Summary

Functional training is an exercise modality that emphasizes functional, multi-joint movements that can be modified to any fitness level and elicit greater muscle recruitment. This training refers to an exercise program that is characterized by relatively short bursts of vigorous activity, interspersed by periods of rest or low-intensity exercise for recovery. Even though this type of training has been used among athletes since the later part of the 20th century, it recently has gained momentum among fitness enthusiasts and has been identified as a "Top 10 Fitness Trend" in 2018. However, recent work shows that the magnitude of these effects on body structures and functions may be rather modest in nature with potentially differing directions. Furthermore, players' ability to create actions at a very fast pace has a significant impact on the course and result of the game. Finally, to evaluate that functional training can improve male field hockey players' physical fitness, hockey skill and functional movements.
