The aim of the study was to determine the effects of specialized strength training protocol on the functional movement status of office workers, and to assess and evaluate the quality of movement patterns and identify any limitations that may exist in order to prevent musculoskeletal injuries, using Functional movement screening. Randomized controlled trials done at Codistan Ventures and Zakori Industries Private Limited. The sample size was 100. The subjects were divided in two groups, 50 subjects in Specialized Strength Training Protocol group and 50 in 30 minute walk group. Study duration was of 6 months. Sampling technique applied was non probability connivance sampling technique. Only 20-35 years office desk workers with no known musculoskeletal deformity were included. Tool used in the study was Functional Movement Screening Test.

As the world is becoming more corporate, the increase in number of hours a person spends in his or her workplace has certainly shifted people towards a sedentary way of life. Sitting and working for a long time in an improper position leads to the tightness and weakness of the muscles, which can lead to musculoskeletal disorders such as neck, shoulders, and lower back pains as well as anatomical disorders such as lordosis, kyphosis, and scoliosis.Most causes of these symptoms include long sitting and excessive leaning. Individuals with areas of muscular weaknesses cannot perform fundamental movement patterns due to compensatory adaptations which can increase the risk of injury. To combat workplace-caused mental and physical exhaustion physical activity has been proven to be an efficient tactic. Physical activity is known not to only treat but prevent the occurrence of a fore coming disease. Being physically active will lead to reduced stress levels and increased productivity. According to World Health Organization facts physical activity refers to all movement including during leisure time, for transport to get to and from places, or as part of a person's work. Both moderate- and vigorous-intensity physical activity improve health that also includes walking for 150-300 minutes a week for adults. Some physical activity is better than doing none. By becoming more active throughout the day in relatively simple ways, people can easily achieve the recommended activity levels.Physical Fitness is defined as the ability to perform physical activity and comprises of components such as flexibility, strength and endurance. A complete physical fitness regimen must target core and extremities. A strong musculoskeletal system is recognized as important component of health related physical fitness. Strength training program provides an opportunity to improve health, physical fitness and quality of life. Core strengthening involving multiplane movements has plausible benefits to improve functional movement patterns. Combination of core strengthening along with upper and lower extremities strengthening program is needed to improve the physical fitness in active individuals to improve their functional status. The topic of FMS (Functional Movement Status) development has received considerable interest owing to the close association between health and well-being, physical activity, and to a lesser degree physical performance.
