Which of the following is NOT a test component of the Functional Movement Screen?

• A. Deep Squat
• B. Hurdle Step
• C. Push-Up Test
• D. Supine Straight Leg Raise

Answer: (C)

Functional Movement Screen measures how well you move through seven fundamental patterns to spot limitations in movement quality. Among the options, Deep Squat and Hurdle Step are two of those seven patterns, and the Supine Straight Leg Raise corresponds to the Active Straight Leg Raise pattern, which is also part of the screen. The movement that targets core control through a push sequence is named Trunk Stability Push-Up in the FMS, not a generic Push-Up Test. So, while a standard push-up test could assess upper-body strength, it isn’t one of the FMS test components by that name. That’s why the Push-Up Test is the one that isn’t part of the Functional Movement Screen.
