Correct Answers | Graded A+
• Prescription -✓✓Constantly varied, high-intensity, functional
movement. Universal motor recruitment patterns. Multi-joint
movements (compound movements). Natural, effective, and efficient
locomotor of body and eal objects. Capacity to move large loans over
long distances, and to do so quickly.
LOAD, SPEED, AND DISTANCE- qualify functional movements for
the production of high-power. Intensity is power and is independent
variable most commonly associated with maximizing rate of return of
favorable adaptations to excercise.
• Methodology -✓✓Empirical. Safety, efficacy, and efficiency-
measurable, observable, and repeatable data. Evidence-based fitness.
Methods, results and criticisms. Empirically driven, clinically tested, and
community developed.
• Implementation -✓✓sport of fitness. natural camaraderie, competition,
and fun of sport or game yields an intensity that cannot be matched by
other means. "The fear of sporting failure is worse than the fear of death.
Men will die for points.
• Adaptations -✓✓Evidence-based fitness, crossfit increases work
capacity across broad time and modal domains. Publicly posting
performance data, co-developing our program in collaboration with
other coaches, and our open-source charter in general has well
positioned us to garner important lessons from our program- to learn
precisely and accurately, that is about the adaptations elicited by
CrossFit. Not trade improvements in any other fitness metric for a
decrease in work capacity.
, • Foundations -✓✓Physical competence in each of 10 fitness domains.
Cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility,
power, speed, coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy. Bike, run,
swim, and row at short, middle, and long distances.
Olympic weightlifting to develop explosive power, control of external
objects, and mastery of critical motor recruitment patterns. Variety of
sports as a vehicle to express and apply their fitness.
• Athlete -✓✓greater bone density, stronger immune systems, less
coronary heart disease, reduced cancer risk, fewer stroked, and less
depression.
A person who is trained or skilled in strength, power, balance and
agility, flexibility, and endurance.
Fitness=health=athleticism
• Fringe athletes -✓✓CrossFit considers the sumo wrestler, triathlete,
marathoner, and power lifter to be _________ athletes because their
fitness demands are so specialized as to be inconsistent with the
adaptations that give maximum competency at all physical challenges.
• 10 general physical skills -✓✓Cardiovascular/respiratory endurance,
stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility,
balance, and accuracy.
• Aerobic -✓✓when the majority of energy needed is derived
aerobically. Usually greater than 90 seconds in duration and involve low
to moderate power output or intensity. Examples include running on
treadmill for 20 mins, swimming a mile, or watching TV.
• Anaerobic -✓✓energy is liberated from substrates in the absence of
oxygen. develop a very high level of aerobic fitness without the muscle
wasting consistent with high volume aerobic exercise. Less than two
minutes in duration and involve moderate to high- power output or
intensity.
