Functional training - benefits and application

Regular exercise has many benefits on weight, well-being and health. But how to be effectively active? Many decide to use functional training. What is behind it and for whom it is suitable, you can read here.

Functional Training - what is it?

Functional training is about becoming more efficient and resilient. Other goals include building muscle mass and reducing susceptibility to injury. The latter applies not only in sports, but also in everyday life, for example in fall prevention. Functional training is therefore also very popular with competitive athletes. It improves: Strength Quickness Balance stability Endurance Coordination Mobility In general, the body is strengthened in a functional way. Functional training offers a lot of variety, because you can use various tools, such as a skipping rope, dumbbells, weight plates, kettlebells, Crossfit balls or Olympic bars.

Making Functional Training more effective with aids

Most of the time you work with your own body weight. In doing so, you learn to overcome resistance. But the use of different equipment provides variety in training and you set additional stimuli in this way. With a medicine ball, for example, sit-ups become more effective. They are also suitable for push-ups or crunches to increase and intensify the exercises. The same applies to dumbbells with different weight sizes. Kettlebells complement them very well. Resistance bands increase resistance and thus also intensify many exercises, such as squats. Sling trainers strengthen extra deep muscles.

Advantage over strength training

The advantage over strength training, which targets one muscle group, for example only the muscles of the biceps on the biceps machine, is that functional training works several muscles at the same time. It is based on holistic development. The focus is not on muscle building.

For whom is functional training suitable?

Functional training helps to increase performance and minimize susceptibility to injury in athletes. Therefore, they like to integrate it. Last but not least, everyone benefits from it. Functional training not only trains the muscles, but also the cardiovascular system. No matter what age, gender or training level, functional training is suitable for anyone who wants to improve their physical fitness and movement quality and avoid sports injuries. Since the exercises can be very demanding, you'll also burn plenty of calories.

Getting started with Functional Training

To familiarize your body with it, you can start with simple movements and gradually increase the complexity of the exercises to progress. Ideal for beginners are: Lunges Push-ups Squats Jumping rope You will see success even with small steps.

Conclusion

Functional training focuses on optimizing the quality of movement, strengthening the muscles and preventing injuries. The own body weight is used. By using aids you set new training stimuli and can intensify the exercises. Functional Training is suitable for every athletic performance level, because it is possible to design the degree of difficulty and intensity individually as needed.
