Crossfit level 1|Complete With A+ Graded Answers
What is crossfit?
Constantly varied, functional fitness, performed at high intensity
Power =
Work/Time
Theoretical Hierarchy of Crossfit
for the development of an athlete
Starts with nutrition, then conditioning, gymnastics, lifting, and then sports
Crossfit increases
Work capacity across broad time & modale domains
Fitness increases
Increased work capacity across broad time & modale domains
Athlete
Person who is trained or skilled in strength, power, balance, agility, flexibility, & endurance
Characteristics of Functional Movements
Natural, universal muscle recruitment patterns, safe, essential, compound, core to extremity
FxD/T
Power (intensity)
FxD=
Equation for work
Aim of crossfit
Broad, general, & inclusive fitness
Hip & back extension
Dynamic in hip & trunk
Metabolic conditioning
Builds capacity in each of the 3 metabolic pathways, beginning with aerobic, then lactic acid, & then
phosphocreatine pathways
Push Press POPs
Torso drops straight down on the dip, there is no forward inclination of the chest, no muting of the
hip.
Aggressive turn around from the dip to the drive
, Work capacity definitiom
Ability to perform real physical work measured by force x distance/time
(Which is average power)
Crossfit is a core strength & conditioning program in what two distinct senses?
The fitness we develop is foundational to all other athletic needs and our work focuses on the major
functional axis of the human body, the extension & flexion, of the hips & extension, flexion, & rotation
of the torso or trunk
Fitness is
The area under the curve of the 2 dimensional model
Three most important & independent facets of any fitness program
Safety, efficacy, & efficiency;
They can be supported by measurable, observable, repeatable facts, i.e., data.
Speed
Ability to minimize the time cycle of a repeated movement
Cross training
Exceeding the normal parameters of the regular demands of your sport or training
Fitness in the power curve
Work capacity across broad time & modal domains
Two anerovic systems
Phosphagen system & lactic acid system
Safe
Functional movements are remarkably safe, especially when compared to non-functional movements
(the majority of machines you find at a standard gym)
Prescription
Constantly varied, high intensity, functional movement
Glucagon
Counter regulator hormone of insulin, it lets things out of cells, is released when blood glucose levels
are low & causes the cells to release glucose
Neuroendocrine adaptation
Change in the body that affects you either neurologically or hormonally. Most important adaptations
to exercise are in part or completely a result of a hormonal or neurological shift.
