Study Notes

Functional Training: Main Program Components

Functional training is a comprehensive approach targeting multiple physical attributes through various exercises.
It integrates strength, balance, flexibility, endurance, and functional movement patterns.
These training programs significantly enhance an individual's ability to perform everyday tasks efficiently, reducing injury risks.
Research highlights the importance of a well-rounded functional training regimen, particularly for older adults seeking to improve overall functional capacity.
Functional training focuses on exercises that improve everyday activities by enhancing the body's ability to perform various movements.

Strength and Power Training

Enhances muscle strength and power, crucial for daily tasks like lifting and carrying.
Example exercises include squats, deadlifts, and kettlebell swings with various loads/repetitions.
Research indicates high-intensity weight-bearing exercises improve strength and mobility in older adults.

Balance and Coordination Training

Purpose: Improves stability and coordination, decreasing fall risks.
Example exercises: Single-leg stands, Romanian Deadlifts (RDLs), and agility drills.
Research shows that including balance training in functional exercise programs significantly reduces fall risks in the elderly.

Flexibility and Mobility Training

Purpose: Enhances the range of motion and flexibility of muscles and joints, essential for movements like bending, stretching, and reaching.
Example exercises: Static holds, dynamic stretches, and mobility drills.
Research indicates that incorporating flexibility exercises into functional training can maintain joint health and prevents injuries.

Endurance Training

Purpose: Improves cardiovascular health and muscular endurance for sustained physical activity over extended periods.
Example exercises: Circuit training, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), and aerobic exercises.
Research shows improvements in overall fitness and daily activity performance with functional training programs that emphasize endurance exercises.

Overview of Main Lifts Involved in Functional Strength Training

The functional training approach focuses on exercises that simulate and/or facilitate regular everyday movements.
This overview breaks down important functional exercises categorized by seven fundamental movement patterns: push, pull, carry, squat, lunge, rotate, and anti-rotation.
Push exercises, such as push-ups, overhead presses, and standing horizontal cable presses are designed to enhance upper body strength and core stability.
Pull exercises, for example pull-ups, bent-over rows, and standing single-arm cable rows, aim to strengthen back muscles, biceps, and forearms.
Carry exercises, such as farmer's walk, suitcase carry, and overhead carry, enhances grip strength, core stability, and overall functional strength.
Squat exercises, like bodyweight squats, back squats, and goblet squats, target lower body muscles to improve strength and mobility.
Lunge variations, such as forward lunges, reverse lunges, and lateral walking lunges, are functional exercises simulating walking and stepping.
Rotation and anti-rotation exercises, such as cable woodchoppers and medicine ball throws, enhance core strength and rotational stability.
