While both strength & conditioning and functional training contribute to strength and overall fitness, they have distinct focuses. Strength and conditioning emphasises building muscle strength and power through targeted resistance exercises, often using heavier weights, plate-loaded equipment, lifting platforms and so on. On the other hand, functional training concentrates on movements that mimic real-life activities, enhancing everyday functional abilities and sports performance with smaller pieces of kit that add challenge and resistance to movements. These training approaches are often complementary, however, as functional movements require a strong foundation of strength – and vice versa.
