Functional Training
What is Functional Training?
Functional Training is about more than lifting weights – it encompasses the entire development of the individual and what is needed to improve physical performance. This includes plyometrics, speed and agility, endurance and core stability with strength training being just one piece of the jigsaw.
Research has demonstrated that not only does training improve performance; it also shows that that incorrect training can cause decrements to performance. Using techniques such as plyometrics in some high-power athletes and sports-specific movements in others, individuals may improve physical function, pain and athletic performance.
Why would i need functional training?
Functional training is used to improve movement patterns and ensure injury risks are kept to a minimum. If you are triathlete, golfer, tennis player or someone who wants to keep active and look after the longevity of your body then functional training is for you.
