SOLUTIONS
Question:
What is functional movement.
Answer:
load, distance, and speed for production of high power
Question:
Define intensity.
Answer:
power (intensity is the independent variable)
Question:
Crossfit methodology:.
Answer:
safety, efficacy, and efficiency (the 3 most important and interdependent facets to evaluate any
fitness program, can be supported only by measurable, observable, repeatable data)
Question:
10 fitness domains of Crossfit:.
Answer:
cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination,
agility, balance, and accuracy
,Question:
Define athlete.
Answer:
a person who is trained or skilled in exercises, sports, or games requiring physical strength, agility,
or stamina
Question:
Define Crossfit athlete.
Answer:
a person who is skilled or trained in strength, power, balance, and agility, flexibility, and endurance
Question:
How is energy derived?
Answer:
aerobically when O2 is utilized to metabolize substrates derived from food and liberates energy
Question:
Aerobic activity:.
Answer:
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
Question:
Anaerobic activity:.
Answer:
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
,Question:
Anaerobic systems:.
Answer:
phosphagen and glycolytic (lactic acid)
Question:
2 Olympic lifts:.
Answer:
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)
Question:
Hormonal responses vital to athletic development:.
Answer:
increased in testosterone, insulin-like growth factor, and human growth hormone
Question:
Adaptive responses to exercises capable of producing a significant neuroendocrine response:.
Answer:
mass and bone density
Question:
Power.
Answer:
time rate of doing work; also the definition of intensity
, Question:
What is associated with high neuroendocrine response?
Answer:
heavy load weight lifting, short rest between sets, high heart rates, high intensity training, short rest
intervals
Question:
Cross training vs Crossfit.
Answer:
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
Question:
Functional movement:.
Answer:
are mechanically sound and therefor safe, and secondly they are the movements that elicit a high
neuroendocrine response
Question:
Crossfit diet:.
Answer:
protein 30%; carbohydrates 40%; fat 30%
Question:
Protein:.
