Answer 1

Answer: B. Functional training is designed to maximise transfer of abilities to real-life performance

Explanation: In other words, functional training is a group and a system of exercises, which the body exercises for all the activities it has in daily life. It means that the body acquires with these exercises the skills and abilities that are just needed to perform daily duties and tasks. If the body is not accustomed to daily tasks with the help of such exercises, it is prone to injury, if not injury then it is much more difficult to complete daily tasks. That is why the exercises within the functional training are designed in such a way that in the maximum way the abilities acquired through this training are transferred to everyday life, i.e these abilities are applicable to everyday life and are very helpful.
