Define CrossFit
constantly varied functional movement executed at high intensity.
Characteristics of Functional Movements:
1. Natural
2. UMRP: Universal motor recruitment pattern. (found everywhere)
3. Essential: for quality of life, living independently, to do everyday things.
,4. Safe
5. Compound yet irreducible (mutiple joints)
6. Core to extremity.
Define and Calculate Work:
The ability to perform real physical work as measured by; force x distance
Define and Calculate Power:
The time rate of doing work; intensity; force x distance./time
Functional Movements;
large loads-- force
long distances-- distance(or reps)
quickly--time
Intensity
Constantly Varied:
,Exsposure to a program that is broad general and inclusive.
Factors to vary:
1. loads
2. distance
3. time
4 equipment.
Being prepared for the unknown and unknowable.
What is GPP and it's definition:
General Physical Preparedness: Being prepared to run and weightlift better than
someone who only runs or only weightlift.
Ex: broad, general and inclusive and variance creates this general condition
which prepares you for the unknown.
Failing at the margins of your experience relating to variance in CF
Constant variance prepares you at your margins of experience to prevent failure
at margins of experience
Power; is the independent variable most commonly associated with maximizing
the rate or return . The greater/higher the intensity the better the results.
, Most important characteristic of functional movements
Their capacity to move large loads over a long distances, quickly.
Crossfit Methodology
Safety, efficacy and efficiency most important facets to elevate fitness can be
supported by measurable, observable and repeatable data. "Evidence based"
Specialization vs CrossFit
Specialization in one sport and being great in one activity only vs Crossfit that
will make you good in all activities.
Crossfit definition of fitness and health and their relationship
Fitness is work capacity across broad time and modal domains. and health is
work capacity across broad time and modal.domains throughout your life.
What are Crossfits Four -4- Models for evaluating and guiding fitness:
1. The 10 General Physical Skills
2. The Hopper
3. The Metabolic Pathways
4. Sickness and Wellness Continuum
