Define CrossFit - ✔✔CrossFit is constantly varied functional movements performed at high intensity
Characteristics of function movements: - ✔✔Natural, Universal Motor recruitment pattern, essential,
safe, compound yet irreducible, core to extremity, high power producing
Define most important characteristics - ✔✔Capacity to move large loads over long distance (high power
producing)
Define and calculate work - ✔✔capacity is the ability to perform real physical work as measured by force
x distance / time (which is average power). Fitness is this ability in as many domains as possible
Define and calculate power - ✔✔Work capacity is the ability to perform real physical work as measured
by force x distance / time (which is average power). Fitness is this ability in as many domains as possible.
Science is about measurement and prediction
Understand relative changes in force, distance and time change power output - ✔✔
Articulate the characteristics of function movements;
Natural: - ✔✔involves the movement of multiple joints for every activity
Articulate the characteristics of function movements;
Universal Motor Recruitment Patterns: - ✔✔To use all of your muscles to move in symphony efficiently,
effectively, and quickly from one place to another
Articulate the characteristics of function movements;
Essential: - ✔✔Quality of life, if we don't use them we lose them
,Articulate the characteristics of function movements;
Safe - ✔✔functional movements done correctly. All movements must be safe when utilizing proper form.
Articulate the characteristics of function movements;
Compound yet Irreducible: - ✔✔Multi-joint movements. You can't break the movement down to smaller
exercises or functional movements.
Articulate the characteristics of function movements;
Core to extremity: - ✔✔The movement starts from your core and works its way out.
Articulate the characteristics of function movements;
High-Power Producing: - ✔✔load, distance, speed-uniquely qualify functional movements for the
production of high power.;
Identify the most important characteristic: - ✔✔Power (force X distance/time)
Define and calculate work: - ✔✔ability to perform real physical work. Force X Distance
Define and calculate Power: - ✔✔time rate of doing work. Force X distance/time
Understand how relative changes in force, distance, and time change power output. - ✔✔100 pounds
moved 20ft in 1 min= 2000ib ft/min
100 pounds moved 20ft in 10 min= 200ib ft/min
10pounds moved 20ft in 1 min=200ib ft/min
Describe intensity and how it is related to power: - ✔✔Power=Intensity. Intensity is power. Intensity is
the independent variable commonly associated with max favorable adaption to exercise.
Articulate the relationship between intensity and results: - ✔✔Intensity brings results
, Define variance: - ✔✔Prep for random physical challenges, unknown and unknowable.
Define general physical preparedness: - ✔✔is broad , general, and inclusive
Explain the concept of 'failing at the margins of your experience' and how it relates to variance in
CrossFit: - ✔✔Constant variance prepares you at your margins of experience to prevent failure at
margins of experience.
Articulate the difference between specialization and CrossFit: - ✔✔Specializations focusing on special
skills and CF is variance. Specialty is no specialization
Articulate CrossFit's definition of fitness and health, and their relationship - ✔✔Increased work capacity
over broad time and model domains as defined by:
-10 general physical skills
-The Hopper
-Metabolic Pathways
-Sickness- Wellness-Fitness continuum
Define the four supporting models of this definition: - ✔✔1) 10 General Physical Skills; 2) The Hopper; 3)
Metabolic
Pathways; and 4) Sickness-Wellness-Fitness Continuum
1) 10 General Physical Skills; - ✔✔1. Cardiovascular & Respiratory Endurance
2. Stamina
3. Strength
4. Flexibility
5. Power
6. Speed
7. Coordination
