What is functional training?

According to Argentina's FTHP, led by R. Crosa, the E.F. It is not a method, it is not a group of exercises, it is not an exercise routine, it is not a training methodology, it is not a fitness trend.

Functional training is what works for the body and everything that allows achieving the desired objective and preventing injuries. In such a way that the contribution of Functional Training to the world of training and rehabilitation is obviously not a series of rare or unusual exercises with the use of different training materials. Functional Training tells us how the human body works, through new knowledge that has emerged in the last decade and a half. Disciplines such as Integrated Functional Biomechanics, Neurofunctional Proprioceptive Physiology, Neurosciences and the model of use of Physical Laws to understand the loads to which the human body is challenged.

In short, Functional Training seeks to train the human body how the human body works for specific functions.

The Integrated Functional Biomechanics of the Human Body model characterizes 6 Motor Patterns of Human Movement:

1. Standing.
2. Change in the level of center of gravity.
3. Moving in space walking or running.
4. Push objects away from our body.
5. Throw objects closer to our body.
6. Rotation.

Everything that we human beings do in our daily activities, physical activity and sports, throughout life is a combination of the 6 Motor Patterns.

I have developed the functional training program for martial arts and combat sports, specifically focused on CKA Hapkido.
