Questions with Explanations | Grade A+
• What is crossfit -✓✓Constantly varied functional movements executed at high
intensity.
• The aims, prescription, methodology, implementation, and adaptations of CrossFit -
✓✓to forge a broad general and inclusive fitness Prepare for the unknown and
unknowable.
• Characteristics of functional movements -✓✓natural, universal motor recruitment
patterns, essential, safe, compound yet irreducible, core to extremity, power.
• Most Important characteristic of Functional Movements -✓✓their capacity to move
large loads over long distances, and to do so quickly.
• Define and calculate work -✓✓ability to perform real physical work
Force X Distance = Work
• Define and calculate power -✓✓Intensity is defined exactly as power, and intensity is
the independent variable most commonly associated with maximizing the rate of return
of favorable adaptation to exercise. Force X Distance / Time = Power
• 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 favourable
adaption to exercise.
• Articulate the relationship between intensity and results -✓✓Intensity is the
independent variable most commonly associated with maximizing the rate of return of
favorable adaptation to exercise. Intensity and and functional movements are more
effective at creating results.
• Define variance -✓✓Variance means unknown and unknowable events. The model we
offer allows for wide variance of mode, exercise, metabolic pathway, rest, intensity,
sets, and reps.
, • Define General Physical Preparedness -✓✓GPP, the generalized base qualities of an
athlete. the aim is to establish a broad foundational fitness level that can then be
converted and applied throughout a wide range of tasks hoping to consistently make
gains in the 10 General Physical Skills of Fitness which prepares you for any physical
challenge
• Explain failing at the margins of your experience and how it relates to variance -
✓✓Constant variance prepares you at your margins of experience to prevent failure at
margins of experience
• Articulate the difference between specialization and CrossFit -✓✓Specialization is
focusing on 1 set of skills, CF is varied skills.
• Articulate CrossFit's definition of fitness and health, and their relationship -✓✓Fitness-
Work Capacity across broad time and modal domains.
Health- Fitness definition through out life.
• Identify the 4 supporting models of CrossFit -✓✓-10 general physical skills
-The Hopper
-Metabolic pathways Sickness-Wellness-Fitness
-Fitness Continuum
• 10 general physical skills -✓✓(Organic)
1. cardiovascular/respiratory endurance
2. stamina
3. strength
4. flexibility
(Both)
5. power
6. speed
(Neurological)
7. coordination
8. agility
9. balance
10. accuracy
• Identify how each model could be used to assess fitness and to determine the fittest
individual -✓✓- 10 general physical skills: Demonstrates the Facets of Fitness and
degrees of adaptions needed for fitness (Work Capacity)
- The Hopper: Demonstrates the skills and drills the "Fittest" can do.
- The Metabolic Pathways: Demonstrates the Different Bio-mechanical adaptions of
work capacity.
- Sickness-Wellness-Fitness Continuum: Demonstrates the traits of the "Fittest"
individual.
