Answer

Functional training uses movements that replicate everyday activities (lifting, pushing, pulling, rotating) to improve real-world physical capability.

Question 4

What is the purpose of an 'exercise order' in a training session?

Accepted Answer

To prioritize exercises requiring the most energy and technique early in the session

Answer

Exercises demanding the highest neuromuscular demands (compound, Olympic lifts) are typically placed early in the session when energy and focus are highest.
