Which assessment includes the movements: active straight leg raise, deep squat, hurdle step, in line lunge, rotational stability, shoulder mobility, and trunk stability push-up?

• A. Sit and Reach
• B. Sprint Test
• C. Skinfold
• D. Functional Movement Screen

Answer: (D)

The main idea is a movement-quality screening using a standardized set of fundamental patterns. The seven movements listed—active straight leg raise, deep squat, hurdle step, in-line lunge, rotational stability, shoulder mobility, and trunk stability push-up—are the exact tasks included in the Functional Movement Screen. This screen is designed to identify limitations and asymmetries in how a person moves, which can help guide corrective exercises to reduce injury risk and improve performance.

For example, the active straight leg raise checks hip flexor length, hamstring flexibility, and ankle mobility; the deep squat examines coordinated mobility across the ankles, knees, hips, and spine; the hurdle step and in-line lunge assess how the body maintains alignment and stability during multi-joint actions; rotational stability looks at core-hip-shoulder coordination; shoulder mobility tests the shoulder girdle and thoracic spine; and the trunk stability push-up measures core stability during an upper-body pushing movement.

Other options don’t fit because they measure different things: Sit and Reach is a single flexibility test focusing on hamstrings and lower back; Sprint Test assesses speed; Skinfold tests body fat. Only the Functional Movement Screen includes all seven movements together, making it the correct choice.
