Weight training has three basic goals.
1. Increasing strength
2. Increasing endurance
3. Improving performance (speed, explosiveness, coordination, stability, mobility, etc.)
Functional training, which is currently breaking all records of popularity in the world, is a training that, above all, has the goal of performance improvement. The movement is trained, not the muscle. The whole body participates in the exercises.
Human movement is categorized into four categories: 1. Locomotion (change in body tension level) 2. Pushing 3. Pulling 4. Rotation
I personally think that training with weights should primarily and most effectively be used to acquire a strong body. Strength is a basic advantage if you have everything else needed for a specific sport or activity.
However, to be strong, you first must achieve muscular stability, endurance, hypertrophy, power, and maximum strength.
I'm afraid not to scare someone with all these terms, but those who actively train to know exactly what I'm writing about.
The point of the story is that you have to prepare your body with one, two, or three months of preparatory training in order to start strength training and therefore a higher level of quality in training.
In professional sports, it sometimes takes several years to get all the potential and physical maximum out of the body. Any bypassing of these preparatory stages significantly reduces the ranges you can achieve.
If you are not a professional athlete or have no tendency to be one, these preparatory phases, to call them that, are ideal training for ordinary people, recreational athletes, and all other categories of people.
Basic settings of functional training
Movement is trained, in the way the human body moves in the sports discipline you practice or everyday life. Almost all muscles are always engaged. Preference is given to exercises where one arm or leg is used, during which the diagonal kinetic chains are activated.
It is also ideal for the elderly and those who engage in static occupations. Normally the intensity is lower. The number of sets, repetitions, and everything else is adapted to physical abilities. Proper movement is trained. He trains below the pain threshold. Muscles and ligaments develop, which enables functional stability.
Many elderly people and inactive people often think that they suffer from vertigo, although the main reason is atrophy and weakness of the muscles that make the body stable.
The point of this whole story is to first develop adequate stability and only then gradually introduce loads.
On the other side
For all those who intend to reach their physical maximums, the next phase is the phase of optimal performance training, which progressively and systematically enables the optimal level of physiological and physical performance to be achieved.
OPT (abbreviated) is a science-based program by the American National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM).
However, you must know that the trainer is the one on whom it depends the most on how successful the application of the program will be for you.
We will talk about this in one of the following titles.
