Functional training bases its ethos on taking people away from using gym machines to throwing around medicine balls, or jumping onto boxes. FMTNews

Functional training is mostly developed for athletes training for specific, explosive movements.

For many coaches, this is the perfect marketing spin. As a result, coaches can now build a gym with about 10% the investment cost. All the value gained from training with a coach is from instructions in class. This however, often results in a sales line boasting variety but with machines that aren’t very efficient. What’s more, despite the research, not everyone’s ergonomics fit perfectly into a machine’s design.

So, if the function of the quadriceps is knee extension, and performing repetitions on the leg extension machine increases one’s strength over time, does this knee not become more functional? The level to which something is functional is arguable. Using leg extensions is high in functionality for a footballer. For an average person who uses the stairs or gets out of their chair, it has moderate functionality. For a condo-dwelling snooker player with a lift, it is less functional.

Demography not key factor in deciding BN candidate for Tanjung Piai - MCATanjung Piai was a traditional MCA seat before it was won by Bersatu in GE14. Why beat around the bush MCA? Why not just admit that MCA has been forced to kowtow to the Pas-Umno-Putra-Isma-Harapan-Deep State goons like MIC was forced to kowtow in Cameron Highlands? Umno and the Deep State will contest against Bersatu and Umno will win. No doubt about that. Harharhar. Politic is a game of numbers. MCA is still backwards you need to change. Just pay for seat.. Or get paid out MCA.. Ayoh
