The assessment of how functional strength training (FST) influences movement efficiency alongside core stability together with sprint mechanics and agility and injury prevention forms the foundation of this review. The data demonstrates how better posture, reduced energy costs together with enhanced movements result in noticeable improvements. Functional strength training allowed neuromuscular adaptations such as increased excitatory drive that can lead to an elevated jumping frequency and higher number of activated motor units. Further, neuromuscular adaptations enhance dynamic postural stability and core stabilizing capacities and prove effective for improving hip movements and stride efficiency in sprinting and running techniques. The effectiveness of FST is further supported by increased agility, which is shown by better cutting and pivoting mechanics. The injury risk protection offered by FST stems from its ability to fix muscular weaknesses along with provision of balance between different areas. Functional training also significantly enhances athletes' cardiorespiratory endurance performance. Various data points including joint angles alongside ground reaction forces together with muscle activation levels have also been documented in the literature. Future research should focus on the training protocols tailored to the specific capabilities required for improving athletics’ performance because the positions in which the player is playing are different, and the training protocol should be specified accordingly.
