Functional

6 exercises

Functional training refers to an approach that focuses on exercises mimicking natural movements from daily life or specific sports activities. These exercises aim to improve strength, stability, coordination, and flexibility in a holistic way, emphasizing the integration of movements rather than isolating a single movement. In the context of ankle injury prevention, functional training is highly important as it strengthens the natural movements of this joint and the surrounding muscles. (Kolenia & Domaradzki, 2021)
