Functional Movements;
large loads-- force
long distances-- distance(or reps)
quickly--time
Intensity - Ans:✔✔-Power; is the independent variable most commonly associated with maximizing the
rate or return . The greater/higher the intensity the better the results.
Most important characteristic of functional movements - Ans:✔✔-Their capacity to move large loads
over a long distances, quickly.
Crossfit Methodology - Ans:✔✔-Safety, efficacy and efficiency most important facets to elevate fitness
can be supported by measurable, observable and repeatable data. "Evidence based"
Constantly Varied: - Ans:✔✔-Exsposure to a program that is broad general and inclusive.
Factors to vary:
1. loads
2. distance
3. time

4 equipment.
Being prepared for the unknown and unknowable.
What is GPP and it's definition: - Ans:✔✔-General Physical Preparedness: Being prepared to run and
weightlift better than someone who only runs or only weightlift.
Ex: broad, general and inclusive and variance creates this general condition which prepares you for the
unknown.
Failing at the margins of your experience relating to variance in CF - Ans:✔✔-Constant variance prepares
you at your margins of experience to prevent failure at margins of experience
Specialization vs CrossFit - Ans:✔✔-Specialization in one sport and being great in one activity only vs

And to be considered fit is to be good at all 4 modals of fitness.
Define The 10 Physical Skills - Ans:✔✔-You are as fit as you are competent in each of these 10 Skills:
1. Cardiovascular/Respiratory Endurance (gather, process and deliver oxygen)
2. Stamina (process, deliver, store and utilize energy)
3. Strength (muscular unit, apply force)
4. Flexibility (maximize ROM of a joint)
5. Power(applying maximum force in minimum time)
6. Speed (minimize time cycle of a repeated movement)
7. Coordination (combine several patterns into a singular movement)
8. Agility (minimizing transition time)
9. Balance (control the body center of gravity)
10. Accuracy ( controlling movement in any direction at anytime)
