Every Flash card for the CROSSFIT LEVEL
1 questions and answers
Explain how CrossFit's definition of fitness and health differ from conventional
definitions.
We don't specialize. We don't focus on one aspect of fitness at a time, we raise all
levels of fitness equally.
Define CrossFit
A core strength and conditioning program
define and calculate power
"Time rate of doing work"
at crossfit, "power" is the undisputed king of performance
hard and fast
force X(times) distance/(divided by) time = power
Define and calculate work
ability to perform real physical work
ForceXDistance=work
describe intensity and how it is related to power
Power =Intensity
increases in strength, performance, muscle mass and bone density all arise in
proportion to the intensity of exercise.
Articulate the relationship between intensity and results
increases in strength,performance, muscle mass and bone density
define variance
, functional movements, constantly varied, performed at high intensity.
Preparing for random physical changes, unknown and unknowable
Define the hopper
performing well at any and every task imaginable
Define 3 metabolic pathways
1:Phosphagen: Dominate the highest power activities, those that last less than about 10
seconds
2:Glyeolytic: Dominates moderated powered activities, those that last up to several
minutes
3: Oxidative: Dominates low powered activities those that last in excess of several
minutes.
Define GPP (General Physical Preparedness)
The 10 skills, you are as fit as you are competent In each of these.
Broad, General and inclusive creates this condition that prepares you for the unknown.
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.
What is fitness?
Increase work capacity across broad time and modal domains.
Broad=Variety
Modal=Multiple
Define Sickness-Wellness-Fitness Continuum
A measure of health using varied measurements (blood pressure, Body Fat, Bone
Density, Cholesterol, Triglycerides, Flexibility, Muscle Mass, etc)
Sickness, wellness and fitness are different of a single quality health.
