Final bachelor thesis discusses the topic of core and shoulder ring stabilizers and their functional training. The main purpose of functional training for strengthening core and shoulder ring stabilizers is preserving and developing basic movement patterns. They are necessary for quality life of each individual and for everyday activities such as carrying, lifting, lowering, moving, pulling and pushing of objects. Looking at the moving abilities of such training program, the main emphasis is on the preserving and developing strength, agility, coordination and balance. Our finding was that systematic pick of static versus dynamic, and strengthening versus stretching exercises is very important. In first phase of such training program, we stabilize unsupported parts (joints) with appropriate static gymnastic exercises. With this we force him or her to keep the posture of his or her body and control the muscles that allow stabilization. In second phase, individual performs different dynamic movements, basic and advanced, that imitate everyday activities (carrying, lifting, lowering, moving, pulling and pushing). All the movements are performed from the static poses what allows individual to have control of muscles being used. This type of exercising is very difficult in terms of preparing and executing the training plan. Trainer has to be knowledgeable about the functional anatomy and muscle functioning. Gymnastic exercises cannot be picked randomly. Instead, they must be thoroughly and systematically selected, depending on the goals of the functional training. Moreover, functional training is difficult for the individual who trains. The main goal of exercising is not development of movement abilities (strength, agility, coordination, balance), but on the conscious and controlled movements. We predispose that with the functional training (consisting of systematically selected static and dynamic, and strengthening and stretching exercises) one can improve his or her quality of life. Conscious and controlled way of movement which individual learns while performing functional training can actually transfer to the other aspects of everyday life. This unquestionably affects body posture and accurate performance of movements. What is more, altogether they can prevent the pain and injuries of spine and shoulder ring area.
