- Abstract
Objective. Functional strength training has become a popular buzzword in the fitness industry. Unfortunately, it is also subject to wide interpretation. At the extreme, some individuals believe that by mimicking the explosive, ballistic activities of high-level competitive athletes, they are training in a functional manner. All too often, however, such training programs greatly exceed the physiological capabilities of the average exerciser, which ultimately increases the possibility that an injury might occur. Most would agree that there is nothing functional about sustaining an injury due to improper training. In many respects, functional strength training should be thought of in terms of a movement continuum. The aim of this study was to investigate that Effect of functional strength training on certain physical variables for female college students. Methods. Twenty female students from Second Grade at the Faculty of Physical Education for Girls, Helwan University for the academic year 2013/2014 AD, divided into (2) group. The experimental group (n = 10) performance functional strength training and control group (n = 10) performed traditional exercise. Subject's parents and coaches were required to read and complete a health questionnaire and informed consent document; there was no history of injuries, diabetes or recent surgery. Results. The experimental group had significantly higher than the control group in core stability test, balance. In addition, No significant difference was found between the experimental group and the control group in power and strength. Conclusion. Under the condition of our study, functional strength intervention for eight weeks has a beneficial effect on core stability test, balance of hammer throwplayers.
