Sažetak | Funkcionalni trening označava vrstu vježbanja koja je dizajnirana tako da imitira aktivnosti i kretne strukture koje se pojavljuju u karakterističnoj sportskoj aktivnosti s ciljem da adaptacije uzrokovane treningom budu specifičnije i primjenjivije. Dosadašnja istraživanja uglavnom su se bavila efektima funkcionalnog treninga kod starijih ispitanika s obzirom da je funkcionalni trening kao takav originalno i razvijen prvenstveno za primjenu kod vježbača s određenim zdravstvenim problemima. Evidentan je nedostatak znanstvenih studija koje su proučavale efekte funkcionalnog treninga kod mladih, prethodno treniranih ispitanika. Dodatno, vrlo su rijetka istraživanja koja su analizirala varijable kondicijskih sposobnosti, to jest varijable koje same u sebi sadrže i određeni dio sportske vještine. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je utvrditi specifične efekte funkcionalnog treninga (FT) i tradicionalnog treninga (TT) snage na setu antropometrijskih varijabli, eksplozivnoj snazi, agilnosti i performansama sprinta kod mladih, prethodno treniranih muških ispitanika. |
Sažetak (engleski) | Functional training (FT) refers to exercise training programs that are designed to imitate the activities and movement pattern that occur in an athlete`s characteristic activity to make
training adaptations more specific and applicable. There is a lack of studies on the effects of
FT in young and previously trained subjects. The aim of this study was to determine the
training-specific effects of FT and traditional strength training (TST) on a subset of
anthropometric measures, explosive strength, agility, and sprint performance in young (22 -
25 years of age), previously trained male subjects (N = 23) that were divided randomly into
two groups (FT, n = 11; TST, n = 12). The variables sampled included anthropometric
measures (body height, body weight, body fat percentage, lean body mass, and total body
water), two agility tests (5-10-5 meter shuttle run and the hexagon test (HEXAGON)),
jumping ability (air time, peak power (PEAKPWR), jump height, ground contact time (GCT)),
throwing ability tests (standing overarm medicine ball throw (SMB) and laying medicine ball
throw), and sprinting variables (10m and 20m dash and 10-20m time results). The training
program lasted 5 weeks and consisted of 3-times-weekly FT or TST. Pre- and post-training
differences within the groups were established using the dependent samples t-test. The
independent samples t-test was calculated to detect between-group differences.
Anthropometric variables did not change significantly during the training period. Within group comparisons revealed significant improvements in the SMB and HEXAGON for FT. TST
significantly improved GCT, PEAKPWR, and HEXAGON performance but decreased
achievement for the SMB. In conclusion, FT and TST differently influenced the explosive
strength and agility variables. More precisely, the results demonstrated that TST increased
the energetic potential of trained musculature, which resulted in an overall increase in
power qualities, while FT improved postural control and precise coordination. The
limitations of this study are noted. |
