FUNCTIONAL TRAINING: STRENGTH TRAINING FOR THE REAL WORLD. Functional strength training, developing strength to improve performance in functional tasks, is one of the fastest growing trends in sports, health and fitness. Traditional strength training machines deliver tremendous benefits, but may not be applicable to every individual nor optimal for meeting every fitness goal. The cable systems used for functional training provide effective training solutions by promoting a variety of functionally integrated resisted movement patterns. Used correctly, cable-based training can improve strength, coordination, and the learning of specific movement patterns.

Physical therapists use cable systems to promote coordination during rehabilitation. Sport performance coaches use cable-based functional techniques to enhance movement patterns, quickness, and stability. In the world of fitness, cables can be used for strength development, in circuit programs for weight loss, and to teach integrated movement patterns to the aging or the weekend athlete.
