate in the screening process. Each station will introduce the participant to the actions and instructions necessary for safe and effective screening. This will provide real-life discussions of how screening scores directly impact exercise program decisions. First, we will explore movement dysfunctions (FMS) and corrective solutions. Second, we will explore movement capacities, fitness deficiencies (FCS) and conditioning solutions.
