What is functional training? With the increasing popularity of fitness training, the term functional training often appears in our lives, but many people don't quite understand what functional training is. Then let's look at the difference between functional training and general training.

1. The difference between functional training and general training

The so-called functional training is a targeted warm-up exercise, which can better carry out a certain exercise. This movement is relatively simple, different from general training, and it is generally high-intensity or difficult. So is functional training unnecessary? On the contrary, only by doing functional training first can the exercise be carried out better, and it can be smoother and achieve better training results.

2. Common functional training movements

Leg lifting, leg lifting is a very common functional training action, mainly a warm-up exercise before sprinting, because high-intensity and concentrated leg lifting can effectively stimulate our leg muscles and speed up our movement. Therefore, in the process of running, it can make us faster and reduce the chance of injury during running. Therefore, leg lifting is a very important functional training action in sprint.

We can guess from the name whether to jump steps or leapfrog, and it must be related to jumping ability. Indeed, these two movements are for the long jump. Because long-term training of jumping stairs and leapfrog can stimulate our jumping ability and effectively improve our jumping ability, it is of great help to high jump and long jump, but it should be noted that both actions need long-term persistence to be effective.

The so-called functional training is the most important preparation before general training, because with functional training, our subsequent training can be better carried out. Therefore, even if the functional training action is simple, it can't be ignored.
