While he was seen to replicate the chief physician of the gladiators, Galen developed training exercises for shipments outside the arena, as in the 1960 film Spartacus. Galen gladiator drills are now referred to as "sports-specific training or sometimes misleadingTerm of training "functional", ie exercises with movements that are specific to a particular sport. With practice you can improve the performance of these exercises, but to date there is no evidence that this makes a difference to sporting performance or normal everyday function of the targeted muscles.

'State-dependent learning is "a phenomenon in which the recovery of the acquired information is possible only if the subject is in the same environment and physicalState, as during the learning phase. That is, a skill learned in one situation does not necessarily translate into another, for example, developed from the results obtained for the exercises to strengthen the "core" muscles do not change their performance in competition or even daily, to where the effective exercise. Therefore, distinguishing, if its training programs are useful, they must replicate the playing conditions as closely as possible.

In sport, a great professionalPercentage of training through the practice in the belief that you will develop strength, coordination and agility taken, but if these exercises are considered necessary for a particular sport, because the athlete develop these skills actually participating in this sport? If an athlete does not have the strength or agility so much for their perceived needs or the game then they are wrong (and it happens over and over again) and the exercises are not a waste of time or the athleteTo practice their sport in a way be the right one. If the latter is the case, then how can an athlete whose movement can suddenly be able to blame is probable, the prescribed exercises its right? If they learn to do so to exercise the "right" these new skills back on the sports field are transmitted performed?

Sports scientist Dr Michael Yessis writes:

What makes a particular exercise? For an exercise to be exact, it must meet one or more of thethe following criteria:

1 The exercise must duplicate the exact movement witnessed
a particular segment of sport skills.

2 The exercise must contain the same type of muscle contraction, as in the ability of execution used.

3 The special exercise must have the same range of motion as the ability to have effect.

So perhaps the best sport-specific exercise program, by definition, is ... Play your sport?
