Functional Strength Training
Are you doing lying down bench press exercises for your chest? Are you doing leg curls to strengthen your hamstrings? Are you doing leg extensions to strengthen your quads? Final questions - Are you an athlete? Do you compete in football, hockey, soccer, basketball, lacrosse, wrestling, tennis or baseball?
If you have answered yes to any of the questions, you need to know that traditional exercises athletes have included in their regimens for years may or may NOT really improve sports performance.
Today’s top athletes in all sports are incorporating Functional Strength Training into their conditioning programs. One of the results of this is the creation of athletes who are stronger, faster and far superior performers compared to athletes of days gone by. How many world record and Olympic records are continually broken in the winter and summer games? Athletes across vast playing fields continually extend their sports to the outer limits, from Tiger Woods, to Kobe Bryant, to Serina Williams.
On the other hand, Functional Strength Training really isn’t anything new, it's really quite old. Think about before the invention of the now highly technical weight machines. What did athletes train with before? The answer - their body weight, dumbbells and barbells. Ironically, these are the pieces of equipment we emphasize during functional strength training. Now in addition we have the benefit of weighted pulley systems, high
tech medicine balls, resistant bands and a variety of balance tools.
Functional Strength Training requires you to make one basic thought change. Approach strength training by training movement patterns - DO NOT strength train individual muscles. Assess the sport you play. Look closely at the movements and power which are necessary to play your sport. A great way to assess this is through still pictures of the sport or watching video in slow motion. Let's take a close look at several sports and how functional strength training can help take you to your optimal performance level.
FOOTBALL
Traditional strength training. Less functional because the athlete is seated. During a tackle the athlete requires core strength in standing and often one legged balance.
Functional strength training using resistance cords or weighted pulleys. Challenges core strength in standing and one legged balance.
Often athletes have enormous 300lb and greater bench presses, but this strength does not carry over into power on the football field because they do not have enough core strength and balance to fully utilize their 300lb strength. The answer - include Functional Strength Training in your conditioning program.
BASKETBALL
Great core and abdominal strength are required to rebound like this.
Traditional abdominal crunches do not provide strength in the standing position.
Functional abdominal strength training allows you to gain abdominal strength and transfer it in standing from your legs through your core and to your arms in a balance challenging position.
BASEBALL
The baseball swing requires great core rotational strength.
Traditional strength training strengths the obliques and core musculature, but does not address the ability to transfer this rotation from the feet to the bat.
Functional core training with resistance bands or weighted pulleys allow to strength train the core in standing. Power can be integrated from the feet all the way up through the hips, trunk, arms and ultimately out the hands to the bat.
Here are just three examples of why you need to add Functional Strength Training to obtain your maximum performance levels in any sport. Available at Athletic Videos are leading Functional Strength Training experts to challenge every level of athlete. The true test of strength training for sport is not how much you can lift, but how your performance improves on the field or court.
