CROSSFIT LEVEL 1
Explain how CrossFit's definition of fitness and health differ from conventional
definitions.
R
We don't specialize. We don't focus on one aspect of fitness at a time, we raise all
E
levels of fitness equally.
GH
I
Define CrossFit
A core strength and conditioning program
GH
define and calculate power
IN
"Time rate of doing work"
at crossfit, "power" is the undisputed king of performance
Y
hard and fast
L
force X(times) distance/(divided by) time = power
F
Define and calculate work
ability to perform real physical work
ForceXDistance=work
, 2
describe intensity and how it is related to power
Power =Intensity
R
increases in strength, performance, muscle mass and bone density all arise in
E
proportion to the intensity of exercise.
GH
Articulate the relationship between intensity and results
I
increases in strength,performance, muscle mass and bone density
define variance
GH
N
functional movements, constantly varied, performed at high intensity.
I
Preparing for random physical changes, unknown and unknowable
LY
F
Define the hopper
performing well at any and every task imaginable
Define 3 metabolic pathways
, 3
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
R
3: Oxidative: Dominates low powered activities those that last in excess of
E
several minutes.
GH
Define GPP (General Physical Preparedness)
I
The 10 skills, you are as fit as you are competent In each of these.
H
Broad, General and inclusive creates this condition that prepares you for the
G
unknown.
IN
Explain the concept of failing at the margins of your experience and how it relates
Y
to variance in CrossFit.
L
Constant variance prepares you at your margins of experience to prevent failure.
F
What is fitness?
Increase work capacity across broad time and modal domains.
Broad=Variety
Modal=Multiple
