NEW POST ON THE OLDER AVOCADO ____________ THE ANALYTIC FITNESS™ DICTIONARY- FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT With this entry, the Analytic Fitness™ Dictionary takes a deep dive in the murky waters of functional movement. 'Functionality' is easily defined on a piecemeal basis but some generality across contexts would be useful to make informed exercise and training choices. Beginning in the later 1990s-early 2000s, a handful of physical therapists tried to put good order in the chaotic use of the term 'functional' and to achieve the desired level of generality. Almost 20 years later, numerous studies and a couple of meta-analyses, the story of this effort is a cautionary tale about the simplistic reduction of complex notions and how little the fitness industry cares about legit scientific research even when it kick-starts it. #FunctiomalTraining #FunctionalMovement #FunctionalExercise #Biomechanics #Bullshit #FunctionalMovemwntScreen #FMS #TrademarkedShit https://www.instagram.com/p/BpPQU-9B-H4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fkrvki6vr3jm
