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.
