The purpose of the Master's thesis was to gather, present and analyse existing systems for evaluating the quality of movement. The work was monographic type. It included eight test batteries for evaluating movement patterns and one test battery, which, in addition to testing movement patterns, also includes checking the ability to perform isolated movements in individual joints and analysis of static posture. For each test battery, we have listed its authors, the purpose and reason for its creation, evaluation criteria and a detailed presentation of individual tests. They include a textual and pictorial description, instructions for evaluation and the most common errors that appear on the tests. With the help of the presented systems, coaches and other experts will be able to choose the system that best suits them, or they can set up their own test battery from all the presented tests. We also included the latest researches and literatures. We were mainly interested in the prediction of injuries with the help of movement pattern testing, the usefulness of movement pattern testing in the fitness preparation of athletes, the structuring of a training program with the help of preliminary testing, and the effectiveness of movement interventions after testing. Most of the research is related to the FMS test battery, which is also the most known and used among professionals. For other test batteries, the number of studies is very limited. By reviewing the literature, we found out the following: the prediction of injuries by testing movement patterns is limited, the test batteries which were included in the different researches are not suitable for assessing the physical fitness of athletes, there is a lack of research in the field of movement intervention to be able to speak with certainty about its effectiveness.
