The Functional Sports Assessment (FSA) also is available for athletes and active individuals who want to be in top physical shape and prevent injuries. The FSA tests an athlete's physical fitness and assesses and identifies potential areas that may be prone to risk.

The FSA requires an athlete to perform functional tasks that measure agility, endurance, resistance, strength and stability. The variety of evaluations will identify an individual's physical strengths and weaknesses relevant to prevention, recovery and return to sport decisions. The individual will gain an understanding of where he/she is in the recovery process and what areas (if any) need improvement.

The FSA is an exam we perform to assess for deficits with knee mechanics, jumping, landing, side-to-side activities, acceleration, deceleration, and strength compared to the opposite side. The specific components of the test are below.
