What is functional training?<\/h2>\n

Functional training integrates all aspects of human movement, because it is based on training functional strength<\/strong>, which is the force that involves the entire body<\/strong> and not an isolated group of muscles. It is about the strength that we can reproduce in everyday activities or in a specific sport. It is characterized by training movements and not muscles<\/strong>, that is, unlike conventional training, it consists of exercises that involve different muscle groups or chains and does not exercise an isolated muscle.<\/p>\n

Main benefits of functional training:<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Injury prevention,<\/li>\n
  • Functional re-adaptation,<\/li>\n
  • Physical preparation through the work of the muscle groups involved in the technical gestures of the different sports,<\/li>\n
  • Specific training for the correct development in the work activity or day-to-day activity,<\/li>\n
  • Improve the main muscle chains that we use in daily life,<\/li>\n
  • Improve in neuronal factors and coordination.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    In other words …<\/h2>\n

    In addition to strengthening different muscles of the body, functional training helps us to make correct and safe movements<\/strong>, therefore, it is of great help to prevent injuries.<\/p>\n

    Of course, as it works the stabilizing muscles, it also strengthens the middle area of the body, helping to achieve a strong toned abdomen (CORE)<\/strong> as well as to straighten the back<\/strong> and achieve a good body posture<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    CORE helps maintain the balance and functionality of the rest of the muscles of the body, so a proper muscle development<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    As if that were not enough, functional training can help improve in a sport or specific discipline<\/strong> as well as you can promote recovery<\/strong> after injury. And the best, is suitable for everyone<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Then, with functional training you can optimize the whole body and various activities as well as movements that you perform on a day to day basis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    For functional training you can use classic objects to perform the most innovative exercises or objects such as unstable surfaces, such as TRX<\/strong>, a fitball<\/strong>, a bosu<\/strong>, medical balls<\/strong>, among others.<\/p>\n

    And you, have you tried functional training? What has been your experience or your achievements?<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
