: The objective of this narrative review was to examine the available literature regarding the increasingly popular method of exercise commonly referred to as "Functional Training" and its potential implications on vestibular and balance function. : a narrative review of the experimental literature prior to September 2024 was conducted. To be included in this review, the selected investigations need to include some aspect of vestibular function, balance function, functional training, and/or functional movement and be conducted in humans. : Evidence emerged to support the claim that implementing a physical fitness training program may improve vestibular and balance function but that a functional training program or a physical fitness program designed to improve functional movements may improve vestibular and balance function to a greater extent. Additionally, these results may be altered by factors such as age and sex. Furthermore, while there is a multitude of literature regarding the impact of functional training on balance, few investigations combine these data with direct assessments of vestibular function. : Functional training may aid in improving vestibular and balance function, along with scores on common tests such as the Y balance test. However, more research is necessary to elucidate the direct mechanisms by which functional training may impact vestibular and balance function.
本叙述性综述的目的是研究关于一种日益流行的运动方法（通常称为“功能训练”）的现有文献，以及它对前庭和平衡功能的潜在影响。对2024年9月之前的实验文献进行了叙述性综述。要纳入本综述，所选研究需包括前庭功能、平衡功能、功能训练和/或功能运动的某些方面，并在人体中进行。有证据支持这样的说法，即实施体能训练计划可能改善前庭和平衡功能，但旨在改善功能运动的功能训练计划或体能训练计划可能在更大程度上改善前庭和平衡功能。此外，这些结果可能会因年龄和性别等因素而改变。此外，虽然有大量关于功能训练对平衡影响的文献，但很少有研究将这些数据与前庭功能的直接评估相结合。功能训练可能有助于改善前庭和平衡功能，以及诸如Y平衡测试等常见测试的分数。然而，需要更多的研究来阐明功能训练可能影响前庭和平衡功能的直接机制。
