Functional training basics and rules
Introduction to this topic begins with a general definition of what functional training means, what qualifies as "functional," and what distinguishes this type of training. The various movement planes as well as muscles, fascia, and chains are explained. The unit is then divided into Sensory-Motor Training, Strength Training, Functional Strength Training, and Dynamic Core and Supportive Strength Training.
Sensory-Motor Training
Participants learn what sensory-motor training is and receive an explanation of local stabilizers and global muscle structures. There is also a muscle classification. The goals of sensory-motor training are explained, and the training intensity of such training is determined. After this unit, participants should be familiar with the terms closed and open kinematic chains.
Strength Training
An explanation of what strength training is as a means of increasing basic strength and its goals is provided. Particularly, the term ROM and the training principles of ROM training, as well as its importance for various tissues, joints, cartilage structures, and muscles, are given special attention in this part of the unit. Additionally, participants learn about load norms and improving flexibility through strength training.
Functional Strength Training
Fundamentals and principles of training in muscle chains are presented, along with examples. The stress situation, risk of injury, loss of performance, and training methodological approaches to single-leg support phases are extensively discussed. Various muscle chains such as medial, lateral, or ventral are shown, and practical-methodical exercises are demonstrated.
Development of Core Strength
In this part of the unit, special attention is given to the concept of intermittent training and how it can be implemented in practice. Additionally, intermittent training also addresses the performance range.
Dynamic Core and Supportive Strength Training
In the last part of this unit, participants learn theoretical and anatomical basics of core and supportive strength training, and the functioning of the muscles is discussed. Furthermore, numerous examples of eccentric training are provided.
