The collective sentiment is highly aligned with the article's critique of the ambiguous use of 'functional training,' with many posts emphasizing the lack of clear definitions and advocating for discarding the term altogether. The tone is analytical yet assertive, highlighting the widespread confusion and professional risks, exemplified by statements like 'Calling training 'functional' is absolutely needless' and references to the term's overuse and misapplication across social discussions.
AgreementStrong agreement
Most discussions strongly agree with the article's main premise that 'functional training' lacks a clear, standardized definition and should be reconsidered or abolished as a term.
InterestHigh interest
Participants demonstrate high interest by engaging with the core issues of terminology, implications, and definitions, often referencing the article directly and sharing opinions.
EngagementHigh engagement
Many comments delve into detailed critiques, with some referencing related concepts, suggesting deep engagement with the topic and its scientific and practical ramifications.
ImpactHigh impact
The discussions have a significant impact, as they challenge prevailing terminology in fitness and rehab fields, advocating for clearer classification and understanding—potentially influencing professional practices.
Abstract in brief
The review explores whether Functional Training (FT) is a distinct approach from traditional strength, power, flexibility, and endurance training, finding no clear consensus or unique definition for FT.
It highlights that FT programs aim to produce the same benefits as traditional training, using similar exercises, which makes differentiating FT from conventional methods difficult.
The authors suggest abandoning the terms FT, high-intensity FT, and functional fitness training to prevent confusion, advocating instead for clear classification based on traditional exercise categories like strength, power, and flexibility training.]
A pesar de que el "entrenamiento funcional" se ha puesto de moda, debemos aclarar que el principio de CUALQUIER entrenamiento BIEN DISEÑADO, debería ser FUNCIONAL a la vida de una persona.
Por tanto el término "funcional" es vago, difuso y poco claro...

Calling training 'functional' is absolutely needless. There's no training that is 'non-functional'. Talk like that has got no place in scientific literature.
Everything is functional.
