Functional training is purposeful training. Functional training is to improve the working function of the body movement system as a whole through comprehensive training, and to achieve a better training method system to improve healthy physical fitness and play a competitive level. Functional training enhances the joint stability, neuromuscular control, muscle strength and muscle endurance of sports people through stability, balance, flexibility and resistance, thus improving the quality of daily life and sports performance.

Training methods:

1, lunge stretching: Functional training is important because it lays a good foundation for sports. Before we start to do some intense exercise, we must do warm-up exercises, and lunge stretching is one of the more common movements. By stretching, we can better open our ligaments. When the ligament is stretched, we will be more flexible and reduce unnecessary contusion. Lunge stretching is also relatively simple to do. Press your legs down as far as possible, feel the stress on the ligament, practice alternately and repeat it many times.

2. Squat: Squat is an action that many people will do. It is actually one of the warm-up exercises of functional training, which can exercise our leg muscles and make our lower limbs more powerful. In this way, when we do other fitness exercises, the lower limb support will be more stable. Therefore, when doing some activities related to leg exercises, such as jogging or playing basketball, we usually do squats to warm up and let our legs have an adaptation process.

3. Raise your legs.

High leg lifts are divided into high leg lifts and in-situ high leg lifts. Generally speaking, in-situ leg lifting is widely used. Especially before we start running, many people will choose to do leg lifts to warm up, which can awaken the strength of lower limbs and avoid unnecessary joint injuries during running. Sticking to doing leg lifts will also make the joints more flexible.
