Functional Fitness World Championships
Last December, the World Functional Fitness Championships were held in Budapest, with Jet Travel taking an active part in the organisation.
But what is Functional Fitness?
Functional Fitness is a relatively new, yet dynamically evolving sport that is based on natural human movement and the maximisation of performance.
The sport aims to improve endurance, strength, speed, flexibility and stamina through a combination of different movement patterns (such as lifting weights, running, jumping and pulling).
In sport, athletes’ performance is measured against six different tests: Endurance, Strength, Bodyweight, Skill, Mixed and Power.
The popularity of the sport stems from the increasing focus on health and mental well-being in the modern world. Functional fitness provides not only elite athletes but also amateurs with an excellent opportunity to improve their overall health, and as a result is attracting a growing global following.
Throughout the event, we were met by a large number of enthusiastic athletes and impressive presentations, which helped us to develop professionally and also build our partnerships.
