EFFICACY OF WHOLE-BODY SUSPENSION TRAINING ON ENHANCING FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT ABILITIES FOLLOWING A SUPERVISED OR HOME-BASED 8-WEEK TRAINING PROGRAM SHELBY MARIE SAYLOR ABSTRACT Suspension training is a tool that can be used to work every muscle group in the body through various components of functional movement including balance, stability and coordination. No previous studies have analyzed the effectiveness of a whole-body suspension training program on functional movement abilities. Purpose: The primary purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of suspension training on enhancing functional movement. The secondary purpose was to assess if suspension training is more effective in a supervised program or a home-based program. Methods: Twenty-one healthy subjects, ages 18-32 (11 male, 10 female) with no recent history of resistance training participated in this investigation and were randomly assigned to either a home-based or a supervised group after completing their initial pre-test that included body composition testing and a Functional Movement Screening (FMS) test. Each subject that was randomized into the home-based group was taught how to set up the suspension training system on a door way and how to complete each of the 10 exercises correctly. After this initial session in the laboratory the home-based group subjects were then supervised once in their home on how to set up the system in their home, as well as reminded of the correct procedures for each exercise in the program. The supervised group began their introductory session 2-4 days after their initial FMS pre-test. The 8-week training program consisted of a 5 minute warm-up followed by 10 exercises targeting each major muscle group in the body including: low row, chest press, Y-fly, triceps press, biceps curl, squat, lunge, calf press and side plank. Each exercise session was followed by 5-10 minutes of whole-body static stretching. Upon the completion of the 8-week suspension training program, each subject went through post-testing that included body composition testing and a FMS test. A repeated measures ANOVA was used to analyze the data. Results: There was a significant improvement in FMS scores across the total sample of subjects after suspension training (p= .004; pre=16.4, post=17.5), with no significant differences in improvement between the home or supervised group (p>0.05). There was a significant increase in lean mass across the total sample of subjects (p=0.03), with no differences between groups ( p> .05) . Conclusions: When completed as a whole body exercise program over an 8-week period, suspension training can improve functional ability and increase lean mass in both a supervised and a home-based setting.
