This study made is a literature review with the aim of adding research evidence about the assessment of outcomes using the FPI. Due to the main areas of sports physiotherapist, the injury prevention and health promotion has the potential of interest and relevance. The FPI can be associated with other evaluation methods. It has good validity and reliability analysis and provides confidence as an evaluation tool should be used in clinical practice
