The aim of the study was to verify the effects of functional training on the physical
conditioning of women who practice functional training. The sample consisted of 14
women with mean age ±28.35 years, mean height ±160.64 cm and mean ±67.85 in
body mass. The power of lower limbs, agility and localized muscular endurance were
evaluated through the following tests: horizontal jump, quadrant jump and abdominal
test. After 8 weeks of intervention in the jump test where the pre-training mean was
133 cm and after 8 weeks it was 138.5 cm, the correlation was 0.866, in localized
muscle resistance there were 16 repetitions before the intervention and after 21 the
correlation coefficient was 0.847, indicating that there was an improvement with
statistical significance in both tests. Regarding the quadrant test, the sample obtained
an average of 53.5 hops per minute in the pre-training and in the post-training, it
obtained an average of 60.5 hops per minute where the correlation coefficient was
0.497, showing that there was an improvement, but without significance. It was
concluded that the functional training protocol used resulted in improvements in all
tests performed, but more efficient in the tests of power of lower limbs and localized
muscle resistance.
