Introduction: Physical fitness is one of the determining factors in the efficiency and effectiveness of military forces. One of the most important factors in promoting fitness and improving muscle performance, Rapid detection of a defect in movement and stability is by Functional Movement Screen. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between functional movement Screen and physical fitness level among the officers of the university. Methods:In this descriptive-correlational study, out of all students studying in one of the country's military universities in 2019, 260 were selected as the final sample. The data were then collected using a 7-step Functional Movement Screen as well as physical fitness tests including a Sit-ups, a swim and a 3200 meters run. Then, the data were entered into the SPSS statistical software (v.24) and analyzed using Pearson correlation and univariate regression tests. Results: The results showed that there is a significant relationship between physical fitness and Functional Movement Screen. There was also a significant relationship between physical fitness and the Deep Scott test, launch, active foot lift, rotational stability. However, there was no significant relationship between physical fitness and the test of stepping on the obstacle and raising the foot activator. Conclusion:The findings of the present study show that the planned programs were suitable for improving the level of physical fitness. Therefore, it seems that the study of effective factors in the promotion of motor screening test and their placement in the training program to improve the level of physical fitness, holding the Functional Movement Screen at the beginning of students to identify weaknesses and planning to strengthen them is useful and effective.
