Training Styles

Functional Training 

The purpose of functional training according to the book "Functional Training" is to improve skills and focus in any sport or physically demanding job with little equipment because with this training it can be easily transferred  into your sport and job. (Santana, 2016) Functional training is very beneficial because you are using muscles specific to the sport/ job but also your brain will start to apply certain scenarios from that training. 

Static Training 

Static training can have many benefits if done correctly and carefully. This training is a stressor of the cardiovascular system that can induce in systolic diastolic hypertension, moderate tachycardia, and enhanced contractility that results in an increase of cardiac output with no increase of stroke volume. (JL;, 1988) 

Dynamic Training 

Using this method will allow you to increase your maximal voluntary muscle contraction and movements that require maximal velocity and acceleration otherwise known as voluntary ballistic contractions. By using ballistic contractions, motor units nearly double. With the increase of motor units comes the increase of speed of voluntary muscle contracts after practicing dynamic training. The training program used in this study was based on a 12 week period of dynamic training five times a week. At the end of the 12 weeks there was an exceptional increase of motor units and voluntary muscle contraction. (Cutsem, Duchateau, Hainaut, 1998)
