⩥ Motor Unit. Answer: A motor neuron and all of the muscle fibers it
innervates.
The motor neurons of the PNS connect to a varying number of
individual muscle fibers in what is known as a motor unit.
The motor end plate is where the neuron makes its connection to each
individual muscle cell. Motor signals from the CNS cause a chemical
reaction at the motor end plate which initiates muscle contraction.
Muscles involved in intricate movements such as eye movement or
finger movement will have fewer muscle fibers per motor unit, whereas
muscles required in explosive movements will have more muscle fibers
per motor unit.
,⩥ The process of innervation. Answer: - The process of voluntary
movement is initiated in the motor cortex of the brain. Signals from the
motor cortex are carried along the descending motor pathways of the
spinal cord to the peripheral nerves that control the involved muscles.
- Motor signals continue along the axons of the peripheral (or alpha)
motor neurons and initiate the release of several chemical mediators at
the motor end plate.
- The release of these chemicals cause the actin and myosin proteins to
form crossbridges. This causes the myofilament to shorten.
- Repeated crossbridge formation and shortening of the myofilament will
cause the muscle fiber to shorten.
- Though there is less nervous system activity, an eccentric contraction
occurs in the same manner except that the actin is pulled away from the
myosin, which results in lengthening of the muscle under tension.
⩥ Coach Glassman's Comments on GPP. Answer: - GPP is the most
underdeveloped and neglected
aspect of athletic training, especially in elite athletes.
- CrossFit produces an unmatched GPP in novice,
intermediate, and advanced athletes regardless of
their prior training and sport.
- Every athlete we've worked with, from Olympic
medalists to UFC legends, has some glaring chink
in his/her GPP, and it takes at most two hours, two
sessions, on average to find these chinks.
,- Fixing these chinks, these deficiencies, has an
immediate benefit within your sport and very often
in ways not quite obvious mechanically and perhaps metabolically. For
instance, more pull-ups make for better skiing and skiers. Upper-body
pushing movements make for better rowing and rowers. Anaerobic
training is a boon to endurance athletes.
• There's greater margin for improving performance in elite athletes by
improving GPP with CrossFit than can be garnered through additional
sport-specific training.
• "CrossFit produces a 'ready state' from which more advanced or sport-
specific training becomes very efficient." —Mark Twight
• CrossFit will for many sports reduce the total training volume, reduce
training injuries, and allow more time for vital sport specific skills and
drills.
• CrossFit is more fun and seems more athletic to
experienced athletes than does traditional GPP.
• CrossFit has athletes improving their fitness for years beyond, to levels
significantly beyond, traditional GPP.
• Sport training and physiology are not so well
understood that highly specialized strength and
conditioning routines are optimally effective.
⩥ Functional Movements. Answer: - Universal motor recruitment
patterns
- Performed in a wave of contraction from core to extremity
, - Compound movements (multi-joint)
-Natural, effective, and efficient locomotors of body and external
objects.
- Able to move large loads over long distances quickly
⩥ Intensity. Answer: - Power
- The independent variable most commonly associated with maximizing
the rate of return of favorable adaptation to exercise
⩥ 3 most important interdependent facets to any fitness program.
Answer: Safety
Efficacy (the return; ability to produce results)
Efficiency (time rate of that adaptation, ability to produce results without
waste)
⩥ Crossfit 10 Fitness Domains. Answer: 1) cardiovascular/respiratory
endurance
2) stamina
3) strength
4) flexibility,
5) power
6) speed
7) coordination
