Injury, a prevalent issue in Division I collegiate sports, can have negative mental and physical implications. It is thought that certain modifiable biomechanical factors such as muscle imbalance, alterations in posture, flexibility, and movement dysfunction can increase an athlete's risk of injury. It is imperative to implement a protocol that monitors athletes' functional capabilities and improves movement patterns upon identifying dysfunction to not only reduce the risk of injury, but also to promote and maintain high performance standards. This project studied the effect of a corrective exercise regimen on Functional Movement Screen (FMS) and range of motion (ROM) scores of the Arizona State University baseball team.
