Constructing a framework in the development and creation of functional circuits in high performance sport a view from physiotherapy: a reflection study

Abstract

Introduction In high performance sport, physical skills play a fundamental role in the development of elite level athletes, these skills can be adapted to specific load cycles in order to develop adaptation periods and optimization of these qualities. Currently, the concepts of movement, functional evaluation, functional rehabilitation and functional training have been the most used in the sports area, specific adaptations are made of comprehensive approaches to human body movement based on neuromuscular factors, muscle synergies, motor learning, motor control, strength, power, speed mediated by specific training methodologies. Methodology A reflection study was carried out based on a literature review that aimed to describe a framework in the development and creation of functional circuits of movement by physical ability. A review of scientific evidence was conducted in databases such as Pubmed, EBSCO, Medline, Scopus, Google academic and with DeCS terms: High Performance Sport, Functional Training, Physical Therapy, Physical abilities, Movement screening, Circuit Training, strength, Change of direction, Sprint, neuromuscular training Results with the consulted evidence, a reflection was made and an intervention model based on skills such as quality of movement, strength, power, speed, change of direction, neuromuscular control, proprioception and core implemented using functional training methodologies. Conclusion A reflection is presented on functional work methodologies in athletes based on specific sports performance skills that are incorporated into a performance model based on specific scientific evidence that can be applied through functional movement circuits
