Abstract	Fatigue is an inevitable consequence of physical activity, and affects multiple systems of the human body. Of particular interest to those in the sports medicine world is how fatigue affects the performance of athletes. Quality of movement has become a topic of interest to sports medicine professionals, and although most experts agree functional movement is a critical factor of sports performance, and fatigue may be detrimental to movement, little research has been done to evaluate how fatigue effects functional movement in athletes. Most studies equating fatigue and movement, evaluate very sport specific movements such as three point shots, and jump stop tasks in basketball and negate to evaluate how the body moves as a whole when in a state of fatigue. The major aim of this study was to link the disparity between fatigue and functional movement. 10 subjects from an undergraduate population between the ages of 18-25 had their Functional Movement Screen (FMS) scored while at rest and after performing a fatigue protocol. After fatigue, FMS scores decreased significantly when compared to baseline. The results of this study suggest fatigue may impair functional movement during activity which may decrease performance, and increase susceptibility to injury during activity
