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

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