What is Crossfit? - ✔✔constantly varied, high-intensity, functional movement
What is power? - ✔✔the time rate of doing work
What is the most important characteristic of functional movement? - ✔✔Capacity to move large loads
over long distance (high power producing)
What are the characteristics of functional movement? - ✔✔natural, universal motor recruitment
patterns, essential, safe, compound yet irreducible, core to extremity, high power producing.
Describe intensity - ✔✔Intensity is defined exactly as power. High intensity allows for shorter, high cardio
sessions.
What is 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.
What is 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.
What are the four supporting models of Crossfit's definition of fitness. - ✔✔The 10 general physical
skills; The Hopper; The Metabolic Pathways; Sickness-Wellness-Fitness Continuum.

,What are the 10 general physical skills? Why is this model important in defining fitness. - ✔✔stamina,
balance, coordination, flexibility, strength, speed, power, agility, cardiovascular respiratory endurance,
and accuracy. You are as fit as you are competent in each of these skills.
What is The Hopper Model? Why is this model important in defining fitness? - ✔✔Random tasks to
accomplish; The implication here is that fitness requires an ability to perform well at all tasks, even
unfamiliar tasks, tasks combined in infinitely varying combinations.
What are the Metabolic Pathways? Why is this model important in defining fitness? - ✔✔They provide
energy; They are Phosphocreatine, Glycolytic, and Oxidative. A fit person should be competent in all
pathways.
Describe the Phosphocreatine Pathway. - ✔✔Anaerobic (absence of oxygen); 10 second intervals; 100
meter dash.
Describe the Glycolytic Pathway. - ✔✔Anaerobic (absence of oxygen); 120 second intervals; 400 meter
sprint.
Describe the Oxidative Pathway. - ✔✔Aerobic (uses oxygen); more than 120 seconds; mile run.
What is the sickness-wellness-fitness continuum? Why is this model important in defining fitness? -
✔✔Every measurable value of health will fall somewhere on this continuum. Fitness (crossfit) provides
protection against the ravages of time and disease.
What's the difference between training and practice? - ✔✔Training refers to improving the 10 general
physical skills (I think) whereas practice refers to sport specific skills.
How does the sickness-wellness-fitness continuum relate to health? - ✔✔sickness, wellness, and fitness
are different measures of a single quality: health.

, Define the power curve. - ✔✔The area under which is your work capacity across broad time and modal
domains (your "fitness").
What is work capacity? How is work capacity illustrated in the power curve? - ✔✔One's fitness at a
certain time in one's life. (I think) I think it's illustrated by time, age, and power.
What is technique? - ✔✔Proper technique is the mechanism by which potential human energy and
strength are translated into real work capacity.
What are the three macronutrients in our diet? Give an example of each. - ✔✔Protein - meat
Carbohydrates - broccoli
Fat - Butter
What's crossfit's definition of health? - ✔✔health is defined as work capacity across broad time and
modal domains throughout life. sustained fitness.
Describe the roles of hormones, like insulin and glucagon, for blood sugar control - ✔✔Insulin regulates
the sugar in our blood.
Articulate the effects a highly refined and processed carbohydrate diet can have on health - ✔✔It can
lead to increased insulin levels.
Define hyperinsulinemia - ✔✔Hyperinsulinemia is the chronic and acute elevation of insulin as a result of
habitual consumption of excess carbohydrate.
Articulate the dangers of chronically elevated insulin levels. - ✔✔Elevated insulin levels can lead to
coronary disease, cancer, and Alzheimers
