A functional movement pattern refers to exercises that mimic everyday activities, enhancing overall performance and reducing injury risk. These movements include squatting, lunging, pushing, pulling, and rotating. Functional training emphasizes core stability and promotes balance and coordination, making it applicable to daily tasks. By incorporating functional movement patterns in workouts, individuals can improve strength and flexibility in movements used in daily life, which can enhance athletic performance and support overall physical health. Such training is essential for athletes and non-athletes alike to maintain functional fitness as they age.
