  2. The Study • Three advanced high school sports medicine students undertook this research project. • Goal of study: To compare the effects of functional training, weight training, and traditional physical education activities on freshman physical education students.

  3. Methods • 43 freshman were randomly divided into three groups: • Six males and six females participated in functional training • Nine males and eight females comprised the weight training group. • Seven males and seven females were in a traditional physical education program.

  4. Methods • Pre-testing for upper body power (3 kg. medicine ball toss), agility (20 yard shuttle run, and speed (40 yd. dash) • Groups worked out three days a week for 40 minutes (traditional physical education activities the other two days of the week). • Post-testing on same three measures followed an eight week program.

  5. Functional Training • Definition: A series of exercises that incorporate functional movements (multi-planar: sagittal, frontal, transverse).

  6. Functional Training Exercise Examples • Multi-plane plyometrics

  7. Functional Training Exercises • Squats with punches

  8. Functional Training Exercises • Multi-plane partner-ball tosses (frontal, sagittal, and transverse)

  9. Functional Training Exercises • Plyometric pushups with medicine ball

  10. Functional Training Exercises • Sit-ups with medicine ball toss

  11. Functional Training Exercises • Lunges with medicine ball press

  12. Traditional Weight Training • Squats • Hip sled • Quad extensions • Hamstring curls • Bench press • Upper body free weight exercises

  13. Traditional Physical Education Activities • Basketball • Volleyball • Soccer

  14. Results--- (Percent improvement)

  15. Discussion of Results • The 3 kg. overhead ball toss showed statistically significant improvement on one-way ANOVA (p=.05). • Other tests did not show significant differences among the various workout programs.

  16. Limitations of Study • High school freshmen • Physical and mental maturity • Lack of Interest • Exercise Technique • Absences • Injuries

  17. Further Study Regarding Functional Training • Older athletes • Functional training in conjunction with weight lifting • Evaluate aerobic endurance, flexibility, vertical jump, long jump, subjective compliance, etc.
