, Define Crossfit athlete a person who is skilled or trained in strength, power, balance, and agility,
flexibility, and endurance
How is energy derived? aerobically when O2 is utilized to metabolize substrates derived from food and
liberates energy
Aerobic activity: are usually greater than 90 seconds in duration and involve low to moderate
power output or intensity
Ex: running on treadmill for 20 min, swimming a mile, watching TV
Anaerobic activity: energy is liberated from substances in the absence of O2; these activities are of
less than 2 min in duration and involve moderate to high power output intensity
Ex: 100 m sprint, squatting, pull ups
Anaerobic systems: phosphagen and glycolytic (lactic acid)
2 Olympic lifts: clean and jerk and snatch
(they train athletes to activate more muscle fibers more rapidly more than through
any other modality of training; develop an athletes explosive power, control of
external objects, and mastery of critical motor recruitment patterns)
Hormonal responses vital to athletic development: increased in testosterone, insulin-like growth factor, and human growth hormone
Adaptive responses to exercises capable of producing a mass and bone density
significant neuroendocrine response:
Power time rate of doing work; also the definition of intensity
What is associated with high neuroendocrine response? heavy load weight lifting, short rest between sets, high heart rates, high intensity
training, short rest intervals
Cross training vs Crossfit cross training is participating in several sports and Crossfit views cross training as
exceeding the normal parameters of the regular demands of your sport training
Functional movement: are mechanically sound and therefor safe, and secondly they are the movements
that elicit a high neuroendocrine response
Crossfit diet: protein 30%; carbohydrates 40%; fat 30%
Protein: total calories based on protein needs which should be between 0.7 and 1.0 grams
of protein per pound of lean body mass
