Abstract

The O'Neill Movement Analysis is a comprehensive assessment of the athlete based off the findings of the joint-by-joint approach. The main goal of the OMA is to assess the stability and mobility of certain joints throughout the body starting from the ankles going up. This analysis will involve a scoring system for each joint/exercise and directives and training protocols for those who are at risk or do not pass the movement screening. The scoring system will allow me to determine which athletes pass the movement screening, those who do not pass but are not far off, and those who are at risk and have poor functionality. Once an athlete is assessed, program directives will be provided to guide your program to either improve in the weak areas or build upon their strengths. Creating an all-encompassing system that focuses on the anatomy and functionality of the athlete sets the benchmark for all athletes to stay healthy and be successful in their respective sport.
