CrossFit L1 TEST STUDY
What is crossfit Constantly varied functional movements executed at high intensity.
The aims, prescription, methodology, implementation, and to forge a broad general and inclusive fitness Prepare for the unknown and
adaptations of CrossFit 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 100 pounds moved 20ft in 1 min= 2000ib ft/min
time change power output: 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 Constant variance prepares you at your margins of experience to prevent failure at
relates to variance margins of experience
Articulate the difference between specialization and Specialization is focusing on 1 set of skills, CF is varied skills.
