Purpose. The aim of this study was to evaluate the musculoskeletal state of junior level sport games players and to analyse the relationships between fundamental movement patterns, the jumping height and anthropometrie. Methods. Forty five Under 18 (U-18) (age = 16.27 +/-1.72 (SD); height = 183.21 ± 6.62 cm; body mass = 73.92 ± 10.17 kg) years old male junior sport game players (handball, basketball, volleyball) voluntarily participated in this study. All participants were evaluated according to FMS (100 point scale), anthropometrie and jump performance (height of Squat and Countermoverment jump) Kistler forth plates. Spearman and Pearson correlations were carried out to identify whether a relationship existed between FMS scores, anthropometrie and the height of Squat and Countermoverment jump. One-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test was used to identify the presence of a normal distribution. All statistical analysis was computed using the IBM SPSS Statistics (version 23.0). Results. The statistically significant (p <0.05) moderate correlations were found between height of both jumps and FMS score (SJ, r = 0.329; CMJ, r = 0.306), whereas the sub-tests show a reliable correlation between the Deep Squat (DS) score and CMJ height (r = 0.299). A higher height of both jumps was also associated with a lower body fat percentage (SJ, r = -0.345; CMJ, r = -0.342). Conclusion. The basis of the findings we can conclude that the higher fundamental musculoskeletal state and lower body fat percentage allow for better jump height performance.
