The purpose of this paper is to determine the possible differences in functional movement patterns between female volleyball players ŽOK Osijek and male volleyball players MOK Mursa Osijek. The FMS measurement protocol with the aim of assessing movement functionality was implemented through seven tests: deep squat, hurdle step, inline lunge, shoulder mobility, active straight-leg raise, trunk stability push up and rotary stability. Mann-Whitney U test is used in statistical analysis to determine statistically significant differences and a statistically significant difference was proven in four tests: inline lunge by left and right leg and active straight-leg raise by left and right leg. In the tests inline lunge by left and right leg, female volleyball players achieved statistically significantly better results compared to male volleyball players (M= 2,89>2,11) as well as in the active straight-leg raise by left and right leg (M= 3>2,28/2,33). The results indicate a better static stability of the trunk and pelvis, better postural control and dinamic stability of lower extremities in female volleyball players as well as better mobility and stability of hips and ankles, the flexibility of the front-thigh muscles and stability of the knee compared to male volleyball players. Female volleyball players have more flexible hamstring and lower leg muscles, better stability and motor control of the trunk and pelvis during performace of the active straight-leg raise
