Özet
Background: This study investigated the effects of body composition and lifestyle habits on functional movement capacity in inactive overweight men. Methods: A crosssectional study was conducted with 112 men (age = 30 +/- 11 years; BMI = 25.82 +/- 4.79 kg/m2). Participants completed a lifestyle habits questionnaire. Anthropometric measurements, including height, weight, muscle mass, and body fat percentage, were recorded. Functional Movement Screen (FMS) tests assessed functional movement capacity. Stepwise multiple linear regression analyzed the predictors of FMS scores, and lifestyle habits were compared. Results: Body fat percentage accounted for 24% of the variance in FMS scores (F(1-110) = 21.378, p < 0.001), with a coefficient of -0.159, indicating a negative association. Participants without chronic diseases had significantly higher FMS scores compared to those with chronic diseases (% change = 12.14; p = 0.037). Other lifestyle habit parameters showed no significant differences. Conclusions: Higher body fat percentages negatively influence functional movement capacity. Participants without chronic diseases exhibited better functional movement scores, emphasizing the positive role of general health on movement quality. Strategies focusing on reducing body fat and improving overall health may enhance functional movement capacity in this population.
