What is Movement Skill Training and Why Train It?
The term functional training is widely used in the strength and conditioning field. Functional training can be described as training with a purpose in order to perform a particular function. This purpose covers a wide spectrum and depends on the goals of the individual. What may be functional for one person or sport may not be for another. With this in mind we must always ask, “Why am I training the way I am training.” Even when we ask the why behind the training we have to be careful as to what is functional and what is not. Each person may have a different view on what functional training is and this can lead to ambiguity. For a bodybuilder looking to acquire lean muscle mass they will consider their training to be functional. Isolation, single joint, seated and stabilized/machine movements will be a large part of their training. Conversely, a track athlete or a field sport athlete looking to improve performance will consider their training to be functional. Integrated, compound, gro
