FUNCTIONAL EXERCISE CAPACITY IN SEDENTARY COLLEGE STUDENTS

CAPACIDADE DE EXERCÍCIO FÍSICO FUNCIONAL EM ESTUDANTES UNIVERSITÁRIOS SEDENTÁRIOS

CAPACIDAD DE EJERCICIO FÍSICO FUNCIONAL EN ESTUDIANTES UNIVERSITARIOS SEDENTARIOS

ABSTRACT

Introduction

The functional training method has been widely adopted as core training by national and foreign sports teams, due to the good results achieved in improving physical fitness and sports skills. However, there are still gaps about its intervention in sedentary students.

Objective

Explore the effect of physical function training on exercise capacity in sedentary college students.

Methods

Volunteer students randomly assigned to experimental and control groups were selected from 120 non-sport majors. Before the formal experiment, the physical indicators of the two groups of college students were measured and recorded. After the experiment, the physical indicators of the two groups of college students were measured and recorded again, and these data were statistically analyzed and discussed.

Results

After 12 weeks of training under the prescribed intervention protocol, the test scores of the two groups of subjects in functional movement screening were elevated. It is concluded that there is no significant difference between traditional physical training and functional training on height, weight and body mass index of sedentary college students.

Conclusion

Functional training can improve the physical quality of college students, improve their ability to exercise and play an active role in preventing sports injuries, representing no statistical difference for those who practice it sporadically. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
