Study Notes
Functional Movement Patterns
- Functional movement patterns are the foundation of all human movement and daily life.
- Performing these movements stimulates all major muscle groups.
- They focus on recruiting multiple muscle groups, offering an efficient workout for those with limited time.
Gait Movements
- Represents walking.
- Combines lunging, rotating and hamstring engagement
- Includes various exercises such as jogging, jumping, and farmer's walk.
Squat Movements
- Involves simultaneous hip and knee flexion, lowering the center of gravity.
- Activates the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, adductors, and core.
Lunge Movements
- Lower body movement with one foot positioned forward, creating an unstable stance.
- Targets flexibility, stability, and balance.
- Includes exercises like step ups, side lunges, and Bulgarian split squats.
- Stimulates the glutes, quadriceps, core, and hamstrings, particularly emphasizing all three gluteal muscles due to the staggered stance.
Hinge Movements
- Involve leaning forward with a neutral spine while kicking the butt backward, resembling picking up an object from the floor.
- Deadlifts are the primary exercises in this category, including variations like sumo deadlifts, Romanian deadlifts, and kettlebell deadlifts.
- Focus on strengthening the posterior chain, encompassing the hamstrings, glutes, and lower back.
Twist Movements
- Unique in its focus on rotational movement, unlike other patterns that primarily involve forward/backward or side-to-side motion.
- Essential for athletic success but often overlooked.
